In a period of the game where many of us are pushing for speedruns in dungeons and optimising party setups this has come as a real breath of fresh air. Challenging content is great and I love it but the game also needs stuff like skirmish. The more casual player can still pick up a nice weapon and those with more time can play the materia lottery and meld them into really nice weapons. The balance in this event is lovely, thanks SE you really have got this one just right.
