The battle system was hideous... having to find an enemy with a fairly strong magic and draw-draw-draw for an hour to build up your character's junctions and make them stronger got really boring.

The answer to battles was always to just sit summoning GFs as they were so overpowered compared to the normal attacks (the GF animations were really long, too)

Otherwise it was great, I loved the story and the characters. I did miss the non-human characters you normally have though. The only thing I didn't like was the battle system, and unfortunately that's one of the major things that make an FF. After all, without it, it's just a movie.
