Front Mission/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Front Mission 5 had some gems in its intermission dialogues. One of them has a scientist you can recruit explaining nuclear energy and its applications to an elite pilot, who simply did not get what he's going on about until we get this: "Umm...magic beams?"
  • Edward, being a clownish, Black Best Friend type, is the source of a few of these in 5:
    • When Walter is released from the hospital after nearly dying from wounds suffered while Taking the Bullet for Lynn, Ed has Lily Pho, one of the newer Strike Wyverns, attempt to cheer him up with Moe and Not Blood Related innuendo, then ask if you liked it. The responses are quite amusing:

Walter: Flat What.
Lily: "Damn that Edward! I knew he was setting me up! He's dead!"

Or:

Walter: "That made me very happy. Could you do it again?"
Lily: "...ew, so pervy."

    • Another instance is the start of the Cambodian base defense mission, where a high wall and long ramp provide the only access into the base... or so Edward thinks:

"Heh, this'll be a piece of cake!"

Enemy Wanzers jump over the walls using jetpacks, which are not available for players in this game.

"HEY! NO FAIR! THAT'S CHEATING!"

The look on Ed's face is what really sells it.
