I mean that the battlers move about randomly w/o having to attack so that you would actually have go to them, like the abs on Quintessence, but on the battle background. The controlled character would be the only one that doesn't move at random, but I want it so that you would be able to use the directional keys to move either away or toward the enemy.
Okay, think of it this way. Take the side view battlers and merge it with the abs on the battle background, with a kingdom hearts-like HUD.
