Either FF3 DS or Star Ocean 2 for me.

Honorable mention to Tales of Phantasia, but that ended after Morlia Mineshaft. It feels like they screwed up and overleveled all the monsters in Morlia by like 15 levels. Never had to grind again after that.

Yep. Really liked the world, the characters, the tone, everything about this game...except for the fact that it was the original P2W and you'd never actually get anywhere unless you got out daddy's credit card.

Any 8bit RPG, really. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Mother. Grinding was like, at least 50% of the gameplay.

Probably Diablo II. You don't absolutely *need* to grind if you know what you're doing, but it's very much encouraged with the loot system / rarity of good items, skill trees, etc. and the ease with which you can do it (since most quests and all areas are reset when you create a game).

The Disgaea games are also obvious candidates. And SMT / Persona if you count grinding for demons and Personas.

How is there any right answer other than Maple? Literally the whole game is grinding.

disgaea d2 needs you to do 250 reincarnations at lv9999 in order to max out your base stats, 127% dislikes for the maximum heart's shadow boost, and you have to clear thousands of floors to maximize an item's stats
plus you gotta max weapon mastery, farm the necessary innocents to make grinding reasonable in the first place, and level up your skills so they deal more damage

phantasy star online 2 is really fucking stupid with its grinding and farming
the original is pretty bad; when you get to lv150 or so it ends up that each next level takes more exp than all the previous levels combined

World of Warcraft

I even got the Insane in the Membrane achievement which involves gaining maximum rep with eight or so factions that were never really implemented fully, so you could only become exalted with them by massively grinding. I ran the Dire Maul dungeon probably five hundred times and was one of the worst things to ever happen to the ogre population.

Celtic heroes for mobile. The game is actually fun as fuck with a cool world and classes, but after level 90(there's 220 levels), it's nothing but grinding, and if you don't want to spend 90 hours getting from 90 to 220, you gotta drop real cash, with the average player spending $200-$400 to speed the process up.

Pokmon Gold probably. Those legendary creatures (like the dogs) were total dicks. The egg system. 250 Pokmon. Although the regular game was fine. And Ruby had that Pokmon whose evolution was totally dependent on random shit - Milotic.
