Thread: I Like Circles!!!

  1. #1

    Default I Like Circles!!!

    Random battles. To some, it's something fun to do to ease your way through a game. To others, it is the Bane of their Existence. But everybody has to do one at some point. So, if you're actively searching for a random battle in a game such as Shadow Hearts or one of the earlier FF's, how do you do it? Do you run/walk in circles, squares, triangles, straight lines, or do you have absolutely no pattern at all?

    Yeah, I don't know. I too am a fan of random battles, if they can be done to my liking.

    Circles? Sometimes. I don't know if it counts as a circle, but I sometimes like to run around the perimeter of what i'm fighting in, so it might be an oval for a forest or a bunch of weird stuff if it's a room.

    I like to find a big area and run around in circles. Random encounters are fun for grinding and hunting rare items. Not so much fun when exploring the area for the first time and your low on health and the last save point was like 10 areas away.

    I usually just use a Dark Bottle/something to make random encounters happen more often and run in a circle if I'm looking for them.

    Usually I try to find ways to just avoid the random encounters though, especially if it's a game where they're really frequent.

    I'm boring, I just go back and forth on one stretch of land and mash A when I hear the battle start. I'm usually doing something else at the time, like surfing the internet or reading, and will just look over from time to time to see how it's going.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Depends on the game I suppose. In FFI there were certain tiles which would ALWAYS be a fight, so there was no need to run around aimlessly.

    Otherwise, I stay near an entrance/save so I can heal, but run around randomly.

    run around an area mostly like everyone else, but I can agree that soemtimes random battles can be a nuscance. I hate it when I can't even make three steps before getting in another battle.

    I don't need to run. I just yell, "YAHTZEE!" and I fight a battle.

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."

    If I'm in a room in a dungeon, I walk around sticking to the walls, normally clockwise. On the world map or in looser dungeons or later games, I find a pretty landmark and go around it in alternating directions. Uhhh if I'm supar bored and tired I just run up and down and swear a bit and button mash maybe.

    Erratic movements without a specific shape or form.

    I'm a circle runner. In games where the other characters of your party follow you around like FF8 if you time it just right with exactly the right sized circle, you can get all three characters to be in the same place as each other as they run in circles and that amuses me greatly.

    If I'm not running in circles then you can bet I'll be running back and forth along some sort of notable feature in the landscape, like a set of chocobo tracks.
