Depends on the game, though I generally always consider escaping unless attempting to escape is risky, ie persona 3, where your entire turn is pretty much gone, versus p4, where you wait for an opening.

I find I escape from more battles near the end of a game.

Depends on the game and where I am in it, though I used to do it all the time. I beat the first Golden Sun at level 17.

Level 17?! Yeesh, how the heck did you ever beat Saturos like that?

EDIT: And Menardi? I mean, I know you can just spam barrier Djinn all the time, but...

I generally use it a lot nowadays, whenever I don't want to bother fighting or in more extreme cases, I know I'm outmatched (e.g. those large gel-things in FFX-2 or Reaper in P3/4). Early-game, though, I never run at all. I go out of my way to grind that early.
eee
I run in only pokemon games cause they seem to be really long, unless there is a major level difference
in final fantasy and those kind of games, I don't really hit escape.

I haven't played GS, I've tried, but never completed, from what I read, Saturos is lvl 14, he should be easy to defeat

Rarely, unless I know I was a goner if I didn't run, or sometimes when I get bored fighting the same enemy tens of times.

I hate grinding. I hate turn-based games. I hate non-interactive battles. I hate games with artificial 200 hour lengths. I hate frequent random encounters. If it weren't for the often excellent stories and catchy soundtracks, I'd avoid all "normal" RPGs like the plague.

Djinn, equipment. Unfortunately I accidentally saved over the file not long ago. If I recall, the final boss took a while. I'm thinking about trying it again for my new playthrough.

It really depends on the game. When I was playing FF3 on the DS you will need to grind at certain points in the game. Most of the time I only escape from battles when the battles are too easy (mainly when back-tracking).

Not a huge RPG junkie, but Pokémon is probably the most-fled game I've ever played, just because of the sheer quantity of the encounters, especially when going through a long area (i.e., Victory Road) so I don't run out of PP. Whose idea was it to make elixirs and ethers unbuyable, anyway?

I had to reread this line a couple of times before I realized what it meant.

Actually, fighting every battle is for wimps.

"lol hi mr boss that i am already sufficiently leveled to defeat normally using scrub tactics hi tarunda hi rakukaja hi attack x200 hi macca leaves/me-(dia/diarama/diaharan)"

Using persona examples because it's the last game I've played.

edit: wait i forgot healing

Depends a lot on the situation. I'll flee from fights in any game, if, say, I'm just trying to get someplace and fights are slowing me down too much, or if I really need to get away else die, just getting tired of fighting, etc.

Pokémon, Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia, anything else I can't think of right now.

The only game where I haven't frequently fled is Okami. I've only run from a few fights, and I think all but a couple of those times were accidental lol.

I escape if the battle is insignificant. If I can get something good from the battle, I'll fight it. If the monsters give good exp, I'll fight it. If I can't get anything good and I don't get enough exp to make a difference, I'm outta there. Oh, and I'll usually escape if I've just healed my party up to fight a boss or something and I want to be in peak condition.

I escape only when it's safe. I kinda like Grinding. But I get pissed off when the console turns off accidentally and I didn't saved nothing >:|

Actually... I just run off when I don't wanna waste time... or when I espect that the battle is going to take more than 2 rounds ^^' I'm not the ultimate fighter in RPG's ;p

In pokemon, my pokemon are amazingly always the correct level even though i run so much. Then again, i grind before a Gym.

In TWEWY, there are no random encounters so i kinda used the preset pins till the end of Shiki week... Of course i had a array of 1337 pins before fighting Draco Cantus. Now im striving to collect the Darklit planets.... Wait. Out of point.
