grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the global immersion, the necessity of learning languages and managing currencies can feel tedious. Auto-attacks are useful for reruns, but many feel that grinding is not essential to progress, with designated areas available for those who enjoy it.
- “While the global immersion is appreciated, the need to learn new languages and exchange currencies becomes tedious fast—more chore than charm, and rarely adds meaningful depth.”
- “I like to have my team either in assist mode or waiting for my orders by default; the auto attack I only use if I'm rerunning an area to do a little grinding. Though the way this game is structured, I'd say you can probably get by without it or without much of it.”
- “But there are points on the world map that are for grinding random encounters, should you enjoy that.”
