Artificial difficulty is artificial. Making people run because they're out of anima is simply a way of wasting time that could be spent doing fun stuff. I play this game to challenge myself crafting, killing things, and gambling on materia meld chances, not trying to stay awake while crossing bland scenery XYZ while listening to the 30th hour of the chocobo song. If there was a way to downrate this thread, I would do so in a heartbeat.
