How to make challenge runs less annoying?
I've been FFT 5 times now (blind, completionist, no grind, mage only/no math/no special, one Beastmaster+4 monsters.) Most of these runs were easy enough logistically, although the monster run was annoying because I had to grind out Orator before the Dorter battle.
The last run I wanted to do was 2 normal characters + 3 Mimes. After reviewing the prerequisites for Mime, I'm intimidated by the prospect of doing so much grinding. For the Beastmaster run I let myself over-level because I correctly guessed being over-leveled would be necessary for the main story. Here, grinding out Mime in early game would be game-breaking, and leveling down or using spillover JP adds more work and overhead to an already awful process.
Any suggestions on what to do that doesn't involve extreme tedium?
