The story of Front Mission 4 takes place 6 years after Front Mission 1st, which is the time between FM1 and FM2. There are two main characters in the game: Elsa and Darril.
Elsa is a French Wanzer army officer, a member of the Elite team ; and Darril is a 32 year old mercenary, an optimistic person, he was demoted from his position after an argument with his head. In the game you will play the missions from the perspective of the two characters.
No title With a shift from a more luck based skill system to a more realistic 'link' system, Front Mission 4 is a more convincing turn based strategy than its predecessor. The new system overall is a good change, but tends to force players to specific tactics to fully utilize it.
The usual things that makes this series great remains: captivating story, engaging battles and in-depth mecha customization. A first for the series is voice acting during the cutscenes which is well done.
Awesome!! Great game..perhaps the best strategy game on PS2.

Mecha! Mecha! Mecha! Pray to whatever gods you believe in, that Square-Enix imports this one to the US. The Front Mission series is the undisputed king of mecha strategy games, and this latest edition is no different. From mecha contraction, storyline, combat engine, and realistic (or as realistic as a 40ft mecha reality can get) political backdrop; this title oozes perfection. Take the side of the United States of the New Continent (imagine if the USA took over the North and South American continents; that’s about right) or the European Community (imagine if the EU actually worked in real life) and CRUSH SOME MECHA!!!
