I too just started playing it. It's brilliant in every way except the grinding. Mother fucking GRINDING is the bane of my entire soul. I hate it and I have no idea why anyone, anywhere, would want to do the same thing over and over and over again... ugh.

Then why grind? You can realistically beat the game just going through it, and any grinding that DOES happen can be attributed to level memorization. did you consider it grinding to go back and replay old Mario levels? Naw, it was you learning the levels and how to best them.

The design of the game almost forces the person to grind. Why? Because in a normal game, when you kill an enemy, you keep the damn experience points. They don't go away... they're yours, because you EARNED them. In THIS game, you don't earn shit unless you can traverse miles of fucking beasts and villagers, and safely make it back to the Hunters Dream. If you don't? You're fucked... and guess what? Die trying to get all those experiences points back? They're gone. 

It's ridiculous.
