I think part of my issue is that I'm jumping from XV, which had a fairly decent camera unless you were fighting something big on the screen. XIII's feels jerky in comparison, but it was likely because there wasn't much reason to make the camera free-form.

Yes and no? I've heard the same thing, but I've honestly won them with 5-Star ratings as well. I'm guessing you always have a chance for them to drop, but the chance rises with a lower score, just as normal drops rise with a good score.

But I'm looking for biological materials that raise the XP potential of items. They're the items I wish would drop more. I get like maybe two from a battle if I'm lucky. I would prefer if they dropped in stacks of five tbh.
