I like being able to decide if I want to have random encounters or not. In games I usually like being able to settle down and grind for a while when I feel like I want to get my levels up, but when I'm ready to tackle a hard dungeon or something I just want to explore the dungeon and look for treasure and keep healed and ready for the boss. That's one thing I hate about a lot of JRPGs with random encounters, being in a dungeon and every other step I keep running into stupid random bad guys that I have to waste health and MP fighting. (Actually Bravely Default's kinda neat in the leveling area too, because it's not really character level that matters it's the level of your job. With the right strategy you could conceivably beat some of the hardest game bosses with low-leveled characters that just have the right mix of job skills.)

That's fair. I often find them distracting; I'm here to achieve my goal, and random encounters are mostly just a combat obstacle course. At least in platforming, you can mostly ignore enemies if you so prefer!

Also, in some ways, I get frustrated because turn-based combat can take so LONG. There's the cut to the battle arena, the music starting, maybe a dramatic camera angle, then choosing your attack. Even a one-hit kill can take a bit, while in real-time combat with no new arena, you can at least smack through minions pretty fast.
