-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?
You forgot to include the 15 minute forced break in-between which is 24 hours, give or take, to maybe get 7/7.
Just as a reference for myself I've beat ifrit 300 times and I'm still 6/7 (Haven't bothered doing it since the patch)

This also doesn't include taper farming although it's not hard it should still be factored in.

Don't get me wrong though, it's silly watch people do their first 5 fights and complain they haven't gotten anything. And it does happen. However, the system is still broke that I have 300 wins and ran more than most people in my LS and they're 7/7 and I'm not.
