Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, requiring significant experience point farming to progress, particularly for the final boss, which is described as frustratingly difficult. Many feel that the time investment in grinding is not justified, especially when faced with overwhelming challenges that can lead to repeated failures.
- “Difficulty is okay, but it requires a lot of XP grinding.”
- “Especially given the awful hours of grinding I was willing to repeat.”
