The grinding in this game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, with many players recommending an easy difficulty to mitigate the frustration. Reviewers note that a significant portion of gameplay is spent on repetitive battles, often leading to a lengthy playtime primarily due to the grinding required to keep up with enemy levels. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a major detractor from the game's enjoyment.
“One of the worst offenders of 'more = better,' and by more I mean more enemies and grinding.”
“Pro-tip: don't set the game to normal difficulty unless you want to play a 20+ hour game where 95% of that game is fighting tedious battles.”
“I predict the average playtime to finish the game is going to be massive not because of the game's content, but due to how much of your life you need to dedicate to grinding XP.”
