How do the chapters in OT work? If you're doing someone else's path, you can just go to another's path and that previous character will level up? How about the rest of the characters? Excessive grinding can be a tiring process and be a roadblock for more gamers than not. Or at the very least it can wear some down to the point they just stop playing the game after realizing how much more grinding they'd have to do. |
JRPGs didn't become super popular until Final Fantasy 7. However there was a very passionate group of niche gamers that really loved the NES/SNES/Genesis era of RPG. Games like Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler are really for that passionate niche, or for younger people who would have been in that niche if they were given the chance. These games are definitely not for everyone, but many of the people who play them like the grind as long as the combat system is good and the monsters are well designed and so on. I remember the first time I played Final Fantasy Tactics I would grind all the time and I just really had a blast.
