If you're following the same rules as me you can fight monsters from chests, this brings a question to mind - Can you actually run from monsters in chests? *tests*
Either way they don't count as random encounters in my opinion.
Gil is a real issue, the only way you're going to be able to keep your equipment up-to-date is by knowing where to find valuable spoils. Other than that there are boss battles to keep your income flowing, but I wouldn't like to rely on that gil alone considering a large chunk will be taken as a penalty for running from random battles. It may be worthwhile to spend all your gil before entering a dungeon so you don't lose any for fleeing.
Zeromus uses more Big Bangs than I think you'll be able to survive put it that way. :p
I think I'm going to update that thread, I progressed but didn't update, oh the shame.
