been playing the original for the first time through the 7th heaven launcher with some QoL mods and everything was fine when i last saved and quit but now whenever i get into a fight both cloud and everyone except barret have thier idle and move animations very sped up and sometimes ill win a random encounter by just using basic attacks and not even killing the enemy. and i just got to the underwater reactor so i dont know if that has anything to do with it but if someone has an idea on a fix that would be much appreciated.

So i just completed the peak curiosity quest on virga island and there is no indication aside from the arbitrary "rank meter" to determine what level you should be for an area. I spent 4 hours climbing and beating most every monster there because I was lvl like 39 and was fighting low to mid 50 level monsters. The big bad at the end is 55! I know theres the Travellers voices thing but that is also a crap shoot. Im looking at it right now and half are around my level and the other half are like 60+. How am I supposed to discern which is the true level I should be at? And I cant come back later cause id have to first just WASTE the day I spent in the dungeon AND id have to spend another 3 fucking days just swimming back. Im loving the game so far but this really annoyed me. Im the kind of guy who does all the side quests I can before tackling the main story boss, so this just feels weird to have a side quest available as SOON as you touch foot In the virga Islands be a higher level (im assuming) than the main story dungeon.

Been happening all day to day the movements aren't fluid as usual and theres a delay between inputs. Any help is appreciated!

i get that its supposed to be more of a deterrent than anything but i was able to beat it and all i get is a decent amount of mag and a health incense? i burned through pretty much all of HB's mana trying to kill this thing assuming i would get a nice reward or wouldnt have to deal with it until the end but it just showed right back up when morris called it again. im assuming its also the boss of this dungeon so i essentially killed the dungeon boss at the BEGINNING of the dungeon and still have to deal with it later. loving the game so far this just felt the risk was not worth the reward at all.
