^ I agree with that, Shadowdust, for the time you spend drawing you could spend that grinding in other games. People point out you can get the refine ability and buy tents to get curagas, true, that gets your life insane, but not much else unless you're going out and getting those items. You do get a lot of them just by playing but I feel they were spaced out nicely by the game designers as you went along the story.

would you care to grace us with your thoughts, then, Mr. Mod?
