Honestly? This is needed, if not absolutely necessary to play G.O.D. One of the things that holds the game down is the OUTRAGEOUS encounter rate - like there are plenty of instances in dungeons where you can’t even last more than three seconds moving from your current position after going into a battle. Worse is that there’s no item to get rid of encounters, only a Chakra skill that functions exclusively in the overworld. Reminds me of Gen 4 Pokemon encounter rates, eugh. And with the game pretty much encouraging you to more or less engage in every battle rather than running away from them unless they’re weaker enemies - it makes the game a slog. Luckily this exists, and it definitely respects the player’s time more with this patch. Make sure your friends don’t get killed before you kill the last enemy, or heck, before beating a boss! And use those alcohol drinks too that double your rewards even more during boss fights (haven’t gone to that point yet in a fresh play, but it should work)!
