They have announced HD2D remakes for one and two, but that has me wondering what they would have to do to bring them up to more modern standards. One is so bare bones you only get one character in your party (which is lame and boring tbh) and is what? 5 or 10 hrs long if you take your time? LOL....And while 2 had a lot more charm, it was also very short and not much there. If they are remaking these they need to add a ton of content to make them feasible.

No, the volcano room in the post game dungeon is the best and most consistent by far. King Hydras give like 27k exp per party member with 4 members, also run into decent amount of liquid metal slimes there. LMS are too infrequent on slime island to grind to 99 on. Sometimes you run into 3 hydras which isn't a big deal if you grind on dracky mode since they can never kill you, get almost 80k xp for all 3.

Possibel spoiler!!!! My new favorite grind spot is in the post-game dungeon in the lava level (the Orochi cave clone), and where you can fight King Hydra's. Consistent huge xp per fight (like killing 2 liquid metal slimes), and they obviously never run. Metals are so obnoxious. By then you're beefy enough to just fight them normally. Perfect to max out remaining jobs for achiement.

Just a heads up: I see that you're actually selecting flee with the menu and not holding down triangle for an auto flee. I promise you that if you get into the habit of using triangle, grinding is a lot less tedious. It cuts out a few button presses and the confirmation menu, and also shaves off several seconds on non-metal encounters.

@dukey03 I just beat the post-game last night, btw, and frankly, I enjoyed about half of it. The balancing is a bit off after they finally got it right in the late game (early-to-mid game I found way too easy) for the first part (Heaven, Citadel, Xenlon's tower), but any semblance of good game balancing and enjoyment factor really goes out the window in the Temple of Trials (which replaced the GBC version's Ice Cave). That second part felt like the most joyless chore I've experienced in gaming in a long time. You may wanna skip it entirely.

Yes it annoying in fact in order to have a 100% Run rate on a first turn you MUST have at least 1 lv 99 party member but theirs 2 weapon trials one for Boomerang/Claws another Axes/Rods (Staffs only and while you can't DIE on Dracky mode theirs no job class in the ENTIRE game that could use ALL 4 weapons at once. So its impossible to do the Boomerang/Claw trial then attempt the Axe/Rod one and NOT be forced to change jobs then RELEVEL back to lv 99. The Claw/Boomerang classes NONE of them can equip Axes/Rods at once and the same for the Axe/Rod users the classes that can equip those can't use Boomerangs/Claws at all and the Hero can't equip all 4 types either.

Btw if weapons CAN effect Sword Dance/Multifists the Poison Daggers Mage/Thief only would HAVE all 4 hits do 1 damage killing a Metal SLime/Liquid metal one IF all 4 hits do 1 damage AND IT the same random slime for all 4 hits.
