Chrono Cross could also be placed here... I think anyway. Don't remember grinding needing to be done.
Unless you were looking for a specific element...But I don't think they're single-use items like FFVIII's spells.
I haven't gotten far enough in FF13 to get to the point where you need to grind (I'm renting the game and have to return it tomorrow). I will eventually buy it later, the battle system's fun.
The only Bioware game I ever played was Mass Effect 1, and as I said multiple times in the past, my computer can't run it smoothly, so I'm gonna wait until Bioware makes a Mass Effect Trilogy set or something and play it on my 360/better PC, if I ever get one.
On the subject of non-grinding...If you play Pokemon with just your starter, and pick up a Lucky Egg ASAP if it's available, you can get to an absurdly high level by killing every trainer you come across, and smite the Elite Four and the Champion with ease (most of you probably know that already).
