Question Who dislikes the ATB system?
hi. what do you people think about it?

as for me after I see the original systems in FF1-3, it made me think that square made a bad move for innovating ATB in the series for so long. it makes you worry about pushing buttons faster to avoid the enemies do more turns. And I find the active mode dumb. I actually dunno much about the X-2 one but I'm gonna say the best battle system goes to FFX. what's yours?

I love the ATB mode. Makes me think quickly. ATB just adds to the strategy for me in boss fights and I usually know what my next move is going to be so I am usually ready to select it. Probably the most fun battle system out of the series to me.

I think that if you don't like the ATB system, then you're playing the wrong series. Everyone knows that FF is renound for having the ATB battle system. I personally see it as more strategic and challenging than regular...hit and run hit and run back and forth attacking battles. =\

ATB means active time battle or active time bar or something.
It means the battle is run on a time bar based on your character's stats.

It's ok in it's certain specific FF games, but it wouldn't fit in with FFX and I'm glad they went to turn-based for it. ATB goes well with FFIX and all previous games, but the series is adapting. It's a great system, but doesn't fit every game.

I agree that FFX was perfect with the turn based system. X actually had one of my favorite ability and leveling systems in the series. It was relatively easy...not much strategy involoved, but it was still fun. =]
