Gem of a tactics game on PSX that I can wholeheartedly recommend as an entry to the series, or as a standalone tactics experience. This was the game that got me interested in Front Mission and its storylines full of conspiracy, political intrigue, and war crimes. Combat, skills, story progression, and writing are all good, though combat encourages cheesing the eject/capture mechanic which is not prevalent in other Front Mission games. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but FM3 is definitely the black sheep of the series. I will definitely be playing the Switch remake, as well as the FM3 Reload romhack when it's fully released.
