Menu grinding refers to the act of changing set-ups for characters before entering a battle, often a boss battle, or a particular location. This often implicates basic things like restoring HP, but can also extend to switching equipment to suit elements or protect against statuses, changing job classes, or switching abilities. Menu grinding is more necessary if a player has not sufficiently leveled up. In Final Fantasy VIII, the player may take SeeD quizzes in the menu to increase salary, and spells junctioned may be modified to suit the desired stats.
