What are your thoughts on having enemies from earlier dungeons make re-appearances as enemies in later dungeons?
The few times I've seen this done in standard games (where it didn't feel like the enemies were recycled out of sheer laziness), I did like it.
In my main RM3 game, what I'm trying to do with my battle system is to make it so that the player needs to figure out a strategy in order to do well (since you need to charge up before using powerful spells, you need to make the most of them), even against standard monsters.
And since the battle frequency is rather thin, I feel like by the time the player figures out how to really thwomp an enemy, they'll only see them another one or two times before finishing the "dungeon." So, I figured I'd use those same enemies later in the game, anywhere where their appearance would also make sense (alongside some new, tougher monsters, of course).
Do you think you'd like to see something like this, so that developing a strategy would really allow for a payoff, or would it come across as lazy or boring to see some of the same monsters halfway through the game as you saw at the beginning?
