Good evening i just want to know what Main story progression you like?
1.Calendar system : story will progress even you not do anything

2.Quest system : story/season will progress aften you complete the story mission
( day and nigth still move on normally,Days in the week still rotate in cycle but not progress to the next season )

Thank you so much for your kindness

Quest system - obviously it works best with RPG. Time limited events are worst thing possible in this genre.
Of course, if you can do all quests no matter date/month/year then I can accpet 1, but in any other case - 2.

I'm a long time lover of RPG's and i've always preferred the quest system.

I know people love the Persona games and I did enjoy Persona 5 however it just felt linear and I did get frustrated at not being able to do anything I wanted because it was on a set time.

It's easier for story telling and development because you can push things how you want and some people will love it, that being said a chuck of us do find it frustrating.

I like my simple questing systems like Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate etc...
