What's the point of the grid system in RPG mode?

[Guess5050]

I just started the RPG mode, but I don't understand why they brought over the mobile game's grid system to here. In the mobile game, you farm and manage your grid like it is your main/second job, because that is how you clear content. What is the point of introducing a grid where things would never get that hard? Is it just marketing for their mobile game?

Probably fan service and setup for hard mode.

How do you know they won't get hard?

[Teio]

It's probably because it's Cygames.

K OP, show me a video of you killing a random hard mode boss with only a main weapon equipped.

Yes, please.

Just like the mobile game, it's to add depth. There are a ton of different builds you can use in RPG mode. And no, they aren't all alike. You can always just throw whatever into your grid and wing it, but compared to one that's done properly, it will be garbage and your damage will reflect that; making RPG hard mode a total pain in the ass.
