I imagine the game is way too easy on balanced. Is it even remotely challenging on tactician?
What even developer don't understand: Some people don't want a challenging fight sometimes ... or a realistic story, world whatever .... some people want sometimes just to ... relax and dream.
My real-life is challenging enough ....
There is already a game mode for that. Explorer mode is exactly what your looking for.
I am interested though in the original question, does Tactician mode keep the challenge high for an RP style of play? (Not min maxing)
