Really enjoying what they did with TT this patch in regards to collecting them and the game itself. Today after doing all the story stuff I decided to try getting a card I haven't been able to get in years: Bahamut from King Elmer. To my amazement I got it within 30 mins. And other NPCs that were giving me trouble also were quick to drop. (except Hob for some reason)
The game itself also seems to make the animations go faster. I'm not sure if I will be able to get all the cards atm but I definitely know it's now not going to be as big of a hassle as it was before.
