By default, considering the campaign only (not DLC), FE starts from an inherently anti-grinding position. Games like Conquest are praised for being aggressively anti-grinding, but in fact grinding opportunities are limited in the majority of FE games.
This is in stark contrast to typical RPG design, where grinding is at the heart of it, and tactics are de-emphasized.
So in short, exceptions to the rule.
