Some people say they want to skip to the fun parts.

But then, they get to endgame, and find every single way to skip everything they can.

Darkhold is ran by training mobs most of the way, just running through here and there. Of course, you can't avoid that if you want that 25 min. chest.

And then for the boss fights, we'll find every shortcut possibles to avoid any efforts and remove every risk into the fight.

So where is that fun part that you're skipping to? Wearing those shinies is the fun part?

I'd comment on Ifrit, sentinel, etc. but really, I haven't been to that fight yet, haven't had the time for it. So I won't.

But it just feels like overall people are skipping the "boring" parts to get to the fun, that really isn't there, if even at endgame, you're skipping most of the content. A lot of people seems (keyword is seems) to be trying to get to the end of a game with no end. That's not hardcore, that's not skills, that's mindlessly pushing through. Like a A miquote chasing her tail...
