All good things must come to an end.<\/p>\n
On July 4, 2012, Otagaki announced on his twitter account that Front Mission Dog Life & Dog Style<\/strong> will finally end after 5 years of circulation in Young Gangan. Otagaki-san also noted that with pretty much the whole Front Mission<\/strong> team gone from Square Enix, this will also likely be the end of Front Mission…for good<\/strong>. As one of the writers who helped make Front Mission<\/strong> what it is, Otagaki-san also talked a bit about how he’s both happy and sad to be the one who will close out Front Mission<\/strong>. Given the recent news reported by gaming media on Square Enix’s struggles with their gaming division, he may be right on this being the definitive end of Front Mission<\/strong>. The writer revealed that Front Mission Dog Life & Dog Style<\/strong> will be ending sometime this fall (likely in October), so the series will end with a tenth omnibus volume to be released either by the end of this year or in early 2013. While there technically will still be Front Mission<\/strong> releases in the form of the Korean and French Front Mission Dog Life & Dog Style<\/strong>, there likely won’t be any more new content straight from Japan.<\/p>\n As a refresher for everyone, here is a list of products which were released since Toshiro Tsuchida and his developers achieved their original goal with Front Mission. <\/strong>As a reminder, their original goal was the completion of Front Mission 5 ~Scars of the War~<\/strong> (although Front Mission 2089-II<\/strong> was released afterwards, it is not counted here as it was in development alongside that entry):<\/p>\n Some of these products did find their way outside of Japan, like the aforementioned Front Mission Dog Life & Dog Style<\/strong> Korean and French editions and Front Mission<\/strong> First. <\/strong>Unfortunately, the rest of them remained in Japan only.<\/p>\n So, with that said, what are your thoughts on all of this?<\/p>\n\n
