I like to be low so the boss fights are harder and last longer.

You ever play tales of vesparia? You are forced to grind in that.

I hated that game because every battle was easy as shit, but then the boss would be ridiculously hard and require you to kill hundreds of little monsters that could never kill you. just to fight him.

Unless I'm playing a really hard game where I know I'll always be underleveled, I try out the boss as soon as possible and only grind if I can't find any way to beat it at my current level. It's very satisfying to beat it just barely, but it's also nice to come back later and punish that boss you just couldn't beat at all earlier.

Only thing I hate is when I can't figure out whether I can't beat the boss because I suck or because I'm underleveled.

The problem is that the difficulty shouldn't be bugged. No matter what difficulty you pick, bosses would be crazy hard, and literally every other monsters would be incredibly easy, so easy they could never kill you and are not even a challenge to fight.

You would have to change the difficulty before and after every boss fight. And I just couldn't stand changing the difficulty, I never do that in games.

I always grind, and always play the most grind-friendly way that have the best grain per effort spent grinding yield.

In the same way some people like self imposed challenge, I like to find the most efficient way to grind. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I never grind in RPGs. Unless I am way under leveled, or there is something I rare item I want.

>>9723011
From what I remember, the bosses weren't particularly hard. Then again, I played Vesperia a long time ago. I replayed Legendia, which is my favourite one, not too long ago, and it was fairly easy, same with Abyss. I honestly can't remember the bosses being hard in Vesperia.

>> No.9723255

>>9722985
That really depends.
Normally I don't grind, and I enjoy it more if the boss fight is hard.

If I see the normal monsters are raping me, I see it as a hint that I'm underleveled and then I start grinding.

If the local shop has a lot of equipment that I can't buy, I start grinding for money. There's a certain logic with that, you don't know for sure what level you are supposed to be in a certain part, but if the equipment is there available for purchase then you can assume you are supposed to have it (normally).

After I finish the game, if it's a game I really liked, I take my last save and start grinding to create the perfect team with all the best equipments and so on. I usually did this with Final Fantasy game.
The most time I spent on grinding was on FFX to beat the fucking "Penance\Der Richter".

I don't usually grind when I can get away with it, so it adds a little more challenge. I do grind in the ones where levels and stats mean absolutely everything though, like most turn-based games.

Grinding is pretty pointless, as it takes out all the fun of battles.

Last time I didn't grind in an RPG was a few years ago when I was trying to finally beat FFX without letting it alone for 4-7 months and forgetting the whole story. I ended up getting stuck at some boss, and I couldn't go back to level myself up to beat him, same thing happened to me in Phantasy Star a few years before then.

I haven't played a lot of RPGs since then, but I've always grinded before a boss. I think I'm going to start grinding less and saving more, though.

>> No.9723378

I hate grinding. I stop playing games that have grinding.

>> No.9723417

Sometimes. I don't usually do it in the main game, only in the post-game if everything there is 100x stronger than I am and I want to see the bonus stuff. Only times I do it in the main game are when I already beat the game. I was bored enough to play FFII on the GBA and grind up until I had level 16 Cure, level 6 Holy, some other high level magic and 6000 HP along with weapons in Mysidia before I even got Mythril.

>> No.9723518

I only kill enough to become strong enough to kill creatures in the area and stop when it takes longer than a few battles to level up.

I never understood the whole leveling thing anyway. Why get stronger if the monsters get stronger? Wouldn't it be the same to just let you and the monsters stay the same level and just buy better weapons and skills to deal with them as the game goes on? I understand it in (older) MMORPGs as it lets you distribute your skills, but in JRPGs, you're going to have mostly fixed stats anyway.

The only game I like grinding in is Diablo 2, so that I can turn the game back to normal and blaze through the act.

I have been avoiding enemies most of the time in Radiant Historia and everything was smooth until chapter 5.
Then enemies started to get annoying and because they don't show up their level I don't know how much I'd have to grind. Also it seems like I'm stuck in an area where I can't rest, so I think I'd have to travel back in time or maybe swap Timelines until I get a nice grinding place with a town close.
