This will be my fourth playthrough, mainly because I wanted to play it again AND I need to get Alisa's storyline now in my pics, since I hadn't played that route since 2019 and I got rid of all my pre-analog-shader screencaps lol.
So! Time for a route I remember having higher highs and lower lows than Emma's route. Mostly my memory is: I like the story and side characters a bit more, but Kazuki is FAR more annoying on Alisa's route.
You know what square really excelled at? Speciflc observation but just like, the effects work, both 2D and 3D on things like spells in Final Fantasy games (especially 8 and 9), Brave Fencer Musashi, Threads of Fate, Vagrant Story, and then here in Front Mission on the various smoke, explosions, electricity, and other weapon effects. They just are so much more impressive looking as effects to me than things that would come later on other consoles.
Just to show the effects in motion. Just. Oughaaaaaaaaaaaa they are so good and crunchy feeling...
Also good in this game are the skyboxes? Just very pretty ones throughout.
Pile Bunker time baby!!!
