What has changes since then regarding Aesthetics and design art of mechs in Anime since then? I rather prefer the more 'industrial' like robot designs compared to the gladiator type designs that are used in Anime like Gundam.
@@dibdap2373 Ah, my mistake. I thought he talked about the designs that are used these days in anime and Japanese games. I am not really a big fan of some of these designs today. Their designers more trying to make them look 'cool' than practical as far as practical is possible with huge mechs. Computer game graphics are nicer now but I feel it is more difficult for a sci-fi game to jump out among the dozens of released by just looking unique.
You destroy so much of my annoying obsessively check for differences and best versions of videogames that I had to do for so many years in succinct, interesting, enjoyable and well researched videos... Thank you!!!!
Straight facts. It's basically a service which is why I'm more than happy to support on Patreon. A lot of other port comparisons on UA-cam are either incomplete or gloss over important details. Austin covers everything I care about sussinctly.
@@CamuiKushi and also they're nice about all ports and always specify that there is no wrong way to play a game, if there's only one way you can play it
Honestly really wish there was a database or website that just laid it all out or at least the pros and cons of each. Its annoying because half the time the newest version isn't the best (Valkyrie Profile and Grandia)
The Front Mission 2 remake is being developed by Storm Trident and the 3 remake is being done by MegaPixel Studios, different dev teams but both subsidiaries of Forever Entertainment.
Playing unofficial translations is so natural to me now that when it got to the part about the DS localization not asking if you previously played, my first reaction was “why would they go through the trouble of changing that”
I just want to say your channel might just be the straight up most useful one on youtube for me. Compiling a list of differences is so helpful when deciding which to play and I really want to thank you for them.
I'm still on the fence, but I'm leaning towards the DS version. I like the 2d graphics and it seems like the only advantage of the switch port is the tactical overhead map.
Front Mission is regarded as one of the best looking SNES games. This remake, however - while having quality of live improvements, the visuals doesn't do the justice for the game (especially during battles). Remaking it in high definition pixel art would took much much longer and Square wouldn't want to wait this long. I wonder which style would work better in this case - Octopath Traveller or Final Fantasy pixel remasters?
Great video! It sounds like the DS version is the way to go for me when considering convenience. You actually made me more interested in trying the series thanks to the clarification that you provided.
Finished up the Switch version the other day and really enjoyed it, going to need to try the alternative campaign eventually. Funny as I played the SNES and DS versions but never managed to get overly far despite liking them. Cool to see the comparisons.
Absolute madman, another great review and comparison video :) I assume then that Forever Entertainement is only acting as Publisher for Front Mission 2 remake, with Storm Trident developping?
The remake certainly looks...With the retro look being so prevalent nowadays this should not be looking like an Asset Flip. Maybe it would've been cool if they have tried to make it look closer to Front Mission 3 for the PS1 but with all the special effects of an Octopath Traveler. Maybe for the next Remake in 28 years? ...mayhaps...
Honestly, I wish someone made a patch for the DS version that made battle transitions faster. I prefer the pixel look even though the remake looks great.
Nice to see some comparisons between fm1 versions, I emulated the famicom version while my buddy played the DS one, it was weird not knowing he had done the opposing campaign
That Switch version isn’t bad visually, but definitely looks “cheap” and is nowhere near as nice as the original sprite graphics. I wish the remake had an option to use the original’s visuals.
The old versions still look so good, I wouldn't them just being blown up to HD, but the new 3D version covers the major bases surprisingly faithfully. What about the dialogue translation though? Would love for this game to have more breathing room on non-Switch platforms
Forever Entertainment usually port their games to pc later, that happen to Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead, so I doubt that Front Mission will be any different
I’m playing FM1 Remake on PC, and I’m so sad, that you can’t do “cool” wanzers. I remember on SNES I was able to do one looks like tank, or car transporter like from alien [by legs/ body and weapon hands combo], now all non bipedal legs anyway make mechs to “stand” all weapon hands are always so far from body… Nothing big, but I was soooo excited to do those again as I did when I was kid, and nope :/
The fan translation got a pretty big update from mteam after this video dropped. I'm gonna be playing through it to see how comprehensive it is, but they seem confident in how complete the fixes are.
something I've been always curious about this franchise is the story continuity... does it ends with cliff hangers or every installment is a different brand new story?
12:49 It's funny; I'm the exact opposite. I'm not a fan of the mechs sliding aroundcas if their ice skating, and i prefer the more relatable (to me) stomping/walking animation, even if it is slower in the modern mode, or have it as an option in the modern mode.
I emulated this back in the day on SNES9x and it was in English & had excellent translation. Nothing beats that jazzy, low-key music during the interludes & shop portions.
Kids nowadays should count their blessings for being given the opportunity to play this gem (even though the majority won’t or will probably never hear about it). I still remember trying to play this back in the emulator days in 2000 and it was all in japanese. I could only do so much before i got frustrated not knowing wth was going on. Didn’t want to play a tactical rpg where the dialogue was completely lost. Now there are english patches. Re-releases and all that stuff.
I know this is an old post to reply to but I couldn't agree more! I really want to play Front Mission 5 with an official english translation without having to resort to a soft modded PS2 or emulation. Not having to rely on my imported PS2 to play Front Mission 4 would be nice too since that was never released in my country (I'm from the UK) or Europe in general. We only got Front Mission 3 on the PS1, Front Mission Evolved on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and Left Alive on the PS4. From everything I've heard (I haven't played Front Mission 2 or 5 yet) 3 is tied with 5 as the best in the series.
@@ironbru1986 i enjoyed 4 alot. tbh in terms of gameplay i thought it was better than 5, but it was also the first in the series that i played. 5 does have part upgrading though and maby better story.
Soo important channel, thank you! For me, the DS version is the best version of all. The Remake looks and feels like a botched job. Don’t understand why SQE seems to hate FM and it’s fanbase. I still have nightmares about Left Alive.. Hoping that FM2&3 Remake will be better..
The Switch version to me is the best of them all. Difficulty options and it looks and sounds great. After all these years I was finally able to beat both campaigns and experience the story!
Very thorough video about the difference! Feels like the new remake lacks the charm of the pixel art. The models and combat look so lifeless in comparison. Also not looking the trend of remastered music being ... "softer" to the original soundtrack. At least the FM2 combat looks more dynamic.
I just wish they'd release these updated versions to something like the PS4 or PC, as I'd absolutely love to play 1 & 2 but don't have a DS or a Switch. I absolutely loved 3 & 4 so I'd get a PS4/PC version pretty much Day 1
You said that Forever Entertainment is not making the Front Mission 2 and 3 remakes, but seems like Forever is the publisher to all 3 games and MegaPixel Studio and Storm Trident are the Devs, so i'm kinda confused
That Switch 'remake' felt more like face lift. That price tag is a bit high for what it is. What would be sweet is a action game using the old stories. FOr me Front Mission Evolved and Front Mission Gun Hazard are the more desired game plays and proof the series not once, but twice, is not always turn based. For turn based. Front Mission 3 is still king and i may just go back and play the one I got.
I honestly would have bought it if the art design was like Octopath Traveler. But the new 3D graphics look so generic. Like a mobile game or bargain bin game. Hopefully, 2 or 3 have more stylized graphics.
I forgot this was coming out. Thankfully, the people around me are mech game nuts and so my recommended feed was filled with mech vids and this was one of them. Thanks for reminding me to pick this one up
I like the pixel graphics more than the modern Switch graphics, it has more charm. I may be biased because it was one of the games I put countless hours into when it was released on the PS1.
As someone who played only FM3 and was wondering to go back, I think remakei s pretty damn good looking. It shows that was made with people who know what they doing, compared to some other "remakes" of west big titles lately...
They are all so perfectly close to the original that you don't miss on anything, but i share your sentiment, ds version would be the best one if you don't care for graphics or don't have a switch, in that case switch version is just as good. Mad respect to the fan translation for the SNES though, i can't even count on how many franchises i would've missed if people weren't willing on translating unreleased games.
There's also a PC port of the latest/Switch version. Also, i believe i've read somewhere online that there's a version where Lloyd/Royd is just one of the characters in the game and not THE main protagonist of the game, and therefore he's not an essential unit you need to put in the battlefield in every single mission unlike the other versions. Although, i somehow can't find where i've read it nor have i found which version that comment/post was talking about.
Thank you for the comparison videos, I played the DS version on the original hardware and had a blast, but now I know it was toned down. I will check the psx version out!
Despite all naysayers to the contrary, I did play Front Mission USN campaign in English patch on a PlayStation emulator. I can’t find a trace of it now and people now say it never existed.
They need to bring this to Steam/PC. I played the original SNES version and didn't get to play the one from ps1/ds. Great potential on this franchise and I hope it gets a lot of sales to warrant better sequels.
It's playable with Ryujinx. I tried to give it a chance but after an hour of looking at those poor 3D I decided that emulating DS is better way (although I wish I had an widescreen so setting both screens left and right would look even better).
Think I'll cop this version- I've played the SNES with the fantranslation, so I feel like I oughta pay them for that pleasure now that the opportunity's here. I guess I could go for the DS if I can find it on auctions, but it was only ever released in the US and I'm in EU, and even if I am a 90's kid with massive nostalgia boomer for the pixel aesthetic that this game didn't maintain, I feel like the content here beibg functionally identical only with some more QoL features mean my eyes can swallow some disappointment. Still, I'm looking forward to 2 and 3, haven't played or own those at all!
Comparing all versions, that includes dialogue change, I feel much satisfied with the Super Nintendo one. I don't like that they watered down the dialogue on the DS version and I just don't like the modern look of the Switch version. Most of all, despite loving the remix of the music tracks, I can't hear a damn noise of gun fire from the Playstation one. What the hell? All in all, the Super Nintendo one is superior. I love this game and its music.
Brilliant comparison. I think the parts being "toned down" in DS version come late in the game? I swear I've read lot of people mentioning there was some subplot removed.
I love FM but what prevented me from finishing this game is the fact the upgrades start to look the same. They should have kept everything different, the reused the images too much
Wait no more. Borderscape is cancelled since Square and Blackjack Studio parted their ways. The game however remain under new name - Mecharashi and is expected worldwide next year.
Idk if its the same guy but i think this guy also has you youtube channel wiegraf9009 or maybe he just worked on the same project but i watched his front mission 5 gameplay a while back and remembered him talking about translating it alot as well as some mis translations and charecter limits for the english version
So at the end of the day, the choice is between DS and Switch, and the Switch have quite a lot of improvements an QoL changes with only some elements from DS lacking (like the cameos). Humm...I'll need to think about it whether to download the DS version to my flashcart or buy the Switch version.
The switch version definitely makes a case for why I despise all modern remakes. It's like someone spray painted over a classical painting, and pretended it was an improvement.
I miss the 90s computer aesthetic. It was that weird robot future from 80s/90s anime that made me love FM.
