>>46809421I hate this stupid cope even more than the "but muh JRPG tradition" faggots, at least they stick to their shit opinions while you acknowledge it would be better but still hold it back anyway because you're afraid it might be somewhat half-assed (like literally EVERYTHING ELSE in mainline games) for a few games while they improve it.
Shit, even in its Legpiss state it was still a massive improvement over random encounters. I actually had a reason to move around and explore a route and while there wasn't a ton of depth in the process of hunting down an OW mon it was still a hell of a lot more engaging than "look up the patch of grass that has the 1% spawn you want on bulbapedo, run around in circles for 4 minutes and then move on to the next route."
