You posted that the same time I did, that post was actually responding to ABF's last one :D.
Are you guys really that impatient? Okay, let's see now. I'm going to estimate the apporximate time it would take to run away from a random battle from FFX (only because I know FFX so well.)
First, the screen shatters, then the shards blow off screen to reveal the battle scene. The enemy may ambush you, but for this example, they won't. You select your character, pick Flee, and you're gone. A few seconds pass, ou're told you got no money or experience, and your back to the world map. About 20 secons, and that's even giving a few seconds for margin of error. All games have different running options but come on. To the best of my recollection it takes even less time to run from a FFIV battle. If you're playing an RPG which you're already going to pour potentially several dozen hours into, I can't believe you're complaining about having to waste 20 seconds here and there.
You know what, I'm not going to go all OB1 on you. You have your opinions, I have mine, we'll leave it at that. Now then...
Final Fantasy IV on GBA! W00T!
