"Grinding" is rarely a pain in FF games, I feel, because the flow of shiny new abilities is pretty constant. In 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10 you're building up AP for spells & abilities...8 requires more abstract ways of powering up (stocking up on magic via card playing & refining).

For me, at least, if I'm not making story progress because I have to grind for a while, then it's a pain, whether I get new abilities or not. And especially late game, you're going to get very few new abilities while you grind to beat the final area/boss.
