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.
