honestly don't think i properly appreciated this fact until getting into etrian odyssey through 4 gameplay should be fun and enjoyable to look forward to more battles (ofc, proper pacing of how often random encounters trigger is important)

i think there a lot of games where I didn't like the combat or is mid or whatever, but then everything else is swinging pretty hard.

You ever read dorbo abodal? Love its thoughts on genre.

Me getting killed online because I deadass will pick this every single day over whatever the hell Expedition 33 has going on with its combat.

The two prongs of the discussion are always "I am upset when I am not included in thing other people like?" And "hell yes I'm so awesome for liking this thing woooo" and it will never end as long as the human race persists

Non random encounters been around so damn long too it's a choice when it's used. People act like it's an old school thing when there's plenty of old games without it.

I cannot argue someone into liking classic JRPG design I cannot find the perfect debate strategy for convincing people that mashing auto-attack while I'm grinding to buy x99 elixirs is good I should not attempt it. I should just play the game I like.

Saw someone tell me they dislike RNG in RPGs and just had to take it and act unphased.

it drives me nuts that people can't seem to understand that not every game and every genre is for everyone. jrpg combat doesn't need to solved.
