I actually hate random encounters, and I always have, so I am incredibly gleeful about their departure. I mean, they've been around since the pixel days, they break immersion, they're annoying and impossible to plan for. Besides, if they made eleven games with the same formula, SURELY IT IS TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW?

Of course my opinion on this is invalid because we still haven't got it yet. And when we do, I probably won't be getting it for a while. (Just like I still haven't got Kingdom Hearts. Either of them. So, er, there is somebody who finished it slower than you! I AM GETTING SO VERY SICK OF AXEL BECAUSE EVERYONE TALKS AND RANTS ABOUT AND DRAWS HIM.) From what I've seen, it looks like it's good? Feel free to contradict me. And hey, British accents! Can't go wrong with 'em unless you're Liquid Snake.

I am talking a lot to disguise the fact that I ran out of relevance the moment I admitted I can't play it. Whoo!
