You obviously didn't play the game past level 1 or 2. Yangus gains a skill called "Whistle" at like level 4, that allows you to summon monsters to you. No 'mindless wandering around' there.
Furthermore, out of 2000+ fights clocked on my game (thanks Battle History!), I have *4* flees, and 2 wipeouts (as a result of Dhoulmagus, the first main boss in the game). Again, your tactics must suck, if you were dying that frequently, that you have to flee so often.
You keep referring to 'grinding', yet I didn't have to grind once, I just continued to progress through the game, moving onto the next area, etc. Maybe if you played a little more than 20 minutes of the demo at Walmart, you'd know what I'm talking about.
