And as I said, grindng is discouraged since as soon as you get a level advantage enemies give a lot less XP.
Although I got my ass handed to me in the fights I was "supposed to lose" (but it was sooooo sweet to encounter these guys again at the end of the second game to get my revenge ^^). I know a guy who wanted to win those optional fights and max out his levels, and he grinded for 120hours in the first game (while I finished it in 25 hours, and most of it was talking to people)
In fact, running everywhere and talking to everyone after each story mission could be seen as a form of grind, and if it's the case, I grinded like there was no tomorrow. I just HAD to know what happened to these people ^^
