overpowered bosses

They're usually optional bosses so yeah

I like grinding, its like shutting your brain off and relaxing to me.

True, the Mario RPG titles don't have this issue

one thing I like about some of the WRPGs that I've played in recent years is that they tend to have a finite amount of enemy fights, so you couldn't even grind if you wanted to.

you also have to explore and do side-missions to have enough exp to be strong enough for the bosses you come across.

But I want the game to last. Even if there's some tedium, if it's the very last thing the game has for you, at least the option to keep going is there.
Xenoblade 1 reminded me so much of FFX that I ended up pretty disappointed there were no Dark Aeons/Penance or monster arena.

I feel like this is mostly a jrpg issue.

its you choice to make battles difficult or easy.

only if you want an easier battle, you have to put in the time.

personally I call for the end of RNG rare item drops.

Or you can git gud and do shit like FFX's various no sphere grid challenges lol

Git Gud.

only have to grind if ur bad at the game

<.< beating a game at low levels by exploiting stuff that makes additional stats past a certain point a mere formality

I can't really think of that many games where grinding is even particularly worthwhile for anything mandatory. Basically only a few points in some of the Ys games where they balanced the level curve poorly in a game where one level has comically huge effects.

I can't think of a recent game that's overtly grindy, outside of Disgaea.

Didn't lost odyssey have a anti grind system?

The grind is the best part of the game, IMO.
