Combat in the Final Fantasy series started with a simple menu-driven, turn-based battle system. Since Final Fantasy IV, the series has gradually introduced more real-time elements,[5] culminating in a full real-time system for Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XII.[33][34] The traditional, turn-based battle system was used in the first three games.
