Pros & Considerations

Maps

The Eliwood/Hector campaigns provide strong objective variety and some of the series’ clearest classic tactical design.

Battles

Grid positioning, movement ranges and enemy threat areas make map control as important as raw character levels

Progression

Unit builds, equipment and class choices create long-term tactical planning beyond individual maps

Consider

Onboarding: Lyn mode is helpful for newcomers but can feel overly tutorial-heavy on repeat playthroughs.
