RotDS v2.9.8 download

That's... nice? Still doesn't mean it's not an unneeded hassle. A hassle that even Square (and then Square Enix) itself moved away from in their later games no less.

I don't know man, this is subjective, it's not an universal inconvenience because you are the 1st person raising this point for RotDS.. It's also an improvement from previous FF games (FF1 to FF4) if you want to make comparisons and RotDS way is IMO an improvement from vanilla FF6 where you need to permanently waste a relic slot to sprint. The dash patch was added to not waste a relic slot I presume, but adding an early game auto-sprint relic with another primary purpose is a good idea. I also previously stated that optional auto-dash menu setting was a good idea.
