In FFTA, I used to have my low level units attack my main character for experience which is an insanely good strat unless you forget to unequip counter. The little reaction animation followed by Marche exacting revenge on the poor level 1 character is my most vivid memory of that game.

Tbh I kind of feel like that stuff is a problem with the game design, and i love FFT but like.. I think its lame how you have to attack your own characters, equip junk skills to ppl just so they can get exp for taking some kind of action every turn, etc, if you wan tto 'make the most' of your time. Idk what the answer is but once you realize you can do this stuff, it creates this weird pressure on you and it feels like its contrary or at least unrelated to what the game is supposed to be about and I think ideally it wouldnt be like that. Maybe im alone here but i hope this wont be part of Kingdom Hearts Tactics.

Agreed. By the time I was doing that stuff I was in post-game just trying to get all the classes unlocked. I think it's really weird how counter-intuitive a lot of SRPGs can get. Disgaea like someone mentioned earlier is a real big offender, where you're creating giant stacks of dudes to set up a throwing chain to get to the next floor without fighting anyone because that's the best way to level up your items. It just doesn't feel right.

Is Divinity: Original Sin a SRPG or a CRPG?

I'm playing this game on steam that is a TRPG with mechanics that involve throwing people or stuff at other characters but it's not for pedophiles and has no insane grinding for turbo OCD people http://store.steampowered.com/app/540690/

That looks kinda neat. Is the main character a ware-bear?

I've. It's very good even though I got the bad ending.

Having some fun with Fire Emblem Heores. It's a pretty light casual SRPG with gacha elements, but it's not as aids-filled as similar free to play mobile games. Nintendo moving into the mobile market is a good thing.
