The truth is, that was what I was planning on doing before I got the game. I realized that the only practical way to do that would be to play on Active, as Wait would waste too much time, pausing the battle for every action. However, bringing up the menu on Active lags up the game, and I found that it would be a waste anyway to select a command when the character was going to do that anyway.

So, yes, the game gave me the option not to play it the way it was designed, but doing so wasn't a viable option either.
I'm not even going to bother arguing it except to say that most people I know (myself included) never have Gambits turned on for at least one character, leave it on wait, and have an extraordinarily fun time with this battle system. Just because you haven't given actually playing the game a solid go isn't the games fault.
