    If you kill something like 1x10^99 monsters there won't be enough space for Laguna to give his toll and your game will probably crash

    I never had the patience to risk running around forever and kill like, 100 monsters or whatnot, just to find out I obviously wouldn't get anything.
    Sounds like you've never played an FF before
    Why?

    I've played every "real" FF game (1, 2, 3 and so on) lots of times, and this is the FIRST time I've seen some mission like this one that doesn't give you anything.
    FFs never give you stuff for beating random encounters other then spoils.

    Alright then tell me how many times in FFIX you can go around, beat some random encounters, talk to a storyline related person and expect to get something.

    The game probably stops counting at 9999. :rolleyes2

    That or FFFF. Both are nice round numbers, and are both one away from requiring another digit to represent.

    FF8 can't stop counting at 9999; it has attacks with 5-digit damage!

    It can if the programmers said "Don't bother" for that particular value.
    Damage may be capped around FFFF, but that doesn't mean everything goes up that high.

    First of all the battles we are talking about (FFVIII) Aren't "random" as you are "told" to do them, more on less so there for you should expect something.


    In FFIX you fight some monsters In Linbulun (sp) and are rewarded.

    Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this were true:

    0-20 monsters: *NOTHING*
    21-35 monsters: 5 POTIONS
    36-50 monsters: 5 ETHERS
    51-65 monsters: 1 ELIXIR
    66-100 monsters: 10 ELIXIRS
    101-150 monsters: 1 MEGALIXIR
    151-200 monsters: 10 MEGALIXIRS

    You probably recognize this kind of stuff.
    Besides, you get a higher SeeD Rank by killing lots of enemies during the Exam.
    Do you understand my way of thinking?

    If I recall, Laguna doesn't get anything for patrolling and killing the monsters because he feels obligated to protect the town because they took care of him. Storywise, it wouldn't make sense for you to get anything because he has already been 'paid' by the town for taking him in.

    No he tells himself to do it, as Duncan said he felt obligated. Besides random encounters are random as long as they can be blocked by things like No Encounters, and can be escaped from, if they aren't blocked by No Encounters, and cannot be escaped from they are what you call, Forced Battles.

    You mean Lindblum during the Festival of the Hunt? Its a Tournament and you are told that you will get a prize if you win. Also you can see those battles on the screen and aviod them, so they aren't random battles.

    But there is a count (In FFVIII) for how many monsters. It seams strange how they'd bother to tell you how many monsters you've "Exterminated" if there's nothing to go by there.

    If I had made the game I would have done it by stages.
