How often do you run away from battles? And what enemy do you usualy run away from?

Running from battles is a rarity for me (except for in FF9. When fighting Yans, I do it often).

Actually, I usually run away from Gau if I encounter him before buying the dried meat, if that counts.

If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

I only run away when I'm really screwed into a hole, like fighting Intangirs at a low level without Doom, and in timed situations, i.e. the burning house in WoR Tzen.

I agree the only time I every ran from battles is in timed situation like the burning house. That is the only time though I have too much pride I rather die then run away like a coward.

I don't think I ever ran... save the first time I played it through when I was timed (opera, floating continent, collapsing house, etc.)

Never.

The only time I run is in FFV when I wanted to get the chicken knife to be godly.

--------------------

Yeah, I barely post.

Run away from the Guardian whenever I encounter it on accident ;

I run from a few things, but usually when I'm in deep trouble. Thing is, battling is my least favorite part of *most* RPGs, so sometimes, when there's an enemy that seems like it may take too long to kill, I just run away.

--------------------

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

As it was said before, i mainl only run in Timed situations as well.

pretty much like everyone here said - running from timed situations. but I usually fight all other battles to gain levels

I always run (low lvl game), but now I gotta fight because when you arrive at the end of WoB spitfire & ski armors are impossible to kill because they can one hit kill everyone with a single Absolute 0 and we can't run, always side attacked.. surely the hardest part in the game for low level I guess... 5 side attack battles without even being able to save.

I usually only run from battles when etiher 1) it's a timed situation or 2) I've already fought a million battles trying to level up and just don't feel like fighting anymore.

I'm guilty of constantly running away from... I think he's called Zombone? He's a big, fosil-ish looking enemy you encounter in the deserts. Anydangway... When I first played the game, I ran into one of those, and I tried to fight him with my low level charecters. He turned 'em all into zombies and I died... So ever since then I've been mortaly afraid of Zombones... *sigh*

That reminds me, when I first started playing.... I ran away when I only had Celes in my party. Those bloodpires or whetever they are called cause havoc when you don't have any relics to defend agains their attacks!!

Usually, I only run away when I've had enough of fighting and I want to et on with the story line.

"May Castor and Pollox blow me to Bermuda!"- Quote from
"The Sword in the Stone"

I start running away when I've had enough of fighting and want to get to a save point so I can quit playing. I also occasionally run from HadesGigas in Zozo to avoid it casting Magnitude8 on me.

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

In the phoenix cave, without anti-death relics, with Celes as a party of one during my three-man clear. Had to go kill the red dragon, you know. Other than that, I have only run from Invincible Guardian.

My soul is bound to the Mistress of the Afterlife, and my fealty is to her always. So let's just hope she doesn't use it as one of her ten daily meals.

normally, i never run even if I have high chance of death. It hurts my pride. Although ff6 doesn't work "run count" (like ff5, ff7) I still have to fight every monster i see dunno why

--------------------

I will be there...

I have runned away of battle like a 1.000.000 times! especially when I know that I must fight a boss or when I get bored of fighting.

--------------------

They may be monsters, but they're sea monsters. What're they gonna do? Flop around on deck and suffocate at us threateningly?

I always run ! Its so fun! plus, it gets annoying fighting the weak enemies over and over again Or i just have a moogle charm to evade.

Hmm, I think the only time I end up running from battles is when (if) 3 of my characters are dead/zombified/stoned and the last one is low on life... note that this is a very rare occasion, and I don't think it happens on any specific enemy ^^

Ya' know what? I hardly ran at all in FF6 - not even in the burning house since I seemed to have enough time. I think the few times I ran were probably on the Veldt because I was getting bored trying to encounter new enemies for Leaping and Raging.

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

I run every so often, like when I'm trying to sustain a low level, or when I just don't feel like fighting.
