Minor May Day Update
- May 7, 2012
We have made a minor update on our article on the overseas handling of Front Mission. Former Square Enix Co., Ltd. translator, Tom Slattery, confirms that an English localization of Front Mission: Online was indeed in the works. Why? Because he was working on it...

An Easter Surprise...
- April 8, 2012
Happy Easter, fans! We apologize for the lack of an update about our March Madness. The team was initially planning to release new items for all to see, but unforeseen circumstances put a halt to that.
That being said, we do have one of our items ready for all of you, and we feel that this is our best one. What would that be? An analysis of Front Mission as a transmedia! A 50-plus page monster several months in the making which was written by the whole team, this is the penultimate analysis of what Front Mission is truly all about. To all those who have wondered why Front Mission is so misunderstood, or why there is far more to Front Mission than just video games, this is for you! We won't spoil much more than this, so take some time and read it!
The analysis can also be found in the FrontMissionpedia section. Oh, and one last thing: we have also embedded a secret slideshow within one of the pictures in the analysis. Once you find it, be sure to click on the picture to activate the slideshow. Where is this picture? Well, here's a hint...look for a Play button icon within the picture!
Don't forget to read up our latest blog post! Our project manager has some words he would like to share with you all. :)

Front Mission Wanzer Equipment Spreadsheets Released!
- March 4, 2012
Hi all! We have a minor update to start off the March Madness - spreadsheets of wanzer equipment in Front Mission! Anyone who plays the Front Mission video games and needs a quick reference to wanzer part stats should all check this out. It covers everything but Front Mission: Gun Hazard (which has a very linear customization scheme), Front Mission 2089-II (which no one can play), and Front Mission: Online (which is already finished). The spreadsheets can also be found in the Downloads section.

Gun Hazard Universe "Behind The Scenes" And More!
- February 28, 2012
Hey everyone! The team has some new goodies for all of you to feast on.
First, we have updated information on the Gun Hazard Radio Drama Series that we forgot to add when it was uploaded. Aside from new details on its conception, each episode's illustrations have been changed accordingly. Now everyone can see some beautiful Yoshitaka Amano artwork for the radio drama series' cast that was never released anywhere!
Continuing on with the Gun Hazard expanded universe, we are pleased to present you with "behind the scenes" insights of the Gun Hazard film! Thanks largely to our translation lead, who was in Japan earlier this year, we were able to secure very rare data about the film from some...special sources. Read all about the details of a major filming location in the USA, the Westernized elements of the film, and its Westernized filming crew with credentials that include Terminator 2!
Also, check out our newest article on the "Engrish" advertisements of Front Mission! It's pretty neat looking at how Westernized even the marketing was for Front Mission, in Japan no less, in retrospect. Some of the "Engrish" could actually pass for fluent English, while other blurbs are not so fluent. Anyways, check it out!
Lastly, we have a new character collage showcasing 50 Faces of Front Mission! It's 50 recurring faces from the Front Mission video games, arranged in a nice timeline-styled fashion. We would have included the expanded universe media too, but then that number would be well over 100!
The updated Gun Hazard Radio Drama Series, Gun Hazard "Behind the Scenes" Film and 50 Faces of Front Mission can also be found in the Downloads section, just for your information. Oh, and don't forget to read our newest blog post for some more nifty details!

We are proud to announce that as of today, this expanded universe project has been finished!

On a side note, we are also proud to say that we have cracked the 600,000 visitors barrier since the new year began! Thanks for your continued support of our projects and be sure to check out our project blog for future blog posts on anything Front Mission!

Four Years Later...
- December 17, 2011
Today marks the four-year anniversary of the Front Mission: Series Translation Project!
As for what's been going on in the past few months, I strongly advise you to read this new blog entry. Speaking as a member from the original team ("new management" has been fired from their jobs), I think this will answer any questions you have about the project's status. So drop whatever conspiracy theory you may have and read it!
