Front Mission/Trivia


 * No Export for You - 5 was considered by nearly every series fan as THE best installment in the series. Naturally, for no discernable reason, it didn't make it out of Japan, although the fact that it's so heavily reliant on the player knowing what happened in the previous titles could have played a major role. Who wants to play a game where at best you only know half of the story? At worst, you might feel like you're just a bystander in the larger scheme of things until the last quarter of the game.
 * Also applies to the original Front Mission, Gun Hazard, 2, Alternative, 1st for the Play Station, 2089, Online, 5, 2089-II, and 2089: Border of Madness. And the rest of the expanded universe media too.
 * Ironically, the series creator strongly believed Front Mission could be successful overseas, and tailored each Front Mission game to be as easy to adapt to English as possible... but finally gave up with 5.
 * Sequel First: 3 was the series debut outside of Japan.
