Conditional Turn-Based Battle System

The Conditional Turn-Based Battle System (CTB for short) is a combat battle system, primarily used in some games in the Final Fantasy series of computer role-playing games. In battle, the speed and frequency of a character's action turn is calculated based on certain statistical conditions. In Final Fantasy X, the order of movement is then displayed on the right-hand side of the screen. In Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, the order is displayed on an "Act List," accessible through the in-battle status menu.
The CTB system replaced the traditional Active Time Battle system that had been used by the Final Fantasy series since the release of Final Fantasy IV in 1991. To this date, it has only appeared in the aforementioned titles.
