You Can't Skip the Quest Clear Animation Sometimes. Are there any plans to fix this?

We plan to address this with two fixes, (1) making it so the Trial Clear animation is skipped when the Trial is a quest completion requirement, (2) and making the Reward Acceptance Menu open immediately after the Quest Completion animation plays.

It's annoying how Boss Enemy Hp Gauges aren't always displayed during Quests.
Can you Fix This?

We are planning to make it so that all boss enemies' HP Gauges are displayed with an update in August.
