Grinding the same basic baddies and doing the same routine quests (kill x number of y, collect x number of y) a gazillion times is genuinely mundane.

Not if you're trying new equipment, augments, classes, characters, arts, and discovering areas near where you collect y that you never thought you'd be able to access. Then through that gaining new affinity missions and learning more about the cast of survivors.  

By the time I hit 90 hours I'd tried every class, and the characters and equipment had become samey. And learning about the survivors was no incentive because they were all so boring and lacking charm.
