Topic: Dragon Quest XI Combat Question

I feel like I’m missing something. For some reason every battle is on autopilot and all I can do is choose how I want my characters to fight. Is there a setting where I can choose to make every move? If so, I cannot find it. Thanks.

On the tactics menu just put every character to follow direct commands.

Yeah that was annoying how it defaults to auto-pilot. Just do what Eel says and it's all good.
