About this game
Front Mission 5: Scars of the War is the fifth in Square's Front Mission tactical RPG series.
It brings the player back to a gritty futuristic world in which conflicts are waged between five world powers: the U.S.N., O.C.U., E.C., O.A.C., and the Republic of Zaftra.

Such conflicts are waged with the wanzer, Front Mission-speak for mecha.
Gameplay-wise, the game is a true return to Front Mission 2 roots while incorporating various features from Front Mission 1, 3, and 4.
The player takes part in turn-based missions, which pit their group of wanzers against enemy forces.
Old features that have returned include the ability to upgrade parts and mission branching.
New features to Front Mission 5 include friendly fire and the ability to recruit new pilots.
Unlike the previous games which were fairly standalone, Front Mission 5 covers the time period from 2070 to 2121.
In effect, it goes through conflicts seen in the previous games as the years pass by.
Through the eyes of U.S.N. soldier/officer Walter Feng, the player experiences his story as he deals with the aforementioned conflicts.
With the passing of time, he becomes witness to hidden truths and accounts.
Eventually, Feng is drawn to the on-going war on terrorism and begins to search for the truth.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Front Mission 5: Scars of the War for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Front Mission 5: Scars of the War to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.
