While playing Xenosaga today I had time to think about the horrendous thing that is leveling up in RPGs. Everyone knows leveling up is necessary. Some people find it enjoyable, though when it comes down to a Final Fantasy game I don't know how mashing the O button for an hour is fun. I just don't think a necessity like this is fun. In a game like Tales of Symphonia or Grandia 2 where the battle system is enjoyable leveling up is warranted but in a game like Xenosaga its just a chore. Still, I think I'll go back and play it so I can continue the story....woe is me.
