non-active character ATB

[Nattrav]

why do they ATB gauges for non-active characters fill so much slower than the first game? & I know it fills faster if I switch to them but I don't particularly like switching every two seconds.

Probably because they want you attacking with your party before using abilities.

Idk but it sucks and can be modded

Use sync attacks.

its kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but ultimately they balanced around your companions doing very little aside from being tools for you to use, even with their auto-thing materia.

You probably used steadfast block materia in Remake.

Classic Combat

Give them steadfast block materia for the atb fill. The AI is also pretty good with the parry materia, they do perfect parrys pretty often.

You should switch during animations or when you need something.

Because they are forcing you to utilize and be familiar with every member of your party - did you skip Remake? Lol not really an issue.

Combat in these games is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible. Not being able to use abilities, magic or items half of the time due to the terrible ATB rates. And no, I don't want to have to take up multiple materia slots just to make it feel bearable. Most of the time you're forced to wadte them on recovery anyway.

MP doesn't last more than 3 spells so why should it also consume ATB? Most items are useless so why do they also take up ATB? Sure make it so you have to have an ATB bar full to cast and use items but it shouldn't use the bar. It makes the combat feel so slow.

Thank ♥♥♥♥ for mods. ATB rates up, teammate combat rates up and increase enemy HP a ton. The game feels loads better that way. More action and enemies take longer to defeat.

All of the materia for ATB rates, Magic cost and item use, as well as teammate auto-abilities are so lame. Absolutely nothing like the OG.
