Unlike a lot of recent Square RPG ports/remakes, Front Mission 1st Remake wasn’t worked on by Square Enix at all instead, this game was remade from the ground up by Forever Entertainment and, and while I had some doubts on if they could transition from the great pixel art to a 3D setup, especially from how rough Forever’s Panzer Dragoon remake turned out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Front Mission turned out to get some pretty solid presentational upgrades, making it great for newcomers like me.įor starters, the game allows the option of a “Classic” or “Modern” style, and while Modern allows you to rotate the camera and touches up some parts of the gameplay to make it flow a bit better for those used to more recent SRPGs, the Classic mode sticks to the locked, isometric perspective of the original versions, and even uses the original SFC OST, albeit in its DS incarnation. In this strategy RPG, you take control of either the OCU or the UCS Forces, as they each embark on their own quests in the battle of Huffman Isle! The OCU campaign is the original SFC campaign, and that was the one I primarily focused on here despite being a SRPG from the Super Famicom days, the plot here is intriguing and has some good threads to keep you engaged to find out what’s next, while the UCS campaign from the PS1 port helps fill in some gaps and show the other side of the conflict, while being a bit more complex in level design. Thanks to Forever Entertainment for the review code Title: Front Mission 1st: Remake
