But yet one look at the Wanzers in these scenes tells the truth, as each Wanzer is fully decked out with equipment that the player has appointed. In FM5, all kinds of visual filters and effects such as heat-distortion, motion blur, light trails are used to make cutscenes so visually cinematic that one would almost feel they were CG. It’s not uncommon to see groups of 20 mechanical « Wanzers » coming over a distant desert hill while an excellent heat distortion effect makes their ever-glowing red eyes even more frightening and deadly.
First of all the mecha cutscenes have seen heavy improvements by having vast number of units on screen at once. While the battle graphics look pretty similar to FM4 with better mecha designs, the in-game engine cutscenes have made an enormous leap forward. The biggest change in the transition from FM4 to FM5 is no doubt the graphics. Rather than attempting to appease the hardcore FM players, with FM5, the development team decided to make a game that was more mainstream, fast-paced, and fun for all. But, while FM5 is no doubt a better game than FM4, in terms of the length/depth argument, the title isn’t going to make the hardcore complaints go away. After the hardcore 100 hour in-depth FM3, some hardcore fans were disappointed with the mainstream feel of Front Mission 4.

If one were to describe Front Mission 5 in a nutshell, the description would read « Front Mission 4 plus more ». Front Mission 5 is a game for FM players, and for that group of a few hundred thousand or so, it’s a worthy experience. Not that Front Mission 5 is a bad game (actually its a very good game), but rather, as much as Front Mission 5 makes strides to appeal to the mainstream gamer, the game is not likely to entice new fans. Yet, this was likely a smart decision on the part of Square Enix. Slated a week after another major Square Enix franchise, Kingdom Hearts II, FM5 quietly arrived in stores with little press. Front Mission 5 arrived at a strange time in Japan.
