Neptunia V2's 'skip every animation' button has spoiled me hard. needs to be a feature in every turn based jrpg imo.

recorded a quick clip of a normal battle using the same moves compare to a similar battle but with the skip animations button held down (L2).
its been a common feature in all recent IF games, but once the jump to ps4 happened, stuff is just insanely fast now and you can even skip the victory animation.
Playing digimon cyber sleuth atm, and the long pauses between moves, even with battle animation short on is pretty aggravating, and there is no way to turn it off in a battle, so you might accidentally enter a boss fight that you want to see the animations and is shit outta luck.
I'm glad most jrpgs allow spell animation skips these days, but IF takes it to the extreme... and I dig it. Makes grinding for levels and quests/trophies so pleasant.
