Is Final Fantasy 7 a turn-based game?

No, the original Final Fantasy VII isn't strictly turn-based; it uses the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which blends real-time action with command selection, where characters act as their ATB gauges fill, allowing enemies to attack while you're choosing commands, unlike true turn-based games where turns are strictly sequential. The newer FF7 Remake series builds on this, offering a hybrid action-RPG system with a "Tactical Mode" that slows time for strategic menu choices, making it feel more like the original's pseudo-turn-based feel.
