Think of it like this - in FF, you're not taking turns when you attack. You're giving everyone orders and they all attack at the same time. If you have five guys stabbing an orc simultaneously, obviously it will be dead way before the fifth guy ever gets around to getting at it. Instead of thinking it's four people attacking in turn, think of it like they're attacking at the same time.
Which really is how it should be as this, "Your turn/my turn" business is very silly.
