Duh, I mostly say "and they sell junk in this ridiculous location" as a reference for merchants in jrpg. Traveling merchants. Who make no sense. They always sell armor that is slightly better then you are wearing. And you can always find them. In locations ranging from "normal town №54" to "Literal Hell". And they never give discounts even if all the world is destroyed and you having slighly better sword is the only hope for saving everything.

I wish the Merchant was the Final Boss of those games.
