Does FF10 have Random battles?

October 17th, 2002

Just curious. I have not played it. And I finally decided to start playing FF9 again to try and beat it. But playing through it I have come to the conclusion that I detest random battles and they are so completely un neccasary...

In most games random battles ARE neccessary. But maybe not for FF9, I have not played it yet.

If u dont like random battles, play grandia I or II

**Bgnome** · October 17th, 2002

as for the question, yes, there are random battles in ffx

October 17th, 2002

Erm random battles are not neccasary, Several games do wonderfully without them.

Grandia 1, 2 Chrono Cross.

Lunar The Silver Star Story (compare it to Lunar the Silver Star) This shows you that a game can be programmed without random battles in Mind.

Lunar Eternal Blue Complete (Compare to Lunar Eternal Blue for Sega CD)

Same thing.

I am totally against random battles and they are in FFX. The frequency of battles is a little high IMO.

EfrainMan · October 18th, 2002

Man the random battles were crazy high inside Sin. 3-4 steps! Yeesh! I just slapped on some battle preventing armor and said "fuggeddaboutit" to leveling up. The place where you fought Omega weapon was horrible, too. :eyes:

I used Tidus' "FLEE" ability a lot

EfrainMan · October 18th, 2002

Yeah, what whas up with that!? Only one char can escape at a time? Someone at Square was smokin' w33d . . .

**Yeloazndevil** · October 18th, 2002

Efrainman square did for a reason if your in a battle one character escapes and if the rest of your party is defeated there's no game over

EfrainMan · October 18th, 2002

Well, that seems to take some of the challenge outta the game. I still say they were smokin' w33d

I was playing in the training room in FF7 and I couldn't run from some dinosaur monstor. I ended up dying because I forgot to junction my Guardian Forces, which were all level 1 :eyes:

You mean FF8, right? Yes, the Tyranosaur monster is quite tough. He's impossible to beat without junctioning.

I agree that random battles are lame. They should really re-innovate the series as a whole.

**Yeloazndevil** · October 18th, 2002

its called T-Rexaur

EfrainMan · October 18th, 2002

FF8 had so many nasty "regular creatures." T-Rexaur was just the first taste. The things on Heaven/Hell islands were just crazy hard. And FFX is a lot like that. 7 & 9 seemed more . . . balanced.

I have no problem with random battles, although they do try my patience occasionally. After playing FF1 and FF4j though, all the FF games of today pale in comparison. In those games it was like a battle every 2 squares.

Random battles in 3 words: go to hell!

Zelph · October 18th, 2002

I dont't mind the random battles. They are just part of the game. I didn't particularly like the battles in FF8 tho... it was kind of cool having to fight a really tough random battle every once in a while.

Christemplar · October 18th, 2002

IF there's a Enc-none in FFX.... Is there??

**Kane** · October 18th, 2002

Sorta, yeah.
