    I just picked up Final Fantasy Chronicles for Playstation 1, which has FF IV and Chrono Trigger. I prefer wait mode to active mode. So please don't say "just play active mode instead."

    My combat is in wait mode. It doesn't seem like wait mode is working. From what I understand, when it's your turn it is your turn. The enemy can't attack. If your battle gauge fills up first, you go first, even if you sit there for an hour the enemy won't attack. However, the enemies are attacking me. My gauge fills up and the dudes are attacking me. It is totally set to "wait."

    Does wait not work like other games? Or is my game fucked up? Or am I retarded?

    Sounds to me like you set it to active mode by mistake.

    They won't attack while you're choosing what skill/item to use. It doesn't make the game turn-based.

    This is the truth. Wait Mode only pauses actions while in the Tech and Item menus.

    Yup....it's been answered, but I'll say it again anyways because I'm bored. It only waits when you have the item or tech menus open.

    I think Ryan and Patrick may have misrepresented what Wait mode actually means (probably from not understanding it themselves). All of the Square games that have the ATB system use Wait mode in this way. Except maybe 12 and 13.
