The battle speed can be adjusted between six different settings, three being the medium, one being the fastest and six the slowest. A character Speed will also determine their own personal gauge's charge rate, with some armor and accessories causing this stat to increase or decrease. This can be even further manipulated upon with spells such as Haste, Slow, and Stop, each one either speeding up, slowing down, or even halting the charge rate of the ATB gauge altogether.
