    Hadn’t run through X since original launch, but was it the first FF with active battles? No more turn based? Or was it 12 that more-or-less abandoned turn based battles? (Never played 11)

      X actually went back to fully turn-based, getting rid of the ATB.

      XII still had the ATB, but you could move freely in the environment and all enemies were already there. So no more random battles.

      XV was the first mainline Final Fantasy with active battles. But games like Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and Lightning Returns had it earlier.
