Is FF4 not turn-based?

No, Final Fantasy IV (FF4) isn't strictly turn-based like its predecessors; it introduced the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, a hybrid that blends real-time elements with timed turns, where characters act when their gauge fills, allowing for faster, more dynamic combat than purely static turns. While still having distinct "turns," the ATB system means battles flow continuously, unlike the pure stop-and-start of older FF games.
