Back in FFVIII you could also mess with regional rules to change them, so it wasn't that bad. Dunno how they work in this game — they're supposed to be regional but I've seen two NPCs in the same area with different rules. Also, some NPCs seem to be unaffected by this and they always have no regional rules.
