I think Grinding is inevitable, the sad thing is RPGs dont even give you a bit of help. They make you grind for 20-30 hours when it should be more like 5 or 10 maximum. It is too excessive.

FFX sphere grid gives me loads of fun and so do th side quests but they make you battle for hours to fill it and capture 10 of each monster. Why not 1 or 5? No. had to make it 10.
