I wish I thought of this sooner, and wanted to share with anyone who doesn't already do something like this.

Balance World is the entire game compressed to a single map.



There's no dialog. No exploration. Only combat.

In Balance World, you walk up to a dungeon, fight it's battles back to back, then receive all the treasure inside. Plus, I have a few quick events setup for adding party members, boosting levels, and spawning certain tiers of gear.

This setup has been crucial for me, given the game's non-linear nature and variety of combat setups. I can quickly play through the game with different party members, equipment loadouts, and dungeon ordering.

It's also easy to add battles at any point in the game. I have a stockpile of saves for different level ranges and simply load the appropriate one when adding new encounters.

Balance World is simple, and you probably have something similar, but if you don't, consider it. I wish I had this from the start.
