The latest set of screens from the DS RPG highlight the customization of the battle menu. Players can assign six abilities and/or magic spells to spaces on the menu, each of which bears a cost in action points. The screens also feature the new "gem" system, in which monsters occasionally drop gems that can either be sold or placed into a crown shape, which, when filled, grants a new ability.
Finally, Square Enix released some monster art, which is fantastic. Seen here: "Jack Lantern,"

So, the battle system sounds sort of like Pokémon, in that you only have a limited set of moves you can use in battle, right? But in Hikari no 4 Senshi, can you easily change that set of moves outside of battle (unlike in Pokémon)?
Also I'm absolutely loving the graphics style of this game. It's truly beautiful.
The artwork is reminding me of classic Zelda games, too, for some reason. Very very good stuff. Very fanciful.
