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. Another major draw of Front Mission is its use of giant mecha called 'wanzers' (from the German word Wanderpanzer, or walking tanks) in battle.ĭevelopment of the first Front Mission started with discussions between software developers Square and G-Craft. 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 achieved moderate success, selling over 3 million units worldwide up until January 2006. 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.
