Yes.

>lack of random encounters
Well that already puts it above many others

/ss/: The game

Sue is incredibly annoying.
I don't remember a single good thing about the combat system aside from the lack of combat encounters.
The only thing this game really has going for it is a sense of adventure, otherwise it's utterly mediocre.
Though /v/ is known for praising even a fucking Legend of Dragoon as a second coming of Christ so i'm not surprised this game is praised too.
