In order to prevent players from simply chain-attacking every enemy encountered to death (thereby making it a dull and repetitive game), the Risk system was implemented so that the player is encouraged to stop attacking after a couple of hits in order to keep their Risk low. This, in turn, gave the enemies an opportunity to attack the player which ultimately balanced the combat.
The effect of Risk is twofold: It decreases the likelihood of a successful attack but it increases the likelihood of a critical hit. A player could certainly chain 50 hits on a boss, but, as soon as the player messes up and breaks the chain, they will have full Risk and the chances of connecting another hit before the boss retaliates is slim to none. The moral of the story is for the player to never chain longer than necessary, usually about 4-6 hits per chain is plenty. The player should intentionally break the chain and start over again to keep their Risk as low as possible while dealing as much damage as possible.

A concept introduced in Vagrant Story. A long attack combo results in higher Risk which lowers your chances of landing a successful attack.
Risk is a combat system mechanic implemented in Vagrant Story as a means of balance. The game's primary combat mechanic simply involves pressing a button on the controller in rhythm, and so long as the player maintains that rhythm, they are able to continue to chain their attack for a theoretically endless amount of damage.In order to prevent players from simply chain-attacking every enemy encountered to death (thereby making it a dull and repetitive game), the Risk system was implemented so that the player is encouraged to stop attacking after a couple of hits in order to keep their Risk low.
