Would you rather find treasure, to build a character's stat's and ability? Or seek out weapon's and further item's to help throughout game play? I have rented Bionic Commando and by completing, objective's will gain your character new skill's.

These would be needful, for furthered game play heading to the end boss. I also have gotten, White Knght Chronicle's in that chest's and other treasure's can be found during game play.

End question, are locating treasure's fair or should game's go without them?
