New Management And A New Patch!
- June 30, 2011
Hello everyone! The Front Mission: Series Translation Project has been undergoing internal changes over the past few months. And ones that mean the original founders of the project won't be very active in the future...but they'll still keep this site up and running! Things will just be handled by new management, that's all. :)
And with that, they have left a parting gift for you to enjoy - a brand new patch for Front Mission 2! Well, it's not quite the official release of the second prototype patch...and you won't be able to use it with an original version of Front Mission 2 either! So for a limited time only, say a month or so, you can try out this new patch and see the kind of progress being made!

We have a few new items up in the Downloads section. Namely, a few fan-submitted wallpapers for Front Mission 2 (thanks to a certain "sj420" fan) and Front Mission Alternative packaging created by the team. Check them out!

Thanks to lady luck and some real hard searching, our team acquired some extremely rare Front Mission items. Namely, two in-store promotion VHS products which contained alpha (otherwise known as pre-beta) versions of Front Mission and Front Mission: Gun Hazard. Trailers of the alpha versions can be viewed in the Featured Videos section, so check it out!

After 6 years of successful service, the Front Mission Mobile project is now officially over. It was a unique experiment that was well received by the Japanese audience, as Front Mission 2089 went on to get remake treatment in the form of Front Mission 2089: Border of Madness. Front Mission 2089-II, unfortunately, will remain Japan-only...here's hoping it also gets remake treatment!
Also, please remind your Front Mission friends to watch the video series and speak up on Front Mission matters at the Mess Hall! The sooner Peacemaker can reach 200 or more views, the sooner we can release Homeland...and some other Front Mission details!

All Front Mission fans are welcome to talk about anything Front Mission-related at the Mess Hall! This new page on our project blog was a response to the people wondering where they can talk about Front Mission matters on the web. We don't have any plans to set up a forum, so stand up and say whatever's on your mind about Front Mission at the Mess Hall!

We are pushing back the release of Homeland until the end of February. Hopefully this will give all of you a chance to check out the first 6 episodes of the video series, and please...SPREAD THE WORD OUT TO ANY FRONT MISSION FAN YOU KNOW!
In other news, the team has finished writing an analysis of the overseas handling of the Front Mission franchise. If you've ever wondered why Front Mission was largely neglected, want to know the extent of how poorly Square has treated the franchise, or why Front Mission 5: Scars of the War was never localized, we highly recommend that you read this article. You can also access the article from our FrontMissionpedia section. You'll be in for a shocker, so read away!

Some minor updates for today. On the Front Mission 2 project, we will release a second prototype patch. Based on the feedback we've received, our team has decided to further test the data conversion on the original and the History/Ultimate Hits versions. This would be the equivalent of our Revised Patch 3 from our Front Mission 5 work.
Also, we're going to push back the release date of the fifth episode, Orphans of War, to January 31, 2011. We were expecting to see good numbers on the videos' views, but so far, it's not up to what we were expecting. So, we'll give you all a chance to catch up and spread word about the Front Mission video series!

We've added a new page that has a synopsis for Season One and profiles of the season's main characters. As new episodes are released, new characters will be added, and more details about the characters will be revealed! You'll be seeing this for future seasons as well, so we hope you're ready to dive further into the Front Mission universe!

Happy New Years! Front Mission officially turns 17 years old as of today! We sadly couldn't resolve the Front Mission 2 programming issues in time for a last minute 2010 release, so the date has been pushed to this year. Rest assured, these issues are being ironed out so the team can release the English patch in due time. In other news, we've released a new blog posting with some nifty statistics on the Front Mission franchise. Also, we'll be posting the preview for Episode 2 - Walking Armor so stay tuned for more details!
