I also enjoyed the class selection in Sacred Stones, but adding grinding killed the game for me. Also, it's the FE I wore out my R button on from checking enemy units and such.

Curse you, FE 8!

 

 Grinding? I disagree.

I finished the main story of FE8 on hard.

No grinding, as in the fact that I did never - not one single time fight a battle that wasn't in the story. It left the final game incredibly hard, but it was doable (without ever losing a character, except for Knoll in the chapter you get him).

 

I did some quick trips to the first level of Lagdou ruins, and I'm now set for starting Lagdou (did it).

 

Total "grinding": 40 min or so.

Of course, clearing the easy levels of the Valdi tower might increase that to an hour.

Indeed.  You don't need to grind at all to beat the game.
