    Anything goes!

    Sometimes I trace the edge of the forest, sometimes I push up against the edges of rivers and mountains, sometimes I do figure-eights, sometimes I run circles, squares or rectangles.

    The only one I wouldn't do is horizontal or vertical back and forth with the analog stick.

    Usually when I'm grinding I'm also trying to go somewhere, so I end up doing a long series of loop-the-loops between my starting point and my destination.

    Oh yeah, what I said above doesn't apply with Pokemon. There, I usually run around the edges of the grassy areas in my location.

    Real FF players don't need to walk around and level.

    (I normally level automatically while I'm exploring. I explore a lot, and sometimes when I get into a battle I forget where I'm going and walk back to the beginning by accident.)

    Circles in 3D games, squares in 2D ones. Getting in the rhythm of hitting each direction once is nice.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.
