To start, to queue attacks in the game, you will need what are called brave points which each character including enemies can use. All characters also get a max of three brave points allowing them to do up to four actions plus the base action each turn. 

That said, if you want to queue attacks with brave points, you will need to press the ZR button three times and then queue your attacks by selecting them. 

After doing this three times, selecting the fourth action will end your character's turn; also, if you manage to kill an enemy with one or two hits and have actions leftover, your character will perform the remaining actions on the nearest enemy. 

Now, if you want to build brave points back up, you will need to select the default action by pressing A; doing this will both defend the chosen character from attacks and build BP back up until it is their turn again.
