FF10 has a conditional turn based system similar to trails. It’s also my favorite combat system…

I’m so hyped!! I wasn’t even thinking about ATB debuting here but it makes me excited.

In the games until now the only battle text we had was the “Preemptive strike/You …

My first introduction to Final Fantasy IV was actually through Dissidia, and I remember becoming quite curious about the characters as a result. Played about half of it on the GBA and enjoyed it, but dropped it because life won’t let me finish a game. Looking forward to joining this one!
