I want my fights to feel like Final Fantasy fights. That means they should last longer than five seconds unless the enemy is significantly below your level. I would prefer xp, however, to not increase as we currently level far too fast and need a speed redux. I leveled PGL, LNC, and MRD from 14, 10, and 10 all to 30 with a 48 hour period a few days ago. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but that is a subject for another thread.
