I've put 2 complaints in one comment, but you can win the whole game without ever thinking if you just put your 2 best characters in a pair, without even grinding. And grind or no grind, the multi-class system makes it too easy to erase the weaknesses of the characters. In older games, even when your characters where overpowered, they kept their weaknesses and didn't become that broken.
Only the Lunatic mode asked me to grind a bit, because I wanted to try different characters, but you don't even need to grind to get broken characters. The gameplay itself is broken anyway...
@OP: You should try Radiant Dawn or even its prequel Path of Radiance. You might change your mind on what is the best FE. If you like strategy and challenge... |
I don't recall it being that broken without abusing tonics, but regardless, I think that's an issue with balancing rather than the idea itself being unredeemably bad. I think Fates showed just how much potential pairing up/reclassing has when most of the balancing issues from Awakening were accounted for, and given how well it worked out there I think it'd be premature to remove it just because there were admittedly crinks that needed ironing out after Awakening.
