Holy hell what is it with Sega RPGs and the need to grind so heavily. I get that this was a pretty standard feature in this era of JRPGs, but every time I think I find a game with the most horrendous grinding possible, I play a Sega JRPG with worse. Shining in the Darkness is literally just grinding. I played a solid five hours and progressed so little beyond basic character growth. I know a lot of people like this game, so this is just a failure for me to engage this type of video game, but I couldn't get anything out of this. 2/6
