Battle system problems

Not really a problem per say but having to do all these animations for the battle system together with writing it from scratch is a bit daunting. My mind is telling me to remake the game in rpg maker XP but I dunno. The battle system will certainly look like that of RMXP, the static characters and such. I will do it in game maker still though. On the plus side, the game will finish a bit faster and the file size a bit smaller XD.
