These aren't the only things Front Mission is known for. Sadly, only a handful of titles made it outside of Japan - a whopping seven video games from the franchise still remain Japan-only. The genre spin-offs are easy to identify because they don't have a number attached to them, unlike these titles: Front Mission 2089, 2089-II, 1st, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Lastly, the second TPS title through Front Mission Evolved on the PlayStation 3, Xbox360, and PC. Front Mission: Online, the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game and the first third-person shooter (TPS) for the Play Station 2 and PC. Front Mission Alternative, a Playstation title that ventures into real-time strategy (RTS).
Front Mission: Gun Hazard, an SNES title with a Fan Translation that plays out like a side-scrolling shooter obviously sharing a game designer with Assault Suits Valken. The franchise is also well-known for experimenting and venturing into other genres.

So what makes it different from other mecha games? For starters, the action comes as Turn-Based Strategy (almost unheard of in mecha fandom upon the game's first release in 1995, save for Super Robot Wars) and applies real-world tactics as much as possible within the genre. Square Enix's flagship Humongous Mecha franchise, Front Mission throws players into various gritty Real Robot stories as conglomerate nations from Twenty Minutes Into the Future fight for supremacy with Wanzers (short for "Wanderpanzers" - loosely translated from German, "walking tanks"). PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.
Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
