While playing Final Fantasy X-2 just now, I came across an early game boss that I wasn’t able to steamroll past. I actually had to grind in the area (carefully, since some of the enemies were stronger than me) in order to be strong enough. The idea annoyed me at first but I felt very satisfied once I was able to win. 

This game was made in 2003, a time where graphics improved greatly but older gameplay elements like grinding were still used commonly. I don’t doubt they’re still difficult RPGs out there but I haven’t heard or played any in recent years that have the fine balance between time and determination.

It’s funny, I never imagined the day where I’d be the old gamer yearning for yesteryear, yet here we are.
