It's not real time EM. Zelda is real time. FFIV is still turn based but it uses Square's "active time battle" system where instead of speed directly determining order every turn, it determines how quickly an "action bar" fills up and when it's full, you attack. It's still turn based, it's just that when your turn comes up is derived differently.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
