Probably my biggest apprehension going forwards. I really like having time to sit and think about my actions, hate feeling rushed. But Wait Mode sounds like it mostly alleviates those concerns. I don’t mind a more dynamic turn order system, I quite like how it’s handled in the Trails series (where i…

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.

I think we have a little above 4k characters for the first week, counting all optional NPC dialogue. It’s a bit difficult to estimate the play time, it obviously depends heavily on reading speed an willingness to trigger optional dialogue. I’ll say maybe 1 to 1.5h for an intermediate reader? [i…
