What to study

This is the same party panel as the bridge fight, now showing the systems that make Chrono Trigger's combat active rather than turn-based: an AUTO toggle above the panel hands control to the AI, a left-right arrow switches targets, and green/yellow ATB bars float beside each character to show whose turn is charging. The numbers tell the harder story the bars soften: the party is at 537/814, 225/628 and 162/694 HP, so the bars are not decoration, they are the countdown to the next decision under pressure. A small run icon sits in the top-left corner, the only other control on screen. Frame at about 1:18 in the ESRB EN Launch Trailer (Steam). No trailer caption is overlaid on this frame.
