The Battle System

        The battle system is very similar to the first Final Fantasy games where the player can have up to four party members in battle at once rather than the three you could use in Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8. The old job system from the 2D Final Fantasy's remakes its appearance as well. Each character in your team have specific abilities  which only they can use.  For example, one of the main characters named Garnet is a White Mage meaning she is the only character that has the ability to heal  the party and summon powerful creatures to cause massive damage on enemies. When you are traveling on the world map you will randomly encounter monsters in which you can defeat for gil which is used as currency or experience points which when saved  can increase the overall stats of your character. The battles are turn based and the player is allowed to select an action when the green ATB bar at the bottom right of the screen fills up. ATB stands for active time battle which  makes the battles more fast pace.  After you give a command to a character to perform an action the ATB bar depletes and starts to refill again. The speed stat influences how fast the bar refills so the faster the speed of a character the more actions will be available during combat.
