I gave up on the game cause of this. They give you this wonderful world to explore, then punish you for doing so. Three seconds of exploring per one minute battle gives 10 hours of pointless fighting against non-threats for every thirty minutes in the air. WTF where they thinking?! To add insult to injury, it seemed like half the time the monsters would flee the battle in the first round (especially those annoying onion thingies). And you end up with such an over-powered group of characters that the actual dungeons aren't challenging at all.
