| Pristine20 said: I've already played many rpgs that are better than ffvii. Not from the present gen though. FFxiii looks good but I think removal of random battles take A LOT of difficulty away from the game. Think about it, before it was scary to run into a marlboro because of a likely game over if unprepared (and you never could be fully prepared) due to the ridiculous number of status ailments caused by "bad breath" but now you can see a marlboro from across the map and plan accordingly. The ailments even work differently due to the real time battle system. |
Random battles are kind of dated and only existed because back in the NES era, letting you go to battles optionally was not possible because of the limited hardware. I personally feel that random battles can get tedious especially if the encounter rate is high.
EDIT:FFXII got rid of random encounters and was still a relatively difficult game.
