xenoblade combat is like some weird mix of a MMO or MOBA and a combo brawler, where your character auto-attacks and you have abilities on cooldowns but eventually you're also trying to combo and animation cancel all your abilities into each other. it's pretty slow and rhythmic for a real-time system but still faster paced than a turn based system. it's hard to describe accurately since it's so unique relative to other JRPGs.
