* Happens all the time in ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'', especially if you want all the weapons, upgrades, items, and equipment, you need to grind through side games and levels to afford the bolts for everything, lest you want to keep going through [[New Game+]] over and over.
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' has numerous examples of this over its long history.
** One of the earlier examples is the best equipment in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''
** In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', enemies in [[That One Level|the Pyramid of Moore]] can be farmed for Elixirs, and enemies in the Phoenix Tower can be farmed for the best Dancer equipment and Ribbons.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' gives us the [[Summon Magic|Ragnarok Esper]]'s special ability, Metamorphosis, which transforms an enemy into an item and is a good source for more rare equipment, like Safety Bits and Ribbons. The downside is that in order to take advantage of this, the player is going to spend a ''very'' long time farming on the Veldt.
** Much like ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' has enemies that can, if killed using the weak Morph command, be turned into items. Most notable in this regard are the [[Bonus Dungeon|Sunken Gelnika]] enemies, the majority of which turn into valuable [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] that permanently boost stats.
** Enemies in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' can be turned into Cards, which can subsequently be [[Item Crafting|refined]] into spells that can be junctioned to your characters' stats to boost them and add effects to their attacks and attributes while handily avoiding the [[Level Scaling]]
** The items you can use to [[Item Crafting|upgrade and modify your weapons and armor]] and upgrade your [[Summon Magic|Aeons' stats and abilities]] in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' you can generally only get by [[Video Game Stealing|stealing]] from or bribing particular monsters, in addition to the standards drops and
** Most obvious is ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', in which the only way to get usable amounts of money is to sell loot from monsters. There's also this Bazaar thing, which allows the player to unlock certain maybe rare, maybe valuable items. The best items might require multiples of items only available via the Bazaar, making the full recipe be something like [[Twenty Bear Asses|21 Bear Behinds]], 39 [[Twenty Bear Asses|Ursus Buttocks]], 9 [[Luck-Based Mission|Rare Vicious Monster Ultra Rare Drop Fangs]] and so on.
*** ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' uses the Bazaar system for all equipment, but gives no no control over what items you're getting, so it only kind of counts.
** ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' is similar to ''XII'' in that all money comes from [[Vendor Trash]], and you need certain specific items for [[Item Crafting]]
* Half of ''[[Recettear]]'' (the other half being selling what you've farmed).
* In ''[[Atelier Series]]'' you need to do this to find ingredients for your items.
