I never write any FAQ and never intend to, but since I believe that this skills list might become handy to some of you, I decided to write it. My English is not that good, so I apologize if this FAQ have many grammatical error. Anyway, I posted similar battle skills on FM4 board but in order to preserve it, I decide to post a FAQ instead of letting people bumped the topic, so people can now have easy access to this list. I got this skill list from a Chinese website, translated, modified and checked it according to my knowledge and people contribution over the FM-4 board. Thus, I presented you the easier Skills List to read and contains relevant information in it. However, I do make some mistakes and it is your chance to help me and fellow gamers by making corrections to this FAQ. I tried my best to update this FAQ, but since I'm a full time students, I can't update this FAQ as often as you want me to do. I apologize for that. Please keep in mind that my e-mail address up there is not my primary e-mail address since I'm tired of receiving junk mail. So if you didn't get my reply, please do not re-send your mail within 2 - 3 days. As the matter of fact, I often reading the board than checking this e-mail account. So it would be best if we can communicate on the board than thru emails. Anyway, it doesn't mean I will not check my e-mail. So if you have something to add for this FAQ, please send me an email with the subject (FM4 or something like that) and put your name and email address for proper credit. All suggestion are subject to verification. Please do not send advertisements to my email. Okay, enough for the chit-chat and enjoy the skills list :) * BASED ON JAPANESE VERSION OF FM-4. ** Question mark " ? " means I'm not sure about this. *** Not sorted but grouped in series manner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SKILL NAME --- DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anti-Skill --- Prevent enemies to use their skills when they do link attack.
