Yeah but at least when I can see the enemies on the field I can mentally prepare myself for the encounter.  But when I'm walking around, exploring the world, and a random battle just "happens" out of the blue, that's just annoying.

No strategy if you know what's coming. "Oh look a fire based enemy, I'll just equip my ice blade and fire absorbing armour before I even go into the battle so the battle has no threat."

Do you not remember the sheer terror of meeting a Malboro in certain locations in FF games, knowing your die from it. Now you just walk around.

Yet in a game with random battle, no battle is out of the blue, you know they are coming as the game has random battles. The worst fights are prolonged multiple boss fights you don't know about on first play through. You think that the boss fight you are on is it but then bam, here's another, screw the fact you are on 50% HP/no MP and no healing left, win this fight. That takes real strategy.



Hmm, pie.
