>The actual reason people thought the first game was "grindy" is because most people fucking suck at basic battle strategy
the funniest thing was that we found out levels stat increases fall off a fucking cliff after 20 and never recovers. I grinded once around the chapter 3 sections, realized leveling up did nothing, and changed my party around instead. It means all those retards complaining about grinding basically just wasted their time and never looked and compared their stats after leveling up.

You always have the tools to destroy any boss in OT2, Hikari starts out with the best sword skills in his latent power and they buffed hired help's damage so much that even the earlier summons can hit damage cap 4x. The game also throws a lot of strong equipment at you in early areas, and if you do Partitio's boat quest first you get lategame equipment and a ton of fucking cash from chests collected from sailing around.
I found and unlocked "mythical bore" early and that was a guaranteed 99,999 which means every boss would get "one-shotted" after except for postgame ones. But if I had gone to Gravell instead I would've found the actual strongest physical skill from talking to a guy. No matter what you do, you end up becoming too powerful.

>What did you expect when OT1 was even easier?
Definitely not easier. Travelers were weaker, equipment was harder to get and the advanced jobs in OT1 are at least gatekept by a boss. Whereas one advanced job in OT2 is found outside of Throne's starting area and destroys all random encounters, another is unlocked easily and it also happens to be the best one, and the last two are shit and don't matter. OT1 did have its faults (making every boss that had the bow weakness a joke because of how stupid arrowstorm was) but OT2 is way worse at balancing in that regard.

Why was this game so much easier than the first? Were the devs afraid that retarded journalists would complain about grind and write a bad review?
