Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in story mode where missions lack variety and objectives, leading to a feeling of monotony akin to doing homework. Even after extensive playtime, the grind to level up characters becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable experience, as reaching maximum levels requires significant time investment.

None of the missions had different objectives; it was just play ____ and defeat ____, making it very repetitive and boring. Eventually, it felt more like having to do homework rather than having fun killing the enemies.”
- “I've played for just about 150 hours, and the offline game gets repetitive when you reach the highest skill level. You're basically just grinding to level characters so you can have more diverse gameplay, and getting a character to max takes a lot of rounds.”
