Clair Obscur Expedition 33 kind of has the gaining abilities from mastering equipment thing you mentioned, it's not really equipment in that you can't see the items being put on, but you equip items that give abilities and after a few battles with it you master the ability and can change to another item but equip the ability through a separate resource pool.
That is actually part of what I meant by having permanent access to the ability. One of the games I didn't mention in my comment does it like that, where you get the abilities by mastering equipment but then you have to use AP to actually activate it like how abilities were in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. I've actually been interested in playing Clair Obscure because I've heard that it's one of the best RPGs to exist. The only problem is that, because it's a modern game, I don't know it it'll run on my computer and I don't have another way to play it.
You can always try it out and refund it on Steam if it doesn't run well (or pirate it, test it, then buy it if it does). The prologue is actually one of the most hardware-taxing parts of the game, so you'll know in about 20 minutes if your system can play it well.
I could do that but I might have to wait until we switch ISPs. My current internet speed is terrible and the ISPs that we're looking into have significantly better speeds. For context, I'm currently trying to download a game from Itchio that's only 700 MB and, on top of the fact that it keeps failing, it needs over half an hour to download for me.
Ah, in that case you'd definitely want to get the game via Steam or torrents. Both of those options have resumable downloads so if you're on slow Internet it'll just be... Slow. It won't "fail and need to restart". It'll just take a day or whatever to download.
Yeah, I've downloaded games through Steam before. I actually had to switch over to the Itchio desktop app because downloads through their desktop app are more stable than their website. And yes, I know that I should probably just use their app to download games but I just hate using app stores on PC, it's the same reason Steam isn't my preferred source for games.
I hope you get to play it some day, it's very good
