Story:Front Mission 5: Scars of the War is the fifth in Square's Front Mission tactical RPG series. It brings the player back to a gritty futuristic world in which conflicts are waged between five world powers: the U.S.N., O.C.U., E.C., O.A.C., and the Republic of Zaftra. Such conflicts are waged with the wanzer, Front Mission-speak for mecha. Gameplay-wise, the game is a true return to Front Mission 2 roots while incorporating various features from Front Mission 1, 3, and 4. The player takes part in turn-based missions, which pit their group of wanzers against enemy forces. Old features that have returned include the ability to upgrade parts and mission branching. New features to Front Mission 5 include friendly fire and the ability to recruit new pilots.Show more

This never got a proper release outside of Japan. While the fan translation made it accessible, there were so many hoops to jump through just so you can play it.

The whole Front Mission series (at least numbered entries) deserve a release for PC with proper translations. 5 is a perfect culmination of the series, going back to events seen in the other entries and sort of flushing out the world. For many of us, the remastered of 1,2 and 3 are not really making a good job of modernizing them.
