Okay, I corrected my last post to say minor battles, not random battles.
Anywho, I don't usually get tired of random battles until later in the game when I'm all leveled up and I can beat all the random enemies easily and so it becomes a waste of time and MP, but it's usually around that time that I find an anti-random battle item. (Like the Moogle Charm that you equip to Mog in FF6.) At this point, though, the random battles are just a minor annoyance to me. A well-written storyline, a nicely developed cast of characters, some challenging and fun boss battles, and a good ending are more than enough to make up for any minor inconveniences such as random battles when I don't want them.
