Grinding is normally the bane of my existence, so I don’t know how I managed to keep my interest up the whole time. I remember it taking like an hour per team level-ups (6 level-ups total), which meant I was putting a huge amount of time just re-fighting the same people or walking around the same area. Basically...not having fun. I remember reading manga or watching TV while doing it in order to keep myself from going crazy, but that doesn’t strike much confidence in a system when you feel like you need to multi-task. Still, despite how slow it was, I really enjoyed it, which is probably why I pushed myself through the slog. Not sure I can explain it well, but the Japanese theme and connections to Red/Blue were cool. I miss the slot machines though. |
True, I've been catching up on vanguard while playing through this, helps a bit
