Quote:Originally posted by rarnomFront Mission 4 is pretty good, though I wish they kept some of the features in Front Mission 3. The Wanzers move like slow behemoths, and not like the sliding menaces they were in the previous games, but the graphics and sound are definitely a step up from its predecessors. However, it was a lot of fun, and the English voice acting is superb, probably since even the Japanese version had the English VAs only.
Fair enough. Now that you list those I guess 'slim pickings' was the wrong word... and like Mantis said, of the three systems, the Ps2 does have the biggest library of rpgs so far.
btw, how was Front Mission 4? I loved 3 and I am curious if it is as good or better than FM3...
If you enjoyed FM3, then you'll probably have a great time with 4. Just don't expect everything from 3 to be in FM4. I think that sums it up pretty well.
Also, Square Enix is currently developing a Front Mission Online title, which is about to undergo beta testing, but only in Japan, I believe. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the game would require you to pay a monthly fee, similar to FF XI.
