A challenge is one thing, but with the way it is at the moment it's nearly impossible to beat. Funding a run like this is not cheap or easy, especially considering how time consuming the Pre-Quests are. I don't know how things are in JMS, but in GMS only a few groups are even attempting to fight Pink Bean because not enough ranged attackers are washed heavily enough to survive the damage, the time limit is too low and the Pre-Quests are a pain in the ass.
I agree that things shouldn't be handed to you, but what is the point of having an invincible boss? I don't find it fun spending 5 billion mesos to MP wash my Night Lord just to fight a boss and I don't find it fun spending three days collecting masks just to enter. It makes what is intended to be a game a chore. I'm up for *reasonable* challenges but it's obviously just too much since no version has even come close to beating it with the original time limit and it has been out in some version for months. That's when you know it's just too much.
Anyway, I'm not complaining regardless of what they do, if they keep it with one hour time limit that's fine with me too, all I'm saying is I see this as a reasonable change. Yes, twelve hours is a bit much, but it's certainly better than a one hour time limit for a monster with three times the HP of Horntail.
