Well, Hello There!

I had one question about this game, the questions is the following:

When Fighting, do you Take Turns? you know...like you attack then wait for the enemy to do his move and then you can attack again? Because I don't like that and I was watching some videos in which it seemed like you can attack whenever you want without taking turns.

Thanks in advance and sorry to bother.

Its turned based but not....

You walk around while in "fight mode"

You dont have to wait for your enemy to take its turn but its like vii cuz there is a bar that has to fill up before attacking again.

See the "action" bar. You have to wait for it to fill up before attacking again.

Yeah. at some points its annoying and at some points its pretty cool. Same for turn-based.

But I find it odd that Telekenesis takes awhile to fill up. but don't worry, it will get faster by getting certain Augments

your wepon attacks and majic spells take a small amount of time to charch up and then you can attack. your enemies attacks, majics, and techniquies work on a similair system. at the start of the game this can slow down battle a bunch but further in you get faster more powerful weapons and you can use magic to speed up your party.

Meh...I was expecting something else...waiting for the bar to charge is better than waiting for your turn...but still seems odd.

lol "we are getting beat up!, Attack!" "No we can't, is not our turn yet" assafdfdI hate turn-based games xD

This is actually more like an MMO battle system. Final Fantasy will never be 100% real-time... that's what Kingdom Hearts is for.

you dont take turns , your gauge has to fill up for you to attack again but how fast it fills is dependent on the weapon you have equiped therefore you do not have to wait for your oppnent if you are faster than him

Its definately a good game. The story is very long. But if you are looking for a real time i would check out the "TALES" franchise or Star Ocean (I haven't played Star Ocean but I am prettysure its real time)

Well, there are no turns, but the battle system are not like you keep pushing the button, you attack, you still will have to wait before you attack again. The battle system is like any other RPG.

Kingdom Hearts is AMAZING. D: If you like Disney characters and stuff, and fighting side by side with Donald and Goofy!

If you think that's kiddy and whatnot, then you might not enjoy it.
