What's with the hate for turn based RPGs?

Funny you mention grinding is a way to make games longer. You're right. But you can abuse the grinding system to beat the game faster. In Pokemon, if you grind to level 15/20 at the very start of the game. Which X/Y has made that extremely easy now. You can clear the entire game with one Pokemon, in two days.

 

Yeah but you'd better REALLY love battling or else you risk getting sick of the game on day one lol. It's happened to me before. 

Never happend to me, personally. I've done it many times. Barvely default was a fun test. I wanted to see how high you needed to be at the start. To be able to handle the whole game. Without getting stuck at grind points. I had to be level 30 to be able to play nonstop. With its fast foward and increase random encounters. I was able to do it within a week.
