New Details About Final Fantasy XIII's ATB System Surface

(Posted: 19/03/2009) by Ronin90


A new scan has surfaced from Japan which features information about Final Fantasy XIII's Active Time Battle (ATB) system. It was previously disclosed that this system would feature in the game, but no concrete details were ever announced prior to now.



It appears as though the player will be able to put together a unlimited amount of moves. These can be chained together and assuming they tie together and this will result in an attack bonus. However, the moves can also broken with the help of a pre-separator. This can be useful to help and improve a chain of commands.

Hopefully more concrete information will be announced soon.

Innovation? Calling it chaining instead of making combos is hardly innovative...

Sounds like a FF12 battle system with the control and speed of FF X-2.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Agreed.

 

But if this battle system is anything like Chrono triggers I will be one happy gamer. or if it anything like FFXII I will be one really really sad gamers.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
