Which do you prefer? I was never a fan of ATB, mainly because something always comes up and I dont always have time to pause, also I like to be able to look for items instead of being pounded while doing so. I liked FFX's battle system: you got to see how long of a recovery time it took for some spells/actions/etc.

Also I heard something about FFXII and Square not using one of the battle systems anymore. Is this true?
