  From an outsider point of view most of the battles in RPGs (be it Japanese
style or western style) seem pointless and boring. However, somehow when
you actually play the game, it can be quite addictive. (Why do you think
these games sell so much?)
  It's not only about mindless killing. It's about combat tactics and
leveling up.
