Especially if said easy encounters require nothing more than you mashing through them. You know the games I'm talking about.

This is why I like Persona. There are multiple ways to tackle different enemy formations, and managing your SP and healing items is crucial.

But tbh I like the Final Fantasy style, too. Trash mob fights are relaxing to me. >_>

Squenix is by far the worst offender, but it's not always bad about it and there are worse examples out there.

I understand this. But they're a house-hold name and I think you get the point I'm trying to make.

I'm just saying that Breath of Fire 2 and 3 exist.

Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG exist also.

I get that there are exceptions to the rule.

Or you go the Earthbound route and have extremely frequent and difficult encounters that constantly inflict status ailments on the party. Thank God they fixed that in Mother 3.

Earthbound's combat is also just not engaging.

Easy trash encounters in the beginning, at least, make for good practice and experimentation with game mechanics, but bosses ought to be the exam on what you've learned.

Yeah, but when lategame encounters are exactly as difficult, there may be an issue.
