It's just that by the time I realize I should, someone's dead, or at the moment I want to do it every name is in red and I can't.Equipment seems to matter a great deal, to the tune of almost a 50% difference in damage-dealing ability (judging from the numbers that pop up in the smaller battles where I can tell what number is associated with what action).Mark hunting is exactly where most of my complaints originate; the wraith in the mines just slaughters me every time, for example, no matter what I do. It doesn't help that other monsters keep spawning all around it, which are theoretically easy to kill but if you focus on them the wraith has time to heal itself and you have to start that fight all over again, with more undead where those ones came from. Meanwhile those auxiliary monsters are another pretty reliable source of damage and contribute more than you might think to the fight's seemingly-unwinnable status. And to add insult to injury, I doubt the reward could possibly cover the number of phoenix downs I've had to pour into that battle, so I expect I'll actually *lose* money overall.</blockquote>
