I ready to dive into this series again from the start - and it seems FM2 never got a fully finished translation, officially or fanmade, in all these years until now.
Im most excited to play FM5 for the PS2 - but gotta start from the beginning.

This is pretty awesome to see even as someone without a Switch. I love the front mission games and really like that they are giving them some attention after all of this time.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I did, and it's awesome. Extremely faithful remake of the original, right down to its archaic menu system, which turns a lot of people off. Almost no QoL improvements - just a fresh coat of paint and a widescreen resolution. Personally, I loved it. But a lot of people wished it was more like modern SRPGs and easier.
EDIT: for example, no partial EXP for failure, no shared EXP between all units, having to restart a level completely on failure, no ability to attack then move (just move followed by attack, only in that order), different difficulty modes, etc. Stuff like that which has become a staple of the genre in modern times and is nowhere to be seen in this release.

indeed I have, I cant compare it to the original as with many western fans its my first time playing it as my first game was Front Mission 3 (the first released outside Japan and the EU never got the DS release either) all I can say is it feels like an old game, lots of grinding for stats (at least I did). The thing is... this one from the trailer graphically and animation wise looks a hell of alot better, which makes sense because both remakes are developed by different teams.
hence why 1st looks like
and 2nd looks like
the fluidity of 2 feels much closer from my admittedly rose tinted memories of 3, with the way the mechs move in combat etc rather than being quite static in the remake of 1. However its hard to judge considering how they are from different dev teams developed side by side.

I was excited about it, but the critical and user reviews have been very mediocre.

Well, Front Mission 1 is a SNES game. That's probably the biggest factor here.indeed I have, I cant compare it to the original as with many western fans its my first time playing it as my first game was Front Mission 3 (the first released outside Japan and the EU never got the DS release either) all I can say is it feels like an old game, lots of grinding for stats (at least I did).

Thats good to know. I didn't have any time to play the remake of 1 and hope to buy both around the same time.

With any luck! If so, I'm double dipping.

I somehow read the title as Metroid Prime 2 remake and got hyped as fuck for a second.
Fuck.
Fuck.
