It’s only grindy if you’re trying to 100% it. I’ve blazed though it multiple times without grinding at all, though maybe that’s because I’m so familiar with it.

If you fight every encounter in the game, you can probably 100% it too (in terms of completing all the quests). You might have to do some of them in a particular order, and grinding will definitely make some of them easier, but it's definitely not a game I would call grindy.

Though some people do consider a game to be grindy if running away from most random encounters and only fighting the bosses isn't enough to get to the end, lol

I was more thinking of getting all Gau’s mimics as being extra grindy.

Oh yeah, but most people don't do that. I think if you want to 100% complete any RPG, it'll be grindy. Or require a strategy guide. Or both.
