Speed Runs

[Shiyo]

I am a person who despises speed runs, skipping trash, and any type of exploit. I speed run AK all day everyday because I am literally punished for playing the game as it was intended. There is too much trash, it takes longer to clear all the trash than it does to kill all 3 bosses in AK, and it takes too many tokens for a full set of gear(i'm ok with this personally, I like grindy, but I don't want to farm the same dungeon 60 times for 50 mins and receive no reward, and instead punishment from clearing the trash when I can do it in 20 ). It also costs me more in repairs by killing all the trash than skipping, because this games durability system PUNISHES you for PLAYING and not for DYING. Essentially no death penalty, why wouldn't I suicide as much as possible to skip encounters that cost me more gil than dying to them to get past them?

Fix the infinite trash, make them more rewarding, fix the horribly broken durability system and add a death penalty. Problem fixed.
