I think this just didn't sink in for me when I read it.
Six, you have to go play Ascension, with all the Improved Bosses that come with it (also, does that mean you haven't actually tried
Turnabout? I assumed you had played both based on you commenting about Turnabout).
Anyway, if you really haven't, then all this time... I mean, ALL THIS TIME, have you been facing [I think we're beyond this in this thread, but it hasn't been mentioned yet, so... TOB END-GAME FINAL BOSS SPOILER ALERT!!!]...

...Mellisan plus some silly demons when you play ToB?
I think you Owe It To The Game to play Ascension.
Ok, that was hyperbole, but still. The guy who absolutely dissected Tactics hasn't played Ascension? And commented on it? That seems like me never using Kelsey. Yes, you'll find it extremely cheesy at first. You'll probably get burned by the "one of The Five won't die & I have to reload & that utterly sucks" bug that we all run into once out of every 10-15 tries.
But still, I think you should at least give it a go. It has its fair share of cheese, but it strains your tactical abilities to the limit at the same time, but not in a "you can only win if you Chain Contingency these-3-exact-spells while dual-wielding Celestial Fury + Sanchuudoku" kind of way. Many tactics & parties will work.
You're telling me you've never faced Tamah in Abazigail's Lair? You've never had to deal with Yaga Shura's Lieutenants? You've never faced The Five all at once in the Throne?
You need to do this, if just to revitalize ToB for you. Plus, then you'll be able to offer insights into the Final Battle even I'd like to hear despite facing Ascension umpteen times.
If you have actually played Ascension, then just consider this post an advertisement for it (plus Turnabout) for those who haven't. [img]smile.gif[/img]
ETA:
Ascension download link, just to complete the whole advertisement bit for anyone who hasn't tried it.
