Message: [QUOTE="Pandaprewmaster325, post: 68548, member: 217919"] Wait did I read that right? "Mainstream audience" isn't final fantasy one of the most if not the most famous Japanese RPG title? Having many many effects on the gaming landscape? Isn't it enough? No? And the grinding isn't really that bad there is enough random encounters which guess what? Are a core part of final fantasy identity for you to level up enough to face anything well unless its FF5 or 1 where you do need a little bit of clapping monster cheeks to get by I think grinding is about the mindset I see it as a way of training and honing my skills. But I think that's how most old RPGs work in diablo 2 for example leveling up is pretty slow but the game provides you with enough enemies to kill and extra dungeons and loot to find to get by I seen criticism of D4 having characters level up too quickly. If the leveling up process in 8 wasn't so smooth then idk what is and in that game you can even halve the rate of random encounters for speed sake it has a downside but that's one way to hasten your run through the game and you can even do no encounters at all which I think is a horrible choice. But final fantasy is a slow paced game shortest game (ff1) took me 25 hours to beat on level 35 faster paced games are more attention grabbing but I think its again part of the final fantasy experience the game being quite lengthy and not going under 20 hours [/QUOTE]
