To me the dialogs all read almost the exact same, and I know they that impose all kinds of restrictions in their SDK EULA.

It's like... okay. You've just shown me a progress bar, it went to 100% and now the bar is gone. What, I need to know that the bar is gone because it finished? I can see that my location and party organization changed, right there! Or I could, if you weren't blocking my view of the stats screen with a 'Load Finished' dialogue. (Square Enix, I'm looking at you...) Throw a dialogue up if there's an error. I don't need one on success; it's just one more button I have to press to get back where I want to be!
