Food Crafting seems imbalanced (time vs value)

[Dangeru]

I think food should persist through death, or at least make HQ food persist through death. The effort involved to make them isn't too bad if they didn't vanish the moment you die.

I really like the idea of high quality food giving extra features like persisting through death instead of just marginally better stat bonuses. Quality-of-life bonuses to food and equipment is worth putting down extra gil for versus normal quality stuff.
