Advice on ABS plugins for a complete Newb

Im not 100% sure if ABS is the perfect description for what Im trying to do.
Ive read that battle systems on the map, outside the base battle system, are generally called ABS, so thats why I asked for that.
From your description, it may just fit quite well actually.

Still, Ill be waiting for more suggestions / opinions on this.
Thanks for your reply^^

Advice on ABS plugins for a complete Newb

Hey there,
I was thinking about trying to create a game and had a pretty good idea how it should look like but was completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of plugins etc that are necessary to make it a reality, so I dont even know where to start.
What I want is the following:
1) An Action Battle System (ABS) (I dont want to use the base RPG Maker battle system at all)
2) Grid based movement
3) Turn based: The player gets a turn during which he can move / attack, and then the enemies get one turn. The enemies will do nothing while the player hasnt made his move yet.
Ill spare you the details, so now my question:
What version of RPG Maker and what plugins should I start with?
I have yet to buy any RPG Maker and thus have complete freedom of choice when it comes to which version andsoon; What has me worried though is when I see people commenting under ABS plugins (like JABS for example) that it causes syntax errors and simply doesnt work. I dont want to spend 30-80 bucks on a RPG maker engine just to find out it dont work that way...
