Or I could not waste my time playing that pile of crap when the vastly superior FFXII exists.

Random battles don't make games more challenging, only more annoying. Go play FFXII; easily the most challenging game in the series since FFIV or V, yet there's no random encounters. Everything you mention about being on the edge of your seat when you get into trouble, trust me it's still there and a lot more fun. Instead of worrying about running into a random battle you have no control over that could cut your game short, you worry about the monster that really isn't that far away catching a glimpse of you and not being able to run fast enough to get away, or running into a group of monsters you can't sneak around. I'll say that this is more fun anyday of the week. I'd much rather be in control and on the edge of my seat than worried about a totally random game mechanic screwing me over.
