Players note that grinding in the game primarily involves completing quests, farming items, and building relationships, similar to mechanics found in games like Persona, all leading up to challenging end-of-chapter boss fights.
- “The main gameplay revolves around completing quests, item farming, and relationship building, which feels repetitive and tedious over time.”
- “Grinding for items and leveling up becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
- “The constant need to farm for resources detracts from the overall experience and makes the game feel more like a grind than an adventure.”
