The original Front Mission for the SNES is being ported to the PlayStation.

Square Enix has revealed in the latest issue of Shonen Jump that it will be porting the original Front Mission to the Sony PlayStation as Front Mission 1st.

Front Mission was originally released on the Nintendo SNES in 1995. The simulation RPG is set in the year 2090, a time when two major world powers, the OCU (Oceana Community Union) and the USN (United States of New Continent), are in conflict. The player assumes the role of a member of the OCU named Lloyd and battles against the USN using bipedal mechs.

The PlayStation port of Front Mission will have an additional scenario for the USN side, as well as a new main character named Kevin Greenfield. The USN story begins after Kevin fails a mission as a commander and is reassigned to a special department that is in the middle of a top-secret project. Played in conjunction with the original OCU scenario, the new USN scenario will bring light to a number of new story elements in the game.

Yoshitaka Amano will provide the illustrations for Front Mission 1st. The game is scheduled for release in October in Japan.

Yup, I heard about this a few days ago.

After playing and really enjoying FM3 back when it came out, I started looking for info on the eariler games. About that time the ROM for FM1 was translated and so I played through that.

I doubt the re-release will come to the States, but Square DID just recently release Final Fantasy Orgins over here.....who knows?

Oh, FM 4 has been confirmed in the works for the PS2 also. :D

I picked up Final Fantasy Origins a couple weeks ago. What year did this come out, last year? The dates on the back of these PSX games don't seem to be accurate. They seem to not list the original release year, but the actual production year of the actual game you bought?
