I am going to finish my 2nd one today. It wasn't too hard with the beast tribes and roulettes. It is very time consuming and boring though. I think if they slightly lowered the amount of tomes and currency needed for each item it would be better. Maybe speed it up about 25%. I am guessing they will do that with the next upgrade.

The crafting part is the worst. Since I don't craft there's nothing to it other then giving a couple million gil to people for the items.
