Chrono Trigger - Real Time or Turn Based

[Computer5k]

Ive been thinking about this for a while now. Is the battle system in CHrono Trigger Real Time or Turn-Based.
This is only for people who played it cuz its hard to explain.

EDIT: forgot poll. o well... just post what you think

Uhmm.. pretty sure you can set it either way in the options.. Square's had the option for Turn-Based or Active for a long while

Either way, I believe it's Active (Real Time) by default

Chrono Trigger was real time.

Thats what I thought. But it feels kinda turn based with how it works.

Well, if you use each character right when you get the chance it'll feel turn based I suppose, that's how it feels in FF7 with ATB on

Its ATB.. basicly means that theres a timer for when you have your turn, and the thing your fighting has its turn too, so its a mix of both, its more turn based then it is real time. Any rpg fan should know this

ATB: Active Time Battle.

Simply put, not turned based (unless you choose the "Wait" option). But it's not real time either...

BTW, everyone should steer clear of Chrono Cross. You've been warned.

Chrono Cross is retarded, gives CT a bad name >_>
