Do you see Grinding as a bad thing?

It's only bearable if it allows one to do something else while grinding in a game. A lot of Disgaea 3 which I finished (story part...) today is designed around grinding: and that means a lot of things I will never see - why waste so much time grinding when you can play another game, or do something else and fresh?

Anyway, boo.

The grinding is completely optional in Disgaea.

As you said you finished the main story, the grinding comes after that if you want to explore more of the game and side stories.

I know it's optional, but that does not stop me from being annoyed at the stupid entry barrier into the side things.

Grinding is especially annoying in Disgaea and its 100500 different characters: I hope it's a streamlined thing since then.
