I think VIII is the first game in the series to actually make it worth your while to grind to godhood and even then I don't think its worth it.
That isn't exactly what I meant. Necrosaro was still alive after I had dealt 150k~ish damage to him when his actual HP in final form is only like 3k or something if I recall correctly. I can't speak for Dragon Quest III, since IV was the only one where I maxed a character to 99 [and I maxed out the main hero of Dragon Quest I as well, but the max level in that game was 30].
