I do. But when I got as far as beating the final final final ... final boss to half of his health and then dying, and not seeing a chance at finishing without hours of repetitive grinding, I say "screw it" and im proud to be strongwilled enough to make that decision. It sucks, because I honestly liked the atmosphere, story,characters and battle system up to that point.

Itīs a problem with lots of jrpgs, though. Iīve never finished a Final Fantasy-game because of that shit, even though I played every single one, starting with FF7. :/

Thatīs why I prefer jrpgs that focus on their plot and world building, without making the game itself frustrating. Thatīs why Xenoblade Chronicles and Skies of Arcadia are my favorite jrpgs of all times.
