Maximum Number of Enemies in a Common Fight??

[Fallen Angel X]

Battles with that many monsters aren't hard when you the big bang attack! But on a serious note I'd say maybe 5 tops. But depends on how BIG the monsters are though too  :-\

I say that the max is... IT'S OVER 9000!!! 

You just got that from me, huh? Or from Vegeta....

Battles with too much enemies will be a complete pain when you don't have a multi-attack move. It's especially true when these monsters have that and begin to gang up on a player (Especially if the monster has enough strength to actually hit him/her/IT). The same rules apply to a favorite Indie RPG of mine, Exile/Avernum. That game, you can have a battalion of enemies...yet, if you use one of the strongest spells, Shockwave, it can wipe them off in a minute, making the quantity obsolete. So having a multi-attack spell will make this all useless, but when fighting common enemies, three is enough to not make it a bothersome task.

I'd say it depends on the battle system involved. In say an ABS, 5 might be a bit much or way too little. In the DBS, 5 is a crapload lot if you are weak and they're decent. In an ATB, 5 enemies have the potential to eat your party alive. See what I mean?

Well...

[fugibo]

I'd say five.

I agree with you...
