Diablo Immortal
Legendary gem and loot RNG, heavily monetized
Fire Emblem Fates
Dual-strike/guard procs and hit rates inject meaningful RNG
Optimization8 vs 8

Resonance, paragon, set optimization dominate power
Fire Emblem Fates
Offspring seals, asset/flaw selection, and supports are deeply planned
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
