* ''{{The 7th Saga}}'' for the SNES is known for the insane amount of time it takes to level up.
** The monsters are difficult, the experience is low, and if you level up too much, due to a [[GameBreakingBug bug]] the game is {{Unwinnable}}.
** The bug in question: The other potential [=PCs=] would level up as you do. At somewhere around level 45, the cleric type learns a spell that restores all his HP... and for no good reason, also all his MP. He's essentially immortal at that point. The other potential [=PCs=] would also sometimes steal your plot coupons, requiring you to duel to take them. If the Cleric ganked one late in the game, he'd be literally impossible to beat, since the AI isn't dumb enough to forget it has healing spells.
* ''GinormoSword''. You spend more time level grinding than you do fighting bosses, upgrading equipment, and moving around the map combined.
* In ''StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'', the highest level your characters can reach is 255, so it goes without saying that much LevelGrinding is needed to achieve this level without the aid of a cheat disk. Luckily, for normal gaming purposes, there is no need to reach such a high level unless you plan on taking on [[BonusBoss Freya]].
