About, me:
3) I stopped at the books stage. I feel them so grindy I really have aborted any willing to go ahead at the point that I dunno if return to it, even if that part will be eased in the future
This is where I pretty much gave up myself. Too many books... too many tomes... to long of waits on stupid FATEs... It just got boring and idiotically grindy, plus, I dont really have the means or gil to finish the Alex stage, which will cost me tens of millions or more.
