progression system

Progression is praised for giving players many meaningful ways to build their party through attributes, weapons, and systems like Pictos/Lumina.

Episodes of South Town uses battle-earned experience and leveling as its main progression structure.

Progression is engaging once builds open up, but some reviewers say gear growth starts slowly or feels underwhelming early.

Progression helps later combat somewhat, but many reviews still frame it as limited rather than transformative.
