the one way that Black Friday and christmas shopping can be made fun . with metal . <| sep |> If the battle froze during an enemy ' s action , the ATBturn meter for your characters will have skipped ahead slightly while the UI was unresponsive . This is very noticeable if it happens at the beginning of a battle , before you are able to input commands . When you regain control , several of your characters will be able to take their turn at once . This issue is mainly why I ' ve stopped playing FFRK on my phone . I am on a Nexus 6 running Android 7 , and I now only play on an emulator when I am home rip stamina . Note that this is not just specific to Global , but all issues listed here also affects the JP version . My workaround for this particular point , is to pause before your team gets their first turn in battle , for about 10 seconds . You may not be able to do this if you are playing at higher speed , and unluckily have a character start the round with full ATB , but if you don ' t , just pause the game and count to 10 , then unpause it , and you won ' t be affected by the freezes .
