If you play JRPGs', do you hate random encounters?

I prefer random encounters over seeing enemies anyday. Let me tell you why...

When you can see the enemies in a JRPG(xenosaga,Rogue Galaxy, Star Ocean 3, FFXII, etc) you always have a very scarce selection of enemies. Never enough to "Farm" or "power level" with. You also have to actually run out of the area, then return to get them to fucking re spawn which is ridiculous. FFXI and XII kind of rectified this a little with spawn times, and spawn limits, yet not entirely.

I miss being able to run around in circles like a 5yr old for a few seconds and getting to the battle. That was much more fun then scavenging around for a little generic monster that you fight once and then need to exit.
