well firstly the loading times were a joke... you have to watch ten seconds of blank screen before the enemy intro appears then finally you see your characters. The ATB fills incredabley slow at the start of the game so battles are far too long. But by the end battles are still too long because enemies have a huge amount of HP and the only way to do good damage is to cast Flare/holy/bahamut and the animation for these is a long process. In fact for all the bosses in memoria is was just a real pain casting flare and bahamut 50 times till they died.
It might just be beacause i played FFX before playing this one, and battles in X all take specific aproaches and/or strategy where you can plan moves ahead etc. Every battle is different. Even FFVIII wasnt as repetetive for random battles
