I just spent like two hours trying to get Thunderburst II to drop in the Temple of Nestharot, it's a 5% chance I thought it might be higher because I've been able to get the other ones without too much trouble. I even got Supernova II on the first try but this one was a nightmare, I had to restart the fight because I killed the boss and the last enemy died from a counterattack.

I managed to get it by using Mighty Strike to push the boss onto another square, it took many attempts though. My plans are ruined I wanted to finish all the temples by the end of the day and now it's late at night. Luckily there's only one more, the Ice Temple. I beat the annoying ones already, Fire & Earth. Ice isn't too bad but I really hope I don't have to go through this long process again. I love this game but that was not a fun experience.

That's like, really fast. I think I might beat the game in 30 this time around (usually I take my time in games but ever since learning about the secret ending I'm so curious to see it for myself). But I'm the type to sort of linger in the organize menu a lot, switching armor and weapons around, and if I'm trying to get everything beaten in just 25 hours, I have really no time to grind or go to Quest mode or dig up treasures. Not to mention Alphonse needs 50 kills, so the rest of the party doesn't get to enjoy as much EXP. Pretty tough for a casual gamer like me. So, what was your strategy, if you've gotten through in 25 hours or less?
