    It’s only grindy if you’re trying to 100% it. I’ve blazed though it multiple times without grinding at all, though maybe that’s because I’m so familiar with it.

      If you fight every encounter in the game, you can probably 100% it too (in terms of completing all the quests). You might have to do some of them in a particular order, and grinding will definitely make some of them easier, but it’s definitely not a game I would call grindy.

      Though some people do consider a game to be grindy if running away from most random encounters and only fighting the bosses isn’t enough to get to the end, lol

          Oh yeah, but most people don’t do that. I think if you want to 100% complete any RPG, it’ll be grindy. Or require a strategy guide. Or both.
