So apparently, random encounters in the PS4 version aren't so random anymore. You'll run into them exactly when you're supposed to, and in battle, the enemies will follow the same pattern over and over. This isn't something I would have recognized myself, but many people have taken notice to it already.

Well I guess that makes grinding easier? Unless you need to leave a screen in order to reset the random encounters... That would prove quite annoying.

that... sounds bad

if enemies always follow  a pattern, won't they be significantly easier to beat? also how can you meet an enemy at the 'right' place? encounters are based on step count

yeah it's not the greatest, not sure if it's something they're gonna patch or not 

It's fine, I've seen no issues. There will be no patches.
