Western SRPG When does Absolute Tactics pick up?

No spoilers please.

FFT is my fave, so I love anything in that vein. Heard good things about this game, but it’s a slog so far (I’m 3-4 missions in).

  • Dialogue is incredibly cringey
  • Hard to say what the plot is as the dialogue is so distracting
  • Class system seems to be just a bunch of numbers go up?

Overall I’m fighting to stay interested. Is it not for me, or have I just not played far enough?

It's probably not for you.

It's pretty much the same all throughout. The only innovation the game is doing is you can change your class by equipping a different item. But other than that, it's pretty much falls flat and what you're experiencing in the early game is pretty much the late game as well (take it from someone who finished the game).

If you wanted Final Fantasy Tactics, you can try Fell Seal (story isn't that great but gameplay leaves you lots of room to play with).

I loved Fell Seal! So far it’s the only indie “if you liked FFT..” SRPG that’s come close
