When I say "feels like PSO" I mean the combat more than the grind, given that it's the same tank controls being used for melee combat and all that comes with that kind of set up. And yes all RPGs of that sort do have some kind of grind, which is why I tend to play more story oriented RPGs rather than the the ones like MHtri and Demon souls. I really love demon souls but I got about halfway through it before it just felt like a slog trying to collect the proper loot to upgrade my weapons. The idea of spending hours fighting the same boss five times hoping to get the right kind of scales, before going to mine for ores so that I can get the next sword upgrade just isn't my thing.
I'm not saying it's going to be a bad game, I think it will be of the utmost quality for what it is. But that kind of game has only a limited audience (unless blizzard is making it, then everyone will want that), which is why there will only be limited hype for it outside of Japan.
