Actually, you can turn off Gambits for the entire party in FFXII. Ito left the option in the game for you to still play the game manually.

Yeah, but even with the gambits turned off didn't it essentially come down to selecting a command that was then automated over and over as the guage filled up while you controlled little more than your position in battle.

No.

If you turn Gambits off you go manual, full stop.
