The thing that killed Xillia 2 for me is that you weren't allowed to grind money. If at any point you ever had more than the payment, the game would harass you every single screen transition to pay it back, even if you already made the mandatory payment. The only way to avoid this was to advance the plot where the next payment would be higher.

You could stall by paying just 1 every time they asked you but it really made the game unfun. You couldn't save up any money for anything.

I swear I do not remember any of this ever happening. How it remember it is at set points during the main story chapters, whats her name will ring you up asking about the debt. From there the sidequests at the board in the towns would update. Every single time those set debt collections come up, a giganto monster without fail shows up as one of the board jobs, and the payout for these was massive.

They weren't even hard fights either, you just did one of these and boom, its way more than enough that not only do you pay the debt then and there (and these gigantos/elite monsters always pop up when she calls again) but you had more than enough gald to spend it on whatever you wanted. There wasn't a single time I needed to grind for money in that game just because of those elite monsters they threw at you.

I played only on hard right from the start also so it wasn't like the difficulty was draining mad money. That really was how generous those giganto/elite monster's payments were for doing them as they showed up on the board.
