YES. This. And, yet I didn't mind grinding a bit in FFV, but that was because you were actually rewarded for your efforts with new tricks.BlackandBlueMage said:
Depends - sometimes I'm in the mood for grinding, most of the time I'm not.
If you *have* to grind to get somewhere, I don't like it.
Once played an MMO where there was not enough quests to effectively level up your character's two classes (one was fine, but doing the other class was really annoying, but it's something you really want to do for the shared abilities), and it made me quit the game.
Just not much fun in endlessly killing mobs for the sake of killing mobs.

On my new PSP I got Phantasy Star Portable 2 and its non-stop grind. Yet I find it such a kick ass game.
On my DS - my two most played games are DQ 9 and Disgaea - Those games are nothing but grind.
Grinds have their place.

Depends on the game. In Final Fantasy IX I was perfectly happy to just walk around for hours bashing monsters over the head and levelling up (possibly because I got to see all the various characters earning individual abilities which was a more definite reward) but in FFVII I was just trying to finish the damn game.
I guess it kind of depends on the story, for some reason I never got a sense of urgency from FFIX until after the third disk, by which point I was already a ridiculously high level, so it didn't matter, whereas games like Mass Effect or KoToR try and keep the theme or urgency throughout, which rings a bit false when you can take some time out to go exploring for minerals in the middle of your 'frnatic galactic quest.'
But I do still do it anyway. It's a puzzle.

In theory, I hate it, yet I have played games with lots of grind and not noticed. I guess so long as I'm moving towards a defined goal and am making noticeable progress, it doesn't bother me too much.
It depends. There is fun grinding, and then there's boring grinding.
I don't mind the kind of grinding where you have to beat the crap out of everything you can see, but when you're getting no experience for battles that take ten minutes of menu-scrolling...hell no.

Really? I thought it was really easy in comparison to older ones. Wait till you get to the very final boss...you're either going to be relieved, or really REALLY disappointed.ciancon said:
I spent 12 hours killing the same monster again and again in MHFU to get new armour. I don't mind grind at all.

OT: Depending on the game and the circumstances involved I can stand a minimal amount of grinding. Interesting gameplay while grinding or having some way of seeing that my working is actually getting me somewhere helps ease my annoyance.
Case in point-Ginding faction rep in wow can be annoying if I don't pace myself or if I don't have a buddy along with me,but getting that mount or other special item makes me forget whatever mild irritation I may have had.
