I'm playing through Skies of Arcadia Legends for the first time and it has made me realise how many design choices I take for granted in modern games.

This game has so many great features, but is let down by similar simple shit.

1. Can skip your special attack animations, but not your magic animations.
2. Can't skip enemy special or magic animations.
3. Over the top random encounter rate with low-level enemies adds up to 35-40 minutes to any dungeon run because you have to watch most of the animations.
4. Can't save at your leisure...so make sure you have a good 1hr~1hr30mins to complete any dungeon.
