| Words Of Wisdom said: Final Fantasy VI did feel like a grindfest. Whether or not you actually "need" to grind is irrelevant if the system makes you feel like you do. It's like saying you don't "need" to keep everyone alive in Fire Emblem. Well of course you can finish the game without everyone still being alive, but the natural tendency is to reset if someone dies. |
I agree with this. I actually did a hell of a lot more grinding at the end of FF6 than I did for either FF4 or FF5. You need to level up and learn spells for 3 parties before going into Kefka's Tower. Argh.
And as others have said, I grew up with FF1 and Dragon Warrior, so I know all about endless grinding for silver swords and L4 magic in Elfland. Doesn't mean I have to like it. :)
