I like grinding because I like to play the game.

It's because fights don't take fifteen minutes including the loading.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I can whole-heartedly say that I adore grinding in Tales of games, as in Star Ocean, and Persona.

Heck, I have nothing against grnding at all.

I don't mind grinding in any game. I consider it a necessary part of any game. I'd spend entire nights - totaling probably 20 or 30 hours per playthrough - in DQVIII searching for Metal King Slimes. Just seeing one was a joy on it's own. If they hung around long enough to get an attack off, bonus! :P



It's all about the game.

I hardly ever grind in pokemon but I hate battleing the Elite 4 so much grinding. Its too much and too long



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I remember doing that exact same thing for DQIV.

OT: I don't mind grinding myself for any game really, unless the battles are long and boring. Then I find it a chore, and usually try and finish the game as quickly as I can and get it over with. No side quests, no enjoying talking to the NPC's, or delving further into the game.

pokemon is the only series where us nerds can take it on the go and battle other nerds for nerd supremacy :D in that sense it's a badge of honor to grind.
