The Not so Random Encounters of Final Fantasy Speedrunning

Random encounters in most JRPGs aren't actually random at all, let's see how speedrunners benefit from knowing what causes a random encounter and how nothing is truly random in most games.

It's so nice that the developers let us choose when we want our random encounters 😅

Who's that runner who keeps playing FF8 in the French translation?

[@syo5940]

That would be me!
Most runners on the PC version play in french as it saves around 7 minutes in the run. The reason for the timesave is that the translation is quite poor, and the textboxes mostly have less characters than in english, and the text boxes themselves have faster animations :D
