I played VII - X when they came out, X was pretty bad. None since VII had any content worth powering through for; if you don’t dig it, I wouldn’t recommend it.

- dehrmann 3y ago> JRPGs are extremely grindy and the opposite of time-efficient Good point. I've played Pokemon and South Park: Stick of Truth, so maybe I've had enough of a taste of JRPGs to know what they're about. I wonder if the grinding was because content was expensive to produce, so it's a lazy way to add gameplay, and their target market is kids who will happily grind if it's a video game (vs. a piano).
- djur 3y agoNah, grinding was (and remains) in CRPGs with adult audiences. Some people just really like it. These days people, adult people with jobs and families, will pay a monthly fee just to grind.
- kqr 3y agoThere are SNES emulators for Android. With time compression, some of the worst of the grinding goes away. I still haven't finished it, but I got further in FF6 in the past year than I did before, thanks to that. (I have very little patience for grinding.)
