<div class="IPBDescription">supposedly open beta but...</div> That's right, Square Enix has a lil MMO up their sleeves... a mecha one where you pilot giant walking machines of doom and fight FPS mechwarrior style and to make matters even cooler it's supposedly in open beta RIGHT NOW!!!
What's the catch? Why do I say supposedly? Because it's in japanese!!! ^^;

And I can't even read the language for this one!! YAR!
But there's a downside to it. Win98SE users will have to download a seperate program or so it says, because of some sound issues.
EDIT : Oooo look what you're enemies can be using <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> These are called Ghouls (actually I think the enemies are called Ghouls)

DOUBLE NINJA EDIT : I figured what that is. Battle Robot 'Ghoul'
But what's this about a Frontier Level System? I can't make out anything in it....
TRIPLE NINJA EDIT : BTW, there's a customization screen. And I have to say, it's really a bit bigger than the original Front Mission's customization section.
Robot types : Bipedal type, <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> type (most likely mobile type because the description says they are the most agile type), Many-legs types (can't come up with a better name) hover type (OMG!) and Tank types.
Customizable to be in small, medium or large size. Combat customization includes close-combat, long-range, and midrange types.
Can be mixed to form a 'Junk Variation' type. Sounds pretty damn sexy. Maybe except the word junk.
QUADRUPLE NINJA EDIT : Can't believe I'm editing ths much.
Essentially there are also at least 5 vision settings, essentially called Software Settings.
Vision and battle modes include :
- Standard (however on the site it says Standed)
- VISU (specialized for long ranged vision and LR combat I suppose)
- Neuron (specialized for close ranged combat. The site says it is rare and requires Aegis parts)
- Night vision (guess what it does)
- Stealth detection (creates noise when there are camouflaged robos nearby)
QUINDUPLE NINJA EDIT : OMG this much editing?! What am i FFS?!
More info on Ghouls. There are at least 3 common types you can encounter. And 8 rarer ones.
The three common types are :
- Hoppers (Specializes in jumping. Don't try to think it's useless though it's got an auto tracker gun, which makes it able to pick shots at yu when in midjump)
- Theatrical (Almost the same as a standard bipedal model. Comes with an Assault Rifle and Wristblade)
- Dullard (The one I pictured above. Most armored of the 3 and the most powerful I presume)
And there are around 8 more rarer types. However the website didn't give the names for them.
Front Mission 4 is due out on the PS2 very soon and should be quite fun although the people in it look a tad od..
While your waiting you could always play FM3 on the PSX, its old but still fun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As for this game just looking at the GFX makes my GF2 want to croke. I really need to upgrade lol
EIDT : I just hope Squaer-Enix US would actually catch on this project <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
amen.
That game roxorzed my boxorz, ponce, and soxorz so much that I dont play that with them on..
You mean P2p?
Unfortunately, yes it IS P2p, which I just found out a while ago <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If it has no PVP, it'll get old fast.
Call me an ****, but an MMORPG gets old fast if I can't become a PVP master and steal everyones hard-earned equipment. Actually...MMORPG's get old fast with that anyway.
Did I mention all MMORPG's suck?
Or maybe he just doesn't like MMORPG's. I love how everyone who is a "bad gamer" is automatically assumed to be a Counterstrike lover.
GJ.
Agreed, at the current rate of suckage increase after mechwarrior 4 (Mercs being the exception) a BattleTech mmorpg from microsoft would look something like <a href='http://www.game-revolution.com/games/pc/sim/survivor.htm' target='_blank'>THIS GARBAGE.</a>
Uhm, no he's not. That was far too deliberate. Troll is the word.
My japanese isn't good enough to even come close to reading the site, otherwise I'd be hauling rear onto the beta as we speak =3
To be honest I suspect the 'rpg' side is more about the fact you're the pilot and can walk about town when you're not out and about blatting stuff with your mech.
Either way I'm interested XD
Oh and according to some english site or other you have to find some of the rarer mech parts though it doesn't exactly say how =o
I got a small load of info in the front page. Of course, my japanese is a bit on the rusty side, so don't expect it to be 100% accurate.
CForrester : I doubt it would work with US PlayOnline. I tried to read through the registration steps, but the only word I could understand were 'Square-Enix' and 'Credit Card' <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
