I'm not saying you don't have to fight random battles or grind for exp at some point. I'm just saying you can turn it off occasionally to do other things because the gameplay doesn't consist entirely of that. Random battles are part of the process, not the entire process, and sometimes they're just in the way.

Also, I guarantee 90% of the faggots posting "why even play then" or other similar bullshit played most of these games on emulators for the first time and absolutely turned off random battles at some point because there is no JRPG where they don't eventually become a pointless nuisance in certain circumstances. As always, this board is full of people striking a pose that has little to do with how they actually do things in real life.

And the thing is, turning off random battles isn't eve the thing people should be butthurt about. That's a trade-off of sorts. The real "why even bother playing the game" feature is the shit like toggling invicibility on or off or infinite limit breaks
