I think that it would be far better to have it pause while you find what attack you are gonna use. If anyone figured out a way for this to work then it would, in my opinion, vastly improve most rpgs.

Isn't there an option in "Game bitsets" that does this very thing? I've never used it, but I think it's called "Turn-based". Doesn't that mean it's sort of like chess, where one gets to decide their move before the enemy can decide their's? Maybe I was mislead on this as a young child like everything else.

If there is then I'm yet to discover it.
Another idea I had was that you could choose what attack you use while the ready meter is loading, then when it's full your hero uses that attack.

I personally prefer a turn based battles over ATB. RPGs are thinking games, and are supposed to be thought provoking. I don't want to have to suddenly start twitching through simple menus because some idiot thought that RPGs are like Vectorman.

btw, I think that the thing that makes you attack a diferent enemy if the one that was targeted was killed. THere could be an option to use some other attack instead or something (ex: defend)
