Too many random battles are practically the trademark of the earlier games, I got used to it, not that it bothered me in the first place. Glad to hear/read that you loved the leveling system, not many seem to like it. I would like to see your overall opinion on the game, the story, characters, music, opponents and so...

I almost forgot to congrats you, just keep beating them. God luck with V, I hope you'll like it more than I do.
