Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - Missions and Monsters

There are only three human classes in Missions And Monsters, but monsters are now playable, and you can recruit almost all of them except for the demonic or zombie ones. Monsters can be recruited if you finish a Mission after your second Shrine quest in the main plotline. Each monster has its own unique innate class, which is treated as a base class in which one progresses to unlock the first tier of generic monster subclasses, which are shared by all monsters. A monster chooses TWO subclasses, so that you can have a Deft Sylvan Vangal, for example. You get to choose the Counter ability, but the six passives are locked to the class and chosen subclasses and cannot be swapped out individually. This streamlines things a bit while adding more abilities to the mix. Overall, monsters are pretty powerful, they interact directly with Wrangler human class, and recruiting new monster types also unlocks abilities for the Beastmaster human class. Samurai human class is just its own thing, but their gimmick is gaining bonuses based on having debuffs. Any non-story character can be sent on a Mission from the Guild. They tend to take about 15-30 minutes in the first part of the game, and some can take as many as 5 characters with the right Guild upgrade. 3 missions can run at the same time, so this can grind tons of AP and keep your extended roster busy and really let you try everything faster. The timer runs even after you save and exit, making it... well, Pokemon Idle! You even can turn on AI for all units if you want! lulz. Reloading after starting a Mission yesterday feels good. The AP gain can be pretty comparable to just doing patrols, and vicarious global AP applies as always. There are also some optional extra-large battles with 9 or so allies allowed, rounding out the general feel that having more units is fun. You might even finally learn enough to wrap your head around Bzarro at this rate. No reason to skip if you like Fell Seal already, IMO.

Fell Seal is the Final Fantasy Tactics 2 we always wanted but never got. All the job-switching skill-slotting min-maxing madness of FFT, none of the "laws" or other terrible ideas of the FFT Advance games.
