Mecha MMO

I just started (re)playing Front Mission 4. Anyway, I had a stellar idea: Why couldn't SqueEnix make this franchise into a massive multiplayer online game?

Just imagine it! Instead of tired old magic, swords, and medieval settings; instead of science-fiction superpowers, you could have tens of thousands of different kinds of Wanzer parts. There could theoretically be hundreds of thousands of different configurations. Literally. Every different player could have a different Wanzer from every other player: Your Wanzer could be yours truly, unique, with different stats and abilities. They could also have army PvP Wanzer battles on a huge map grid.

If SqueEnix can whore out mine Final Fantasy and turn it into a MMORPG, why couldn't they do it for Front Mission? There is already an established universe. The game play mechanics are complicated enough that it would satisfy even the most stat-hungry video game player.



Anyway, I am just musing. Even though I am cheap, I would pay to play that MMORPG.
