Overleveling vs Underleveling

[Koh]

And overlevelling isn't dragging things out unnecessarily, I suppose?

And I noticed you ignored my examples that weren't Final Fantasy, good job, lad, oh wait, I didn't even have a Final Fantasy example whoops

I admitted that I thought Final Fantasy and Pokemon would require more luck so it's not entirely like I was disagreeing with you.

You also have to remember, it doesn't necessarily take three times as many turns just because you don't have the three-times spells. Your health and defenses are lower too meaning you have to manage potions and party members much more effectively. You also won't get as much money which makes obtaining and managing said resources more difficult.

You keep on going "it just makes the battles longer" which is true, you just don't seem to be understanding why

I ignored those examples because I've never played those games and don't have an opinion on them xD.

As for overleveling not dragging things out, yes, you do have to see the same random encounters (or the same screens if it's a real-time game like Secret of Mana) a bunch of times, BUT, it's not within the same fight, as I put in caps before. Think about how easy it is to grind for a while, put the game down, come back later, grind more and then continue, than it is to run from every battle, get to a boss fight, and have to do the same fight like 6 times until you finally win, probably by luck since the enemy didn't score a critical or whatever, or if it was by "skill" then all the resources you wasted on that single battle. And I don't mean "easy" difficulty wise here, but how it wears on your attention span.
