Forums - Gaming - If you play JRPGs', do you hate random encounters?

usually I hate it, but I "accept" if the rest makes up for it. FF IX had a decent amount of random battles so that I wasn't bothered by it. but if I could change it, I'd do it with no doubt



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

It depends. I like games that have both.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

The worse thing about them is they can lead you to level up your characters too soon relative to where they are supposed to be in a rpg's storyline.

Same could be said the other way, as I've gone into battle far too weak and got my arse handed to me because it is always far to tempting to just ignore the battles. Even beaten by enemies in the next area, not a boss.

 

 



Hmm, pie.

Pretty much...You got to otherside of big map, then notice you forgot 1 treasure where you come from...
Thats why Grandia was truly huge at its time.

If they're well implemented (not too frequent, they end quickly, short loading screen and there's something you can do to not have 'em like FF8's Enc-None), I don't mind 'em at all. If they're poorly implemented, I hate them

You said it!

 



I used to hate them, but I miss them.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^
