I’ve played tactician mode and worked my way through it like it was a 9-5 job, and nearly fell asleep. At no point was I challenged, or did I encounter an obstacle to my progress. I just encountered work after work. Drudge, basically. No battle was too difficult – that never came into play. The battles were just boring, because they increased stats and prolonged the length of the fights. It’s donkey work going through that. No challenge, no difficulty – just a longer fight. That’s not ‘tactical’.

I never lost one fight, but I near feel asleep at the computer through one of them.
At least in classic mode, there’s a pace. There was a pace in D:OS1 tactician as well, because it wasn’t just ‘inflate their stats’.

There are plenty of more imaginative options. I’ve suggested a few. If you like prolonging fights by 10-15min, where there’s still no challenge, maybe that should be a checkbox option for you. And you can keep this thing, where you’re beating the proverbial dead horse, again, and again.

I want something more creative.
