In this video essay, I dive into the nostalgia and charm of random encounters in classic JRPGs and why I miss them in modern games. While many newer titles have shifted to visible enemies and seamless transitions, there's something special about the unpredictability and excitement that random encounters brought to games like Final Fantasy and Pokémon. We'll explore how random battles created a sense of tension, forced strategic planning, and added a layer of mystery to exploration.
