Apart from the SeeD exam, where you have to run from the mecha-spider thing, is there any other point in the game where you HAVE to run? :hmmm:

I'm just asking cause I'm having a bit of trouble setting up the controls on the PSP. I need to move using the analogue stick, and I need the directional buttons too. However, if I need to flee, L2 and R2 are essential and I have no idea where to place them D=

So if I don't need to flee again, I can just get rid of them. xD
 
Mark, you may have to- Naw, there isn't another part like that XD

All the other battles in the game you can choose to run from except that one. Except boss fights of course :monster:
 
Not that I remember, but there will be fights you may have to run from due to being too weak/on a timer. I play using a PSP, and have escape set as Analogue Stick -> + Square.

I found this the hard way by getting into a fight with a T-Rexaur before even obtaining Ifrit. I won, but only because I had spent time Drawing Cure previously.

Ooh, interesting. I just need to figure out how to do that too, I guess. xD

Thanks for the replies, everyone ^^

Go into Config. The analogue stick left/right is set as L2/R2 default. Then just change it however you want.

Also, I made a typo. Mine is Right and Circle, not Square. Square is still TT match. <3
 
To answer your question, there are no more encounters that require escaping. As Rexi mentioned, there may be some encounters you just don't want to bother with. I tend to escape battles from Ruby Dragons later on in the game because Breathe kills me most of the time and I'm usually farming items for something and don't need to fight them. But there is never a battle after the SeeD exam that the game forces you to escape from.
 
If you are playing on a PSP hold the analog stick UP to flee.

I had the same problem but found this out completely by accident.
 
The thing is though, I want to use the analogue stick to move around >_>

I'd set L1 and R1 to L2 and R2, but I remembered you need L1 and R1 for Zell's limit breaks :vikki:
