This system allows those with the highest Agility stat value to act first, whether they be friend or foe. Whereas in a completely turn-based battle system, each character acts immediately after you enter a command, in the ATB system the delay between command and execution is determined by the characters Agility. When a characteris ready to act, he or she will begin flashing onscreen, and his/her name will appear in yellow. While allies select battle commands, time continues to elapse and enemies keep attacking, so beware. If you choose the “Active” option in the Configuration Menu, enemies will attack you even while you are selecting items or spells. Take Advantage of the ATB System Against monsters that transform like Mist D., you must time your attack properly to cause effective damage, When the monster transforms into mist, attacking is futile, so you should use that time to heal. When the monster reappears, resume attack! Hold off your attack. When the monster reappears, attack! BATTLE SYSTEM 19 BATTLE COMMANDS Aside from “Fight” and “Item,” each character has his or her own unique set of battle commands. FIGHT Use the Fight command to attack enemies physically. Select Fight, then select the character's target. If another party member defeats that target first, the character will automatically attack another enemy. Front Row vs. Back Row Physical attacks can deal more damage from the front row thanks to greater attack power and accuracy, but you take more damage in return. Likewise, you inflict less damage from the back row, but you also receive less damage. However, magic and projectile (Projec) weapons, like a bow, can cause equal damage from either front or rear. Enemies can also position themselves into two rows. Consider these facts when you set your battle formation. MAGIC To use magic, select a type of magic (e.g. black or white), the spell you wish to cast, and the target. When the command is executed, the character will begin chanting. The time it takes to cast the spell will vary depending on the spell. Meanwhile, the battle time, managed by the ATB, will continue to elapse. When the spell is cast, MP is consumed. You cannot cast a spell without enough MP.
