This is the best rpg game forever for me
it is called so Front Mission 4
ok now let start i show you all
Front Mission 4 FAQ part 1
Front Mission, ah, good, old Front Mission. Finally it is back in it's fourth
Installment.
This is only my second Walkthrough, so bear with me. You might also want to
overlook any orthographical or grammatical errors I make, as English is not my
first language. If you find any mistakes of such a kind you are free to keep
them. If there should be a mistake or oversight in the FAQ however you might
want to contact me, although I would like to ask everyone to wait until I have
completed v 1.0, as anything up til then is a work in progress.
I do hope that the information herein is of a helpful nature to those who do
peruse it. I also don't mind anyone copying the information presented here, if
they ask me to do so and if they state the source of their information. I am
sure you will be able to do this, as you too wouldn't like someone leeching
off of any work you did, without them giving at least proper credit.
You can contact me under ' Deathbrng aol.com '.
Please state in the subject something like "Front Mission 4 FAQ", because
otherwise the mail might get deleted unread.
??. Characters [CHARS]
Naturally you can find a small description of most of the characters you will
play or meet in FM4. I tried to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but as I
too am human I might have not been able to do so in one or two places.
---------------------------------------_
a) Player Characters - Durandal [CH-DU]
---------------------------------------_
a.1) Elsa | Callsign: Arrow 6 - Joins on Stage --
A French woman and former member of the French Army. As Wanzer battle is
still a bit new in 2096, she was assigned to the Durandal Armor Tactics
Research Corps, to help develop tactics for Wanzer battles. She is one of
the main characters, from whose perspective the story is told.
Her standard skills are mainly for combat with medium ranged weapons (e.g.
MG). She also will have a fairly high speed and a good evasion rate. If
this is paired up with the right Wanzer the damage she does can be
maximized while she herself will not take as much damage. Her available
skills slots will allow her to take a good range of different skills,
while her Link Point value will allow her to make good use of her mates.

a.2) Zead | Callsign: Father 1 -- Joins in Stage 00
A British and a former soldier in the British Army, in which he served
for 24 years. He is a strong and motivating force in the Durandal, en-
couraging everyone to do their best.
His Battle skills focus mainly on long range combat with missiles and
Melee as backup should his ammo run out. As a Missileer type he will
gain more AP than the other characters of the Durandal, but he also
needs this if he wants to stay mobile and use missiles at the same
time. If an enemy presses on him he will retaliate with his fists
(or rods, or pilebunkers, or shields). His skill slots and his link
points will suffer, though and this can only be remidied by buying
expensive computers and doing lot of simulator battles to gain the EP
needed to buy those upgrades.

a.3) Hermes | Callsign: Arrow 2 - Joins on Stage 01
A young and very good hacker, who has also an interest in Wanzers. A
citizen of the USN (UCS). He feels lucky that he was able to join up with
the Durandal Research corps, as this enables him to be around military
Wanzers, even though he is basically only a civilian.
He is quite capable to take care of his own, and he also serves as "Combat
Medic" for his squad-mates. He will gain a lot of skills, which are mainly
meant for his supporting abilities. Only few direct Combat Skills are
learned, but he has one of the highest number of Skill Slots available in
the end.

a.4) Latona | Callsign: Arrow 4
A former member of the Zaftran (former Russia) Army and the other
female in the ranks of the Durandal. She is an experienced Wanzer pilot.
She seems a bit strange and cold, because of her masculine behaviour, but
she is loyal to her unit.
Her role in the Durandal is that of the close in fighter and jammer. She
is it who shuts down Wanzer that get to dangerous. If someone gets too
close she will give them a good beating with her melee weapons. Some of
her enemies where heard screaming "Please stop, mom, I will be a good boy
from now on."
