Types of Front Mission Games © Photo by Square Enix Storeįront Mission games have two main types, namely, Non-Numbered and Numbered. Similar to how expanded universal material handled serial dramas, all media platforms worked together to publicize the entire storyline. Some of the media platforms included radios, films, and books. As Tsuchida wasn’t satisfied with introducing the video game through stories, he made an effort to ask different media platforms to publicize Front Mission. In 1994, he created Front Mission.Īlthough it took a year to formally release Front Mission on Super Famicom in 1995, Tsuchida and his team of writers started plotting out the game series slowly but surely by pieces. Heavily influenced by vintage games like Rashomon, Full Metal Jacket, and Ghost in the Shell, as well as the real world itself, Tsuchida made a more realistic approach to the future of the world. This led him to create G-Craft, the first company behind his most ambitious project – the Front Mission game series. Eventually, he started his own venture after resigning from his current company. The beginning stages of his career started with Masaya, and he had produced well-known classics, such as Langrisser, and Assaults Suits Valken.

Toshiro Tsuchida is a visionary and the mastermind behind the development of the Front Mission series except for Front Mission Evolved.
