In Grandia, the lower right hand corner there is a bar that shows the turn order however it moves in real time. Whenever one of your party members' turn is up the action stops and you can take your time in deciding what action you want to take.

I believe it is a perfect blend of realtime/turn based combat.

How does that differ from the system FF X uses?

FFX if I remember correctly uses ATB (active time battle) where the battle continues while you struggle with the menu to find the exact potion or magic you want to use/cast.
