Reason: Could use expansion with game by game differences and more rules

Press Turn[a] is a recurring battle system introduced in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. It gives the player another "half turn" when they hit an enemy with their respective weakness. This applies to both sides making it a double-edged sword.

A simplified form is the basis for the One More[b] system in the Persona series from the third game onwards.

Overview

Press Turn

  • Each character has one full turn by default
  • Hitting an enemy with the element that they are weak to gives the player an extra "Half turn".

  • The currently controlled character can "Pass" their turn to the next character, using half the turn
  • Hitting an enemy with an element they nullify or repel takes away several turns

  • Half turns do not exist, all turns are full turns
  • When the active character hits an enemy's weakness or lands a critical hit, the enemy gets Downed and the character gains a One More
