Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
since they changed from random encounters to monsters walking around i keep thinking about how that changes gameplay and that i dont like people who insist thats better

tho having them walking around makes the simple environments look nicer

they can hardly notice you so every fight is just some kids deciding to beat up some monsters minding their own business

My favorite is when the monsters get a surprise attack and go first and run away

it helps that its never perfectly contained to an episode, you save an island and well i wanna see the present day version now guess i should keep playing. oh i got a new tablet there, may as well go put it in the slot. oh im on a new island again guess i should see what their problem is, etc
