Pros & Considerations

Structure

Eight radically different protagonist chapters experiment with stealth, duels, horror, western set pieces and conventional JRPG exploration.

Battles

Turn order, party composition and ability selection make encounter planning more important than reflex execution

Progression

Equipment, skills or party growth provide clear long-term build decisions across the campaign
