It still had random encounters* and was on the PS2 yeah gotta be X;  
essentially the game seemed to be saying "Hey glad you got to this part of  
the story now bugger off and do a load of unrelated crap until you're good  
enough to progress"

*Okay online comic strip - the characters have stowed away aboard a ship's  
hold in a crate, get out and are confronted by some sort of cleaning robot  
who points out that to pass through the apparently empty hold will entail  
battling the 999 security robots contained therein [character takes one  
step fight music starts] 'Damnit not another random encounter'; sigh I  
just can't remember which comic.
