Games įurther information: List of Front Mission media Release timeline 1995 In an RPGamer interview with Front Mission developer Koichi Sakamoto in 2007, he suggested that the development team is interested in combining real-time and turn-based aspects for future installments. Front Mission Evolved is a third-person shooter video game with rail shooter segments. Front Mission: Online is a massively multiplayer online third-person shooter video game. Front Mission Alternative is a real-time strategy video game. Front Mission: Gun Hazard is a side-scrolling shooter video game. Each of the five spin-off entries are classified under different genres. All other Front Mission titles that do not have a number assigned to it are genre spin-offs. The numbered Front Mission titles are all structured as tactical role-playing games. There are two types of Front Mission installments: the numbered entries and the non-numbered entries. They finally agreed to make the game because they thought working in a new genre would be stimulating and it was a title they probably could not do themselves as to that point Square had mostly made fantasy games. Square was the only publisher at the time willing to consider Tsuchidas’ proposal. Tsuchida also had difficulty explaining how much of a role robots would have in the proposed game, and so he obtained some development hardware to create a prototype of the title. Square was not enthusiastic, repeatedly telling Tsuchida “no robots”, and being told by Square that game development couldn't just be driven by a creators passion anymore. When Square producer Shinji Hashimoto first saw the first version of the game proposal, he thought it was “too radical” and usually such proposals would not be approved. Game producer and writer Toshiro Tsuchida presented a proposal for a game called “100 Mission” to Square through his own development company, Solid, on G-Crafts behalf. Square had never had another developer make a game for them and planning proceeded slowly, but an agreement between the two was finished in the Fall of 1993.

In combination with the stories from its other media, the series possesses a level of storytelling depth and continuity comparable to a serial drama. Although the Front Mission video games use self-contained, standalone stories, these tie into a greater overarching storyline that encompasses the entire series. Taking place during the 21st and 22nd centuries, the series revolves around military conflicts and political tension between powerful supranational unions and their member states. The main selling point of Front Mission is its storytelling approach. The Front Mission video games have achieved moderate success, selling over 3 million units worldwide since the release of Front Mission 5: Scars of the War. While the series is primarily rooted in the turn-based tactical role-playing genre, it has also ventured into other genres such as side-scrolling shooter, real-time strategy (RTS), massive multiplayer online (MMO), and third-person shooter through its spin-offs. Since the release of the original Front Mission in 1995, the series has gone on to encompass several media, including film, manga, novels, radio dramas, mobile phone applications, and toys. The series was created by Toshiro Tsuchida and developed by G-Craft, a studio that was later absorbed by Square and existed within Square Enix as Product Development Division-6.
