Dragon Quest 11 does something close to this. The 2D mode has random encounters, but the 3D model doesn't.

Im aware, but the way that works is kind of iffy. My understanding is that you basically travel back in time to a certain checkpoint when you switch and then you can basically play through the game to get back to where you were. This can be repeated infinitely to dupe stuff, etc. For now at least, Im trying to avoid that as I dont want the chests I opened already to be closed again.

Im doing a Full Draconian playthrough of it, almost at the end of act 1. I farmed 99 of every seed because the games hard with Full Draconian, and I thought I might need them in Act 2. So Im just taking a break before I figure out what I want to duplicate before I talk to the old man in Arboria and continue the game.

In DQ specifically, you only really want to grind metal enemies, and DQXI gives you a way to infinitely spawn them with Electro Light, so there would be little point to random battle grinding there anyway.
