Bravely DefaultCarto
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
Carto leans harder on execution: Relaxed tile dragging, no pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Bravely Default leans harder on variance: Minor drop and encounter randomness
Optimization8 vs 8
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
