Greetings,

Excuse the bump! Below is a comment from Akihiko Matsui in regards to the effect duration of Monomi, Tonko, and Spectral Jig.

Matsui here.
At the time there were a lot of opportunities where Invisible and Sneak needed to be cast on all party members, and considering the fact that it took a lot of work to constantly reapply them, we decided to increase the effect duration for those spells.

Due to the fact that Monomi and Tonko are not detectable by magic aggressive monsters and Spectral Jig places both invisible and sneak effects on the player at the same time, we made them have a shorter effect duration. However, the times have changed and with the addition of shortcuts, warps, and ease of travel, we feel that increasing the sneak/invisible duration would not have a large impact on game balance.

We’d like to look into the effect duration and casting time for each of these while keeping each of their benefits in mind, as there is a possibility that their uniqueness will be lost if they are made to simply match Invisible and Sneak.
