| I basically fight ones but I also experiment with stuff in random encounters. Shadow Hearts still had me experimenting with the battle system at the end of the game, and with games like Tales of and maybe Star Ocean, the characters have different styles and potentials, so thus in some games like Tales of Vesperia I'd decide to use the random encounters as ways to experiment with characters. Because face it...who wouldn't wanna send enemies flying and juggle them in mid-air with Judith?
Of course that's also how I found how annoyed I was with Karol and Raven. I just plain sucked with Raven and wasn't good with him at all and Karol's slowness tended to aggravate me to no end. Besides the computer played Raven better than I did anyways so why bother.
Plus I found that I liked playing as Natalia a lot in Tales of the Abyss. Almost as much as Luke and Asch.
Now in terms of games like Tactics Ogre or Fire Emblem, it's a little bit different since with those turn-based games you have to think ahead and take other stuff into advantage. Like say in Tactics Ogre, even a level 50 Leeroy can be killed if they're surrounded and the map with the like 12 Terror Knights can weaken a level 50 party. (I've done it) Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the plume? Move as a group...surround the enemy...try and knock them into the air...then unleash either Aguste's combos while they're still in the air or a multi-hit airborne attack. |
