Maybe it will be an option for playing on easy difficulty.

Like for example, selling off all your shares in them before they implode? ;)

Square Enix's next patent is going to be a game that plays itself. You only press a button, any button, to skip to the next sections and save.

All The Bravest would like to have a few words with you...

Apologize NOW!

I'm sorry :(.

Yup, and here it is in writing what I've been saying throughout the entire 7th gen; developers are butchering the RPG genre and watering it down to appeal to broader audiences.
If someone is too dense to understand a menu system, perhaps RPG isn't their genre.

God S-E, I never knew you wanted to be dethroned so badly by Monolith Soft.

PS: You can stop now, everyone already likes Monolith Soft more.
