So I got into FFT recently. Decided to try it with the 1.3 easytype mod, but started hating it real quick. While I like the changes made to class balance and AI abilities usage and it did make the battles more challenging, the thing that killed it for me was poorly-designed level scaling as it eliminates the sense of progression and actually makes you want to keep your squad as low-level as possible. Every encounter is level-scaled to the highest level present in your squad (regardless if you pick the high-level one to participate in battle or not). It makes all the battles doable even if your picked squad is underleveled, but forces you to metagame in ways that I don't appreciate (like, say, scouting out the next encounter, reloading and than fitting a proper counter).
Have you guys tried the other available mods? What about FFT+? Basically I want a more challenging game with balanced classes/abilities like those present in 1.13 that doesn't introduce level scaling.
