I like some degree of randomness, but I am not a big fan of "powerful item ONLY accessible via rare item drops" since those can require grinding for hours just to get the one item.  

And I'm not a big fan of bosses where victory pretty much relies on the mercy of the RNG.

But to some degree, a bit of randomness can help prevent the game from feeling repetitive.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
