My perspective is that life is waaaaaaayy too short for grinding. It's hard to think of something less worthwhile to do with my time.

Meanwhile you play fancy galaga games that have zero story, zero progression, zero achievements of any notable kind...you just shoot stuff and move through levels. Or you play fighting games that...again, have zero story, zero progression (outside of your own skill level), zero anything to reward you for playing. How is that more worthwhile? It's cool in an RPG when you actually have something to show for the effort you put in, like a maxed out party with sweet ass gear. I love reaching that peak of power in a game, it's more satisfying than anything else in the whole medium

Earthbound is surprisingly grindy because everything is weak sauce until you hit the boss which will obliterate you if you haven't done your grinding

Earthbound is absolutely nasty early on but eases up once you've got the full party. It's one of those games where I'm impressed people were able to beat it back in the day without any assistance from guides/message boards.
