What are people opinions on random battles in RPGs?
Thaes:
I think they are okay. They help keep the game interesting when you play it again after completing it.
Scruffy:
Random battles can be okay. It's just when they are every other step that it gets annoying. I remember this one game, every time you get to a door, every time you open a chest, every time you walked along a wall or whatever, it was you're being attacked.
To be honest, in FF12, I wish they had random battles. Without any surprise and being able to walk around badguys, it just wasn't as interesting.

Narr:
Truly random encounters (as in the map just spontaneously enters battle, like in every FF game up to 9) are a thing of the past and unwanted. I suppose there is something to be said about not knowing when you're going to enter battle, but considering most games that employ that style of random encounter are boring in terms of combat, then I'd rather be able to pick and choose my battles.
Games like the latest few Namco Tales games and Earthbound did it right. Have random monters, but the battles can be avoided because the monsters have to touch you to initiate combat.
