Square Enix has released new details regarding its upcoming PlayStation 2 title Front Mission 4. The mission-based game will award so-called EP (experience points) for every victorious battle. EPs can be used for either skills or abilities. Skills have to be equipped to show any effect and then can be unleashed at will. However, the execution of those battle skills is not a given, as the development team has implemented a fixed probability at which a skill will be executed. This in turn is compensated by the fact that you can prepare three different types of skills at once.

Front Mission 4 will be available in Japan on December 18th for 6,800 yen ($62.59 USD).
