I hate random encounters. I think they're a cop-out in gaming. The battle system has a "bonus" system that is a little interesting but gets pretty easy to master early in the game. The casting system is interesting and it's probably my favorite part of the combat (casting time, interruptions, etc.).
I really think Blue Dragon's approach to combat was vastly superior to Lost Odyssey. I'm a big fan of that timer attack system and really liked how it changed the entire structure of long battles. It also kept you thinking the entire time and how you handled the timing of attacks could vastly change how you fought a battle.
