Fuck jap game developers for ignoring the western world. Why not featuring an english option in the menu?! Morons, years of development and programming and in the end not one buck left for a translation. Go fuck jap morons.
@chemiecharmeur It takes a lot of efforts to translate a game, not to speak the amount of money needed to localize it... Oh never mind, I don't think you will be able to understand.
I played it for 10 minutes and knew it was good. The depth of development in this game goes beyond most PS2 games. Even the cameras are very cinematographic.
@RocmanRaz It helps development when you have an actual film director helping out with the development of the cutscenes. Check out frontmission.info if you want to learn more about it!
@aleste37 Front Mission doesn't sell well because the first game they marketed here was the bastard child of the series, FM3, (which I do love....Japanese consider it under par). Then the second one released here was 4, which went back to the classic gameplay roots from the first installments.
If they had released Front Mission here on Super Nintendo back in 1996 then this entire franchise may have stood a chance in the US.
@Feijoada1 I know. I'm just saying that, American audiences look at #4 as the bastard child and #3 as the standard good one. I love 4...the mechanics are much better than #3 IMO. My original point was that the Japanese see #3 as the bastard child of the series because they attempted new gameplay mechanics in #3 which strayed from the traditional mechanics of 1, 2 and some of the other titles. #4 goes back to the traditional gameplay roots.
I think someone got lazy...and completely forgot the Part 2!????? Ugh. I WANT this game now that there's been a translation patch! I'm such a nerd for this series---and no, I'm having NOTHING to do with Evolved. BLYECK. I already have Armored Core.
i wish this would have been released in the US because even though it's like front mission 4, 5 is just way more animated and epic in its battles....guess i better start learning japanese....basterds...
@kevinmarquez19 A shit load of people still play their PS2 consoles. The system may seem like rubbish to you because you live in the era of Wii Go Nutz 4 Wii, but a lot of us know a good game console when we see one and a lot of us even have our original consoles from 2001. :)
@Caparzoshow I owned and loved both my Dreamcast and PS2 lots of good times with MvC2,Call of Duty:Finest Hour, God of War, Resident Evil 4, and loads of others, its just that when you play on your 360 its kind of hard to go back because the Xbox/PS3 is very concentrated on Multiplayer, but if you love Single player games I can see what your saying, the PS2 is awesome, but I just wanted to let you know that I had used a PS2 and it was a great experience.
I was so ticked when we didn't get Front Mission Online nor Front Mission 5. But, we're getting Front Mission: Evolved (which I wish they would have named 6). That makes up for it.

@trexgunkillyoudead Heh funny, release date of Front Mission Evolved for Europe is still 17 september, that was not changed while for USA as I said before they pushed it to 28.
I played the first Front Mission on an NES emulator it's to date the only one i've ever played but now i'm going to change that, it was awesome all the dialog was in Japanese but the main menus "customization screen and battle menu" were in English it had a feature which the squeals don't seem to, a Colosseum to fight other mecs to earn money and parts in each city.
Hey you can always download this with english subtitles from emulation sites. As long as you have the chipped or modded ps2 just google it. I did after watching this review and now im playing it.
Bit of a git in subtitles but hey the games AWESOME. anyone wants a link just send me a message.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This guy is completely full of shit. PS3 has yet to be hacked and is still incapable of playing backups. Don't fall for his stupid bullshit. 10 bucks says that website will infect you with viruses.
I own FM3, 4 and the DS one. I didn't even know they had a FM5 out. I wish they would just translate the text and toss this on PSN for Download. I'd pay 20-30 bones.
geez man! that's why i could'nt find an english version of front mission 5 here and else were! its for japan only? why? I'd finished the 4 many times. i love this mech game!
Much respect to these reviewers who can play through an entire game in another language just for the sake of saying they've played it. I couldn't do that myself, unless I was playing a wrestling game (because let's face it, when do you ever give a rat's ass about the plotline of a wrestling match?)
if you have a modified ps2 or use swap magic there is a group doing a fan translation of all in game text. they are almost finished. its quite playable and understandable now. theres going to be about 1 more version of the translation and it'll be mostly just background stuff
I'm actually looking forward to FM Evolved. I liked the more ground-based combat of the early PS2 Armored Core titles, how missiles and rockets could catch other players off guard. But I realize that the game might end up being a big flop. Hopefully they handle it well.
Sad there wont be an english version, Im a huge fan of Front Mission series. btw I just paused at 0:53, wanzers always been original and stuff but the ones in this frames make Zakus come over my mind XD
Sigh well Actually Guys The ONLINE Seems better of front mission 5 online but how on earth we connect through ps2 man!!? and wat is the LEVEL max of front mission 5? BTW
I wanted to play this game so bad back in the day. This game was released---4 years ago!? Man, after the year and half mark passed, I got too busy with life to continue waiting. I don't think I'll even get around to playing the fan translation now
I played Front Mission 3 on SNES once, and I loved it, I tried the others ones which were like this one but I didnt like it so much, although I loved FF Tactics on PS1 (not GBA). Now Front Mission Evolved is coming and it's going to be released on PC (Windows) too AND worldwide not only in Japan! CANT WAIT!!!
unfortunately FME is going to be a third person action game. Yep, just like armored core. Now i won't pass judgment on it just yet, but I will say that I am disappointed they are changing the game so drastically..
Yes, of course, because a spinoff of the Front Mission series is action, Japan is always superior to america.
Yup.
From what I've seen, it seems to be a spinoff of the series. They probably will make a Front Mission 6 with the strategy gameplay we all know and love.
I mean, I like the Front Mission series, with its amazing gameplay and all that, but piloting a Wanzer would be SWEET. It looks like it's going to be a good game, too! And believe me, there aren't many mecha action games these days.
I don't know.. to me at least, no japanese strategy game has beat Microprose "Mech Commander" series, which I pray a 3rd comes out now that they are coming out with MechWarrior 5 :D
i just called the store they got the one on ds for stock so im getting it and i got fm4 and like i said. wagner my fav bad guy ever lol strongest one square wanzer ever
Yep, In good old timesI had problem with language to when I played FM 3, it was in russian or suposted to be in russian, aldough didn't understood the language, I learned to play, and the game became one of my favorite on PS
just do a search on Youtube or google. There's vids by the creator. It's a patch so you need to find the regular game first of course. Currently they are working on a FM 2 PS1 patch.
eh iwas just htink ing of just modding my old ps2 being idont really need it no more... and gettingn ew controllers.... sincei have no clue bout this magicswap being id need to get a whole new ps2 anyways to use it lol
well then its a good thign i have the actual japanese game :D guess ill just go see how much modding costs since i dun wanna waste money buyign a disk lol
You CANT play your Japanese Front Mission 5 in English because you'd have to convert the original disc to an .ISO file onto your computer then patch it with the English patch, then make a DVD-R copy of it, then play it on your PS2 using Swap Magic 3.6 or a modded PS2. However, Swap Magic is safer & cheaper in the end than a chip because sometimes those chips burn out and it's expensive to hire someone to modify or fix it. Or play it on your super fast PC with an emulator
who says id care too much in english? only thing i got curious was there was a way to play in english... id rather just mod my ps2 then buy a whole cept of new stuff just to burn and play in english..when i can just play it originally..
because getting Swap Magic 3.6 and the disc cover is cheaper and safer in the end over modding your PS2.
I modded my first PS2 and it never worked the same since. Eventually it died. And unless you can read Japanese then playing it in English would be better since the game has a great story that you'd be missing.
if you have a mod chp you can play an import or back up. and their is a translation patch out for it thats fully working! if your interested google it.
It sucks that we never got 5... we would have if people would have only bought Front Mission 4 instead of it selling so poorly, I remember seeing the game brand new for 15$ at walmart, which is crazy since Walmart doesn't discount games very often.
I've never understood why developers couldn't invest 3 lousy bucks more into a game to come up with English subtitles even though the game is for one market only. They would sell a few more I guess, especially when the predecessors were already a success in other parts of the world. This is kind of stupid.
theres a group of people translating this game through patches, they some of the menu text translated and are working on a new patch that translates the intro and tutorial
To me it just doesnt seem like a review. It's more of a discription of a game. Which i like. A scoring/grading system would just give more context to the review and his opinions as a whole. he just doesnt seem to critique very much. sometimes he does, but its inconsistant. I like his videos alot, but its hard to call them reviews sometimes.
I agree , It feels more like commericals now, He does not do to many "classic games" as much,I think he is losing some of that magic since he went "pro".
No these reviews are really great. I haven't seen game reviews with this much depth and actually shows you the game play. Plus CGR has frequent reviews. Plus they look at titles that don't really get talked about. They expose a lot of hidden gems.
Damn you Square Enix for not translating this into english! and of course other languages like german, french, and whatnot so other countires can play it, this game rocks.
They should localize this game and remaster it in HD for the PS3.

The only similar type of game would be armored core which has seriously overstayed its welcome.
I can't comment on the quality of the game as I haven't seen enough of it yet to make an assessment.
However, it seems like the mechanics will be nothing like the previous games; it won't be a turn based strategy game which already disappoints me.
It's looking like it will only be a Front Mission game in title and only that.

You CANT play your Japanese Front Mission 5 in English because you'd have to convert the original disc to an .ISO file onto your computer then patch it with the English patch, then make a DVD-R copy of it, then play it on your PS2 using Swap Magic 3.6 or a modded PS2. However, Swap Magic is safer & cheaper in the end than a chip because sometimes those chips burn out and it's expensive to hire someone to modify or fix it. Or play it on your super fast PC with an emulator

who says id care too much in english? only thing i got curious was there was a way to play in english... id rather just mod my ps2 then buy a whole cept of new stuff just to burn and play in english..when i can just play it originally..
GreatFreedom 2 years ago
because getting Swap Magic 3.6 and the disc cover is cheaper and safer in the end over modding your PS2.
I modded my first PS2 and it never worked the same since. Eventually it died. And unless you can read Japanese then playing it in English would be better since the game has a great story that you'd be missing.

Swap magic needs more drastic conversion than a mod chip. And a chipping is ~$25.

hey i bought my ps2 in canada so like ya can it play jpn games please someone answer me back
lovivos 3 years ago
if you bought yours in canada than it cant play a japanese game, becouse it has an ntsc regional code.
BlutBasilisk 2 years ago
It's JPN region code... Both US and JPN use the NTSC standard. NTSC is a video code not region. Like Secam or PAL.

I love this series, but sadly stupid westerners have no patience or true eye for quality gaming.
then again FM4 had the worst cast of characters and plot, which I blame 4 this series future demise here in the states.
I really want this title. it looks like it holds up to FM1.
and yes! this and Thunder force 6 are some of the reasons i want jap ps2.

It sucks that we never got 5... we would have if people would have only bought Front Mission 4 instead of it selling so poorly, I remember seeing the game brand new for 15$ at walmart, which is crazy since Walmart doesn't discount games very often.

There is an English patch out for Front Mission 5! It's playable now !
iosomewhere 3 years ago
I've never understood why developers couldn't invest 3 lousy bucks more into a game to come up with English subtitles even though the game is for one market only. They would sell a few more I guess, especially when the predecessors were already a success in other parts of the world. This is kind of stupid.

That and a scoring system.

No, no, no !
"Scoring system" ?!? Thats for some lame shit like IGN Reviews, who dont give a very descriptive reviews...
ImperialPimp 3 years ago 3
To me it just doesnt seem like a review. It's more of a discription of a game. Which i like. A scoring/grading system would just give more context to the review and his opinions as a whole. he just doesnt seem to critique very much. sometimes he does, but its inconsistant. I like his videos alot, but its hard to call them reviews sometimes.
mikemedal 3 years ago
I agree , It feels more like commericals now, He does not do to many "classic games" as much,I think he is losing some of that magic since he went "pro".
themage747 3 years ago
No these reviews are really great. I haven't seen game reviews with this much depth and actually shows you the game play. Plus CGR has frequent reviews. Plus they look at titles that don't really get talked about. They expose a lot of hidden gems.
