-52 fights x 12 minutes = ~10-11 hours of fights

Is that really that bad? I mean, these are the best weapons in the game (aside from triple-stacked materia). Is 10 hours of gameplay over 3 weeks really that bad for that?

Even consider doubling the time for setup and tapers and cooldown and still you're only looking at less than one hour a day over three weeks.

Let's call this thread what it really is: "I got discouraged after 20 tries so I'm butthurt and think I deserve what I want RIGHT NOW."

Even warp the math for really challenged groups and you come out with 100 hours of gameplay over 21 days. Besides, after this content what do you really plan on doing? Do you mean to tell me that mining 4000 times in each zone is more fun?
I played XI hardcore and even when sharing drops with an whole entire LS we didnt even have to kill Kirin 300 times for everyone to get their items from him..... and this was an 45 man ls.....
