Battle System
Final Fantasy 12's battle system continues with the tradition of 3 party battles. Details of the are a little rough now but information regarding the system will be announced soon. Here is known information:
Useable black magic spells like fire and blizzard
Useable white magic spells like cure
3 person party battles
ATB (Active Time Battle)
On-field battles and in-field battles
The system will be some what symmetrical to that of Final Fantasy X-2's with improvements such as character positioning. There also seems to be some new features in the battle system. For example, the on-screen battle information shows 3 slots, or gem slots. Some form of gems will be used in battle probably for skills, strength, or possibly limit breaks? Also, we are now able to see the status of characters (sleep, poision, ect.) on the battle screen.
