Most people don't "grind" in an RPG because it's needed to beat it. They grind because they're enjoying it so much they want to get that Level 99 and extend the amount of time they're playing the game.I'm kinda surprised you didn't know that.
>>12490194Hot take.
Go back to/v/ frog fucker
Yes, most RPGs don't actually require grinding at all. Often people grind because it's a soothing, meditative activity. You can grind while listening to music or watching a video.
>>12490194I grind to make boss fights easier, because I play RPGs to relax not to stress like a Japanese salaryman. RPGs that scale enemy levels to maintain some arbitrary challenge are universally dog shit.
>>12490194Maybe in modern RPGs specifically. Definitely not in /vr/ RPGs.
>>12490194FF7 is really good for grinding, there are so many things to level up with all the materia.
>>124902078-bit RPGs often take some grinding. 16-bit and later it's rarer for grinding to be required.A lot of games also have you "grind" by getting lost exploring dungeons.
>>12490194Grinding is a lot more fun when you can see the enemies before battles like in Chrono Trigger. Random battles that just pop up with some swirl effect trigger the same kind of effect a phone alarm does. You're busy doing something and it practically jump scares you, and then you have to stop what you're doing and deal with it. But when you can see the enemies on the screen it puts you in the active role of chasing them down to initiate the battle, which is more gamey, but it also gives you a dopamine boost when you catch them and it's just a more positive experience overall.
nah, grinding is usually an admission of retardation that you couldn't do things in an effective way. Which is ok, but the whole point is you're not supposed to like it. That's why it's grinding. >"but I swear I like it"Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Grinding to max level is boring but just taking a break to mindlessly level up against enemies that aren't a threat is relaxing.
>>12490240None of this is true and you sound insecure.
>>12490194the lower the IQ the higher the grind tolerance.
>>12490290My IQ is 160 and I enjoy grinding.
>>12490194If you leveled to 99, you didn't beat the game.
>>12490194>>12490240What's it feel like to invest this kind of effort thinking about how and why people you will never meet are playing video games?
>>12490303of course it is.best get back to repetitive actions for no payoff whatsoever
>>12490334You're posting the same amount as me. Are you getting any payoff out of it?
>>12490201>Often people grind because it's a soothing, meditative activity."People"
>>12490194Edible bait for sure
shut up slippy
>>12490204Why waste your time? Just use cheats and enjoy the game that way.
>>12491235>Why waste your time?look at where you are and what you’re doing
>>12491290Talking to my good friends about games I love!
>>124901941st go, no grinding until superboss defeated>beat the game + all side-quests + superbosses, grind to level 99 to see all cool stuff unlocked by doing so2nd go, no grinding>beat the game + super boss, no side-quests 3rd go, no grinding, run from as many battles as possible>beat the game + side quests + super boss,4th go, use cheats to block gaining experience>survive
>>12491330Nice. I usually go from 1 to 3. Run from as much as possible to get the least exp but get some of the cool sidequest rewards. That's how to replay.
>>12490194Yuji Horii has admitted that first time he played Wizardry he was so focused on leveling up his party he wasn't even aware you were supposed to find and defeat Werdna to win the game and by the time he found out, his party was so strong that it was no challenge at all.
>>12490194>This new spell is kinda fun, let me try some combos!>Accidentally over level >Entire chapter/area is piss easyAmazing, jrpgs punish you for fighting and learning mechanics by making the game braindead.
>>12491470The solution to the JQ (jarpig question) is to drop the games entirely, and if you must just watch a Let's Play at 2x speed.
>>12491358Yep the entire genre should have autobattles and auto pathfinding and actually all RPGs should be idle games you just watch, since their "activities" are just a facade, an illusion, you aren't doing anything at all except holding forward and hitting confirm over and over
>>12491314Get a load of this kid and the shit the voices in his head are telling they/them
>>12491235>cheatsdidn't beat
