This segment has been even worse than the previous one.

First of all, it is mainly about Encounter Skipping again, however, it takes more than 5 minutes to get to that part, which means resets are painful. In addition to that, thanks to the most gloriously accursed staircase in the entire game, I have to make use of freestyling until I get to the first random battle. Unfortunately, I have to make use of freestyling even on the return to Aerith's house after the Reno encounter thanks to one of the most horrible screens in the entire game. I ended up having to skip 5 random battles, which, combined with the degree of freestyling required, turned this segment into an orgy of frustration and hopelessness.

Moreover, even though the Reno boss battle is fairly simple, I had to reset whenever his Electro-mag Rod paralyzed anyone. Actually, had Reno not used his Pyramid attack at all, which happens with a probability of around 9%, I could have finished this battle 4-5 seconds faster because Reno would have got only 3 turns instead of 4. Considering that this time gain is rather tiny, I decided not to force it and rather focus on escaping the first random battle in this run as quickly as possible.

By the way, I had to accept this random battle for skipping it triggers the Repeating Boss Glitch.
