Is ATB Dead?

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm not fond of the direction battle systems are going either with modern games. I quit playing action games predominately for RPGs and its seems ironic that the turn base system has evolved into an action game.

Actually, the direction Battle systems are going for is the typically MMORPG-influenced not Action (e.g. Lots of grinding/farming, collecting junk of this and that then put them on sell).

While its true its more of an MMO style, there is also the Tales franchise, and I'm not really fond of the action gameplay of that either.
