Comment on What to play after experiencing Chrono Trigger?

I find the usual large and long SNES/PS1 era JRPGs quite bloated and grindy, to be honest. A while ago I played Phantasy Star IV, which is a lot more lightweight, linear and shorter than say, FF6, and I found that quite refreshing. Maybe you can try that as a change of style.

Phantasy Star II is pretty awesome too.

II is very good, but it does get VERY grindy right at the end.

This is true. I played it when it was new and I had fond memories of insanely grinding SMS PS1, so it seemed normal. The best thing to do is to go to Climatrol and farm Blastoids (they reproduce within a battle and you can get insane EXP by waiting for them to do that).

Yeah, at the time it didn't seem so out of line. I guess I just feel like it hasn't held up as well against modern games as something like Chrono Trigger or FFVI.
