That odd RPG system (random encounters)... It somehow destroys a whole game. Reason?
1. Making atmosphere look lifeless, you can't see bad people and monsters roaming around.
2. Cannot tell which one/what you want, meaning your decision gets confused as hell.
3. Trying to escape from the enemies if you don't want to fight or grind? Good luck, you'll get encountered quickly just 1-3 steps and sometime they won't leave you alone, which means you'll get delayed for main/side quests what you hope for.
Sorry if i sound like AVGN.

Not sure if sarcastic but you're right to some extent.

You could also name this thread "Xenogears the thread". Disk one had a good balance of going through dungeons and going through cities, cutscenes, ect. Disk 2 is hour long cutscene followed by hours of same-y looking dungeons that were needlessly long and really turned up the random encounter rate by 1000%, I imagine so you wouldn't be under leveled for the final boss, but some of these dungeons were ridiculous, and it was literally go through this gigantic dungeon then watch an hour long cutscene, wash, rinse, repeat. It was tiresome and seemed like the second disk took forever despite being a lot shorter in play time to the first.
This is why despite the story being arguably better, I prefer Xenoblade Chronicles ( and X) as a whole when talking about best games in the series.

Yeah i've heard that Xenogears could have been the best RPG from the PS1 era but disc 2 was awfully rushed and brought the whole quality of the game down. I still want to play it some day since Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favorites and best RPGs i've ever played.

I never liked random encounters in turn-based RPG's. I just chose to tolerate them because I enjoyed the rest of the game. I glad developers have moved away from that. I get that they force you to level up or, whatever lame excuse. But I rather have the option to jump into a battle when I want to.
As for FFVII Remake I'll wait until I know more about the combat system.

Agreed

I used to like random encounters when I was younger, but right now I would not be able to play a game with random encounters.
I just bought FFXII for PS4 and actually really enjoyed it because there are no random encounters.

me too lol

It is a game that is truly unlike any other you will play. It's not terrible even with the second disk, in fact I'd still say it is a legendary game, but it is undeniably an incomplete experience.
