Final fantasy 7 remake and rebirth's action ATB battle system is the best gameplay system the final fantasy series has ever came up with by far.

.....and yes, I've been playing the games since the first 1 on the NES and 4, mystic quest and 6 on the SNES.

(Only reason I pointed out that last part is because some "older" final fantasy fans absolutely refuse to accept that a fan of the series who are in their late 30s/early 40s and thus been around since the "golden age" (basically when the games was the most nostalgic for this group) can like and/or prefer some of the newer gameplay systems square-enix been coming up with, and that if someone does they must be some young gamer that just started playing the most recent games).

Actually I will go as far as to say the final fantasy series itself can be pretty overrated and that too many older fans just don't know when to let something go if they feel the games are not being made for them no more. Like every final fantasy related topic made where the TC is all like "yeah this new thing I don't like. Something something sales" is filled with 100s of posts of people complaining/arguing about the same thing and for whatever reason it just does not get old.
