If not struck, however, the downed target cannot act their next turn (whether it comes at the end of the round or the next round or whenever), instead using it to get back up. A character in this state that is again struck by their weakness or a critical does not yield another '1 More!', and will immediately get back up (they will get up if struck by any non-damaging attack, so status does not cause them to get back up, nor do stat-breaks). The enemy criticalled or hit with a weakness is then inflicted with the 'Knocked Down' status. Called a '1 More!', this gives the character that criticalled or struck a weakness an extra turn. The press turn, however, is a bit different. Doing either grants a press turn, much like in DDS or SMTN. Where it gets interesting is if a character criticals or strikes a weakness. After that, characters act in what appears to be a completely random order, so no speed hype here. In normal turn-based combat (barring the few scripted exceptions), Minato Arisato (the protagonist) always strikes first. Once struck, you'll enter a turn-based battle system where either you (if you struck an unaware enemy) or the enemies (if they struck you first) or neither (if you struck them and they were aware of you) will get a free set of actions before the turn-based combat begins (moving in the order from top to bottom on the party list).

What does this mean? Battles are entered onscreen by striking enemies or being struck by them. Persona 3 uses a turn-based modified press-turn system. I'm not writing you a Christmas Card this year either. If you didn't see this coming, you really don't know me.
