i don't think so. savestates aren't giving you an unfair advantage mechanic-wise. it's just saving time. even if you're trying to best some RNG odds.

i'm sure there are corner cases though.

Using savestates to beat RNG odds can still lead to getting an unfair advantage.

>waste some random numbers, do battle, get better stat gains from the level up

IMO that would fall under save scumming, and therefore cheating. But of course...

However, I don't have any issues with people cheating in offline games so it doesn't matter lol.
