Have you ever participated in an unusual amount of whatever grinding in a game?
I just finished leveling up to 100 in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It was a lot faster than you'd think

Once upon a time, namely four (or so) years ago, I started playing MapleStory.
Around two years ago, or so, I stopped playing MapleStory.
From that day forth, I swore that I would never grind again, and I haven't broken my vow since. |

| I remember playing Pokemon red and at the time did not know how to get rid of the old man blocking the way, so insted I spen ages leveling up my Charmander to level 25 and then found out that you had to deliver a parcell to Oak, ended up wizing past the first 4 gim leaders before needing training again. |

 I'm not really a big fan of grinding. The only time I've really sought it was in order to get to the last rank in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and then again in order to beat the optional super-boss. Even though I purposefully went to it, though, I didn't really enjoy it. Fighting the same enemies over and over and over again. Only the music kept me interested.
In Pokemon, I never really have to grind, since I have sort of a "never run away from a fight" style that usually leaves me stronger than the next gym leader.

Ragnarok DS...with a process.
Novice: head to the first cave and kill a few V.Bats and Beetles for JLv10
Lower Job: head to the labs, killing things on the way for ~20 JLv. Earn the rest on the top floor from Baphomet Jr., Mimics, and the like until at JLv30
Higher Job: head to the labs, killing things on the way for ~8 JLv. Earn the rest on the bottom floor from mainly Isilla and Alice, sometimes Remover and Diabolique. Stop at JLv30, but if (somehow) BLv <50, increase that.
Limit break back to Novice, do it all again except with +20 Stat points compared to before (if Blv <50, +10 instead)

I could do it when I was younger...I can't really anymore. Probably too much time overlevelling in Final Fantasy games.
If I have to grind in a game for whatever reason nowadays it usually results in me turning off the game in disgust :/ |

Every time I buy a 3D JRPG, most of the time I feel incredibly ripped off. It's like RPGs went to shit when they went 3D honestly. The only one I've liked recently was Dragon Quest IX.
The only game I've maxed up my level in is MOTHER 2 on MOTHER 1+2 (Beating MOTHER games are easy even if you don't know a word of Japanese)

Borderlands is the only game I'll be willing to grind.
But I have fun doing it.

I still grind in Runescape
I grind all the time in Zelda Classic and other games.
And I don't mind grinding at all.

FFT: A2 have been quite a bit of grinding in... I have still yet to beat the "last boss" simply due to there being quests I have not done yet!
Digimon world (DS, Dusk, Lost evolution): I tend to grind quite a bit in dusk and DS, but lost evolution actually have less grinding in the main gamplay, which is good. =)
Not to mention the current MMO I'm playing is quite a bit of a grind feast.

I normally hate grinding, but it's actually enjoyable in Star Trek Online. If you don't feel like fighting, you can get experience points for exploring unknown sectors. You also get treated to a Spock monologue

Actually, I just took on a quest two days ago to raise a Minomon up to level 41 within a week. If you succeed you get to keep him, if not, then, well...
I can't stress how much grinding is related to this. I got him up to level 20 within day one, but I would say it would normally take me at least 2 weeks to get from level 31-41 alone.
