Pic-related is more of an action RPG, but turn-based encounters exists as well.

It is meant for people who REALLY like grinding and random encounters. It'll also make sure you'll stop liking them.

FF5 has lots of room for grinding, and DQ3 lets you reclass most of your team and they go back to level 1, so you could theoretically grind forever.

You have status affect, buff, and debuff spells. Use them more. The game is actually designed around them.

FFV grinding was really satisfying. I normally try to rush as much as I can, but I ended up maxing out everything in FFV.

But all mmorpgs are shit, you can talk about the glory days of Ragnarok and Ultima all you want, but that's not what mmorpgs are anymore. They haven't been for a long time.

Lufia & The Fortress of Doom
Legend of Legaia

Both of those basically require grinding.

I blame FF for making people think JRPGs are all about grinding. Such useless status effects, buffs, and debuffs in that series. You never use them against trash mobs because you can easily kill them by mashing attack, and then the bosses are all immune to that shit anyway.

>> No.3338240

>>3337525
The biggest problem is that FF isn't made by actual game designers, who can see the problem of having a bunch of spells be essentially useless a lot of the time, and the game be so easily breakable.

Square's games are pretty good but they have generally been less polished, though. With the exception of Chrono Trigger, but I'm sure that's because of Yuji Horii's own involvement in its development.

>But all mmorpgs are shit
In our opinion, yes. And I wouldn't make an exception for "the glory days of Ragnarok and Ultima" but considering the success of a lot of them your question is easily answered with the people who play those games every day.
