5. only 3 people in a party!?- Hey, that's not just FFVIII!!!

Well, FFVII made up for that flaw, and FFX made it too easy with the "switching people in battle" thing, and FFX-2 just plain sucked.

6. if you run away from a battle, you have to go into menus.- Not only FFVIII.

I think FFX had it too...

7. too many camera angles- I don't think so.

FFIX also had that problem, especially when a battle starts.
