I recently posted about my favorite one!

@Broco

the 3DS “untold” remakes. Especially in the EO2 remake, there was a new option of making progress in several different directions if you were blocked from going further upward. It had an optional underground dungeon, and it rewarded you with a chart of enemy weaknesses after beating a given type once: so you could struggle to beat your first FOE, and after that easily wipe all of the identical ones on that floor.

Quietly those two changes alleviate the grinding people are complaining about, without tuning the stats down at all. If you feel the ever feel the need to grind, you can instead go “downstairs”, or learn enemy weaknesses to beat them without brute force, or learn enemy weaknesses to grind hyper-efficiently.

There’s other additional content in it like a story mode and orchestral music but I don’t like those, but it’s fine because both of those can be turned off.
