Popular games and series you just don't get

[Mirage]

Disgaea. I love what the series represents, but good lord that grind... I have no idea how people manage to stomach hundreds of battles just over and over..

You can stop the game after the main story

I put some time into the first one, and one of the things that did it in for me was the fact that everything required battle grinding. The kicker was for equipment. You had to enter that equipment and fight a battle. 10 battles, minimum I believe. To unlock an exit where your progress was kept for that item and it got a level up. If you want to level up your equipment, you then have to fight 10 battles for each piece of equipment. So if you want like level 2 equipment for your party, you then have to fight 100 non-essential battles. I'm sure I've forgotten some of the specifics, so this is likely not entirely true. But the issue itself still stands. You have to grind inside equipment, a lot. No thanks...

You don't need to start leveling up equipment until you're planning on take down the postgame bosses. Also, you can use a mr gency's exit to leave before 10 battles are up. Also, people don't actually fight those item battles, they just beeline to the exit without fighting, treating it more like a puzzle stage.

Like i said, you don't need to grind for the story part of the game.
