To be honest I kinda enjoyed back in the old days of FFI when it was even. All my guys get to attack once a turn, and all the enemies get to. Makes it an even battle ground really. Then at some point they started adding in this "Enemies attack whenever" I believe FFIV was the first to have that, where you can sit there and the enemy can keep attacking. Back in the old days I need not pause during battle, just didn't select to attack, and nothing would happen. HMMMM, I wonder if they made it "Active" battles for FFIII DS or kept it the classic NES style battles....
