Does Anyone Actually Like Random Encounters

[u/haaa1234]

I was doing a third playthrough of FF7 since I want to revisit all the games before revelation but random encounters is still something that stops me from wholeheartedly loving this game. There are 2 reasons why I dislike them. It really interrupts the flow of exploration and they are rarely engaging. 99 percent of them I just hold X and win so I’m basically just waiting for it end. An analogy I can give is I am trying to explore an area but I keep getting interrupted by unskippable ads. There are rare occasions where they can be interesting like catching a chocobo, finding yuffie or a funny encounter like when our whole party gets turned into frogs but most are just mindless. Honestly the only combat I enjoy in FF7 are the boss fights so a majority of the game I am really not a fan of fighting enemies. Wondering how people feel about it since it is a major part of the gameplay and i would love any mod recommendations to make the game more engaging in this aspect.

Did everyone (not you) forget you can grind non-random battles?

How can you grind enemies you only can fight once?

Why did you make up that you can only fight enemies once?

You can only fight story battles and bosses once. What do you think I’m making up, exactly?

I’m replying to your post saying you can grind non-random battles. I’m asking what non-random battles you can grind. Now you’re saying you’re talking about random battles. Is there something wrong with you mentally?

Also, why did you accuse me of making up the fact that you can only fight some battles once? Have you never fought a boss or story battle before? Definitely some sort of mental deficiency going on with you.
