Eastasiasoft has released new screenshots and details for the upcoming fantasy role-playing game Rainbow Skies, introducing the game’s battle system and skills.

• Simplified Move & AttackIn Rainbow Skies, move & attack commands no longer need to be selected from the battle menu. Simply push the directional buttons into the designated direction and your character immediately walks (free field) or attacks (occupied field).
• Damage Prediction & AffinityA new damage prediction UI helps to determine roughly how effective your attack will be and shows your weapon affinity status in comparison to your enemy.
• New Battle MenuA new battle menu pops in if you would like to execute one of the less frequently used commands, such as using items or escaping from battle.
• Skill XP Progress UIAfter executing a skill, the skill XP increases and the current progress and level is shown on screen. Skills can level up and new skills can be unlocked through continuous use.
• Item Reward RequesterWhen picking up loot, the new item reward requester contains additional item information. It also allows you to learn new books and skills without closing the requester.
• Turn Order LookupUp to 20 turns can be looked up in extended turn order display mode. Turn orders are also immediately refreshed if the speed attribute of a unit changes during the battle.
• SkillsThere will be more than 200 skills.

Rainbow Skies will be released for the PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 in North America and Europe in 2016.
