@Pristine: The point is that each is fun for different people and boring for the others. That´s what I wanted to show to Arsenal. I only grind for the optional superpowered bosses and for that I only do the minimal. And anyway, it´s not as if Westerners don´t like grinding in their RPGs. MMOs are full of that.
@student: I don´t buy the dated gameplay system, because FF has been having the same ATB system for 10 years and FFX, the second best selling FF ever, had a more traditional gameplay system than the previous ones. It´s merely the fact that Japanese developers never bothered much, they believed they were the best developers in the world until recently and that the Japanese market was enough. Only Squaresoft did, because it was their only field.
