griffins would not be so annoying if they didnt flee. but it adds personality to the enemies. some enemies r passive and wont attack unless provoked( unfortunately in this game, provoking is coming within a certain radius as opposed to ff12 were passive enemies did not attack unless attacked. other enemies are uber aggressive and can "smell" u from a greater distance ex. drakes. the griffin however is a teasing jerk and in relations to another blog, i agree that the griffin's wings should be removable( destroying them stops the griffin from flying away but literally cutting them off would be way more satisfying) i have a harder time getting the stupid thing to land than actually fighting it. i spent an hour trying to engage it while it dove attack oxen before i decided i hated the flyer, and spent my time somewhere else. i feel like i waste less time godbaning myself in the everfall for loot than engaging a griffin
