Well yeah the first few games do, but I haven't noticed it in later entries. You never have to wander around in circles to gain levels in order to defeat bosses. That's what you mean by grind, right? I say that because that's what everyone else means, but sometimes your definitions differ a bit. All you need to do is explore the world and try not to run so much from the encounters you'll naturally get from doing that, and you'll be more than powerful enough.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
