Pros & Considerations
Battles
Real-time combat rewards positioning and active skill use rather than menu-only decision making
Progression
Equipment and ability growth provide clear build goals across the campaign
◇Consider
Performance: The original Switch version has notable frame-rate and loading issues; the 3D environments are also less dense than RF4’s 2D maps.
