AFAIK Ilinx and Silicon Studio isn't a Square Enix branch.

* {{Sequelitis}}: More like Spinoffitis. To the point that those who played both ''Front Mission: Evolved'' and this would consider ''Evolved'' far better despite its divisive GenreShift, due to not only how this game seems to be terrible in many aspects, from writing to gameplay mechanics, but also user-hostile (as opposed to user-friendly). This is especially egregious considering that the selling point of this game, at least for Japanese players, is the fact this game was developed in-house by Square Enix in Japan, rather than being outsourced to a western studio like in the case of ''Evolved''.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Zigzagged. After the game's release, an easier difficulty mode was released that fundamentally makes enemies less spongy and makes the game less utterly punishing. The problem is that it only lightly mitigates the problems as a band-aid on top of a gaping wound, rather than fixing them, so all the issues still exist but with a reduction in the sheer frustration involved and less repeat playthroughs needed.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The entire premise of giving a pedestrian's view of trying to navigate and survive in the middle of a battlefield dominated by HumongousMecha could lead to all sorts of awesome and fresh stealth gameplay. Sadly, this game makes very little use of that. The levels take place not during large-scale battles, but in recently occupied territories were the enemies calmly patrolling around. The Wanzers themselves mainly just stand in place and cause an InstantKill on the player if spotted.
