Final Fantasy IV Battle System
Final Fantasy IV's battle system is the first to use the ATB (Active Time Battle) and even Summoning. It's also a big step from the manual selections from the last three Final Fantasies of the NES. Each party member has a hidden ATB (Active Time Bar). When the bar fills up, that character's turn is up. Some players get frustrated thinking that the system has a random or biased selection, but most do not know about the ATB. Each member has two options by default: Fight and Item. The other three options are dependant on the party member's skills (or sometimes there will be empty spaces if the party member does not have three unique skills).
