So what's everyone's opinion of the game's recent trend of separating the story with the battle stages? Before, you had to read the story before entering the battle (and sometimes, during and after the battle too), But now, they're in two separate modes.

Me, I do appreciate it since I can burn through the battle stages to earn the event points in as soon as possible. But now it's making me feel like I can't be bothered with the story.
