Safety
There are several encounter tables in a given area, each with its own encounters; you have a chance to fight an encounter of any given type, and this chance can be modified by certain materia; if no special encounter type is chosen, a Normal Battle will be fought; note that while this usually matches the encounter type, there are exceptions to this rule (e.g., a Back Attack in a Normal Battle slot or vice-versa); Chocobo Lure battles are only fought while on chocobo tracks with a Chocobo Lure materia equipped; only one Mystery Ninja encounter is available at any given time, based on the party's level, and only if Yuffie has not joined the party
Slot Type
