Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A real-time strategy RPG spin-off following Vaan's airship adventures.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Grid-based tactical combat solved through positioning and builds.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); South Park: The Fractured But Whole leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
minimal direct control, RTS-lite touch input
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Timing minigames barely gate the grid combat
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
scripted enemy AI, not adaptive
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Enemy turns follow fixed visible logic
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Minor roll spread; encounters are otherwise fixed
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
party composition and gambit-like strategy
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Grid positioning and artifact builds solve every fight
