I have to object - to this day I’ve played a few turn based jRPGs - FF X, EBF 5, aforementioned P4G, and Trails in the Sky 1 come to my mind, maybe there was one or two more - and some bosses and areas pose a level gap too wide to ignore with just strategy and consumables
I can’t think of a single remotely modern JRPG with required grinding. It’s usually that you have the choice between learning how the game works or overleveling to brute force everything. People then do the latter and don’t even realize the former was an option.
I’ve tried P4G and I just can’t stand the required grind, nor the 3h bossfights, otherwise good game
lol 3h boss fights wtf game were you playing
Persona 4 Golden, though it may have been a result of me just pushing through the dungeon without any grind

Watch a speedrun. They avoid almost all encounters and still nuke bosses in a few turns.
Then skill issue, I guess
Haha yeah must be. Never had fights last that long 😨
JRPG moment 😭
