Here's the first developer diary for
Front Mission Evolved which covers some of the online parts of the game, Wanzer customization, and more importantly why they made the switch to real time action game and how that's impacted game play. It's a fairly interesting piece and shows off lots of new gameplay footage which is probably going to alienate some of the game's strategy fanbase. The footage doesn't look bad though and let's be honest, piloting giant robots is almost always fun.
