Unlike the previous single player Final Fantasy games which used a turn-based system, battles in Final Fantasy XII occur in the open field; however, menus are still used to issue commands to the characters. Battles unfold in real time, using a new system called "Active Dimension Battle" (ADB), which allows the player to battle in the overworld instead of in a separate battle screen.

I really enjoyed this title because of the story, characters, and well designed fights with the possibility of having a real time fight, so exciting! Try to stand the first 8 hours of training, you'll love it in the next 90h!

Many things i have done in 100h of gameplay and still something i have to do, weapons to collect, armors to have, monsters to kill and abilities to unlock... Oh gosh i have the will to keep on playing right now!
