Front Mission 1st: Remake Version 1.0.3 arrives to fix some of the issues

The recently released Front Mission 1st Remake has thankfully been updated today to Version 1.0.3 by the team at Forever Entertainment. The game wasn’t up to scratch at launch, so hopefully these new additions and fixes should go some way to fixing that. It is a little worrying that some of Forever Entertainment’s recent releases such as Panzer Dragoon Remake and House of the Dead Remake on Switch have need fixing after the games have launched. Anyway, the Front Mission 1st Remake Version 1.0.3 rolls out on the Nintendo Switch today.

• Statistics comparison before combat
• Alternate route seeking by the AI when the target cell is occupied by an ally (only in Modern Mode)

• Save panel after the campaign is completed (no autosave deletion)
• Death animation on the arena when BODY is destroyed
