Battle Auto-Pause?

[DR Kongo]

This is a small thing, but I'd love it if the game auto-paused when a battle starts. Yeah, I know it pauses when you first enter an area, but I mean after you click past the notice. I feel like it would help get me oriented a bit better because I still expect the game to pause automatically when a battle starts, having it start static and then needing to repause is probably always going to trip me up a bit.

I see that there are people who like to play the game without pausing at all for an extra challenge, so perhaps it could be a toggle-able option.

Not a bad idea. I usually pause immediately at the start anyway just to assess the situation. Like you said, if it was to be implemented it should definitely be an option you can toggle on or off.
