AMINE AND MANGA

The concept for Final Fantasy XIII's battle system is to maintain the strategic nature of command-based battles. The system stemmed from a desire to create battles similar to those found in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. Like those in Final Fantasy XII, enemies are integrated into the world environment, but by contrast, battles do not take place in the same field. Instead, there is a short transition and players are transported to a new battle screen, separate from the main playing world. The Active Time Battle (ATB) system returns, but works differently from its predecessors. Users are able to chain large numbers of commands together in order to achieve attack bonuses
