Does the game have a "short" mode for battles like the Persona series? It basically skips all the animations and just shows the HP/SP effects.
dunno; i didn't do any truly lengthy / elaborate attacks. i only played the first hour of the game or thereabouts. it's speedy enough that i feel like that's not a concern, especially on auto mode. the animation is cut, just like in SMT3. instead of seeing the character walk up to an enemy, you'll just see the camera cut to the enemy with the character poised in front of them, and do the attack. it looks really cool, actually. i think if you're not playing on auto you might see more of the animation, since it's fully turn-based (not ATB type) and thus may as well fill in the time of your choices with animations. not 100% positive here, it's been awhile since i touched it or nocturne, and i haven't gotten deep into either one of them.
they both, officially, use the same battle system ('Press Turn System') according to the PR (i mean, aside from the fact that the games use the same engine and it's pretty obvious.)
