[LPQ] Stage 8 - Reduce boxes from 9 to 8 by removing Box #9

Currently, the PQ requires your 5 teammates to do potentially up to 126 combinations to proceed through this stage. This causes LPQ runs to vary greatly in duration and, in my opinion, causes excess fatigue due to the mental strain of attempting many failing combinations if the party is just unlucky due to RNG.

I wanted to propose a change to LPQ's Stage 8: Remove Box #9 from the Stage. This will reduce the needed combinations for completion from 126 -> 56, cutting the time spent on this stage in half (or more). This will allow more consistency in LPQ runs and in turn make players in the PQ level range be more willing to try out the PQ or stay longer.

Let me list the benefits and detriments to this idea:

+ Average LPQ times are reduced and now more consistent
+ Reduced stress on Teams when completing this stage
+ Allows for more LPQs to be done/ More willingness on players to participate
+ Higher exp curve due to reduced LPQ duration and higher # of runs performed
+ Stage still functions similarly to the OG version
+ Obtaining Glasses in a shorter amount of playtime


- Developer resources used to make this happen
- Interferes with Nostalgia of performing near 100+ combinations and being in this stage for a long time
- Players in this PQ level range will level up faster
- Obtain glasses too quickly
