Inconveniences that yield no entertainment are one of the evils of the older games, just as bad as the accusations leveled today about feather collectibles as padding in UbisoftGameX(tm). It’s the reason that when playing FF8 you intentionally level up your base attacks+MP attacks so you can deliberately avoid using summons all the time because they have shorter casting animations because fuck waiting 2 minutes for an absolute certainty to kill something that never, ever, ever, ever even remotely posed a threat to your over-levelled ass and yields no reward.

It’s why ‘Repel’ in Pokemon is so great, and why a function to disable random encounters is awesome. There gets to be a certain point where ‘filler’ gets tedious and gets in the way.

Every single RPG should have this option. Yes, you can turn off all random encounters. Specifically: You can A) speed up the game and B) turn off all random encounters. Some of FFVII‘s new cheats are actually tools that make the game significantly more enjoyable to play, letting you ditch some of the musty old relics of ’90s role-playing.
