I actually really liked the battle system and thought it was nice to have something different for a change.
No, GFs are mainly used to mercilessly annihilate anything that stands in your way. Now, I don't have a problem with merciless annihilation, but I'd like more than one way of doing it. In VI, VII, IX, and X, for example, there were innumerable ways to wreak havoc, and bosses that actually posed a level of challenge. The fight against Yunalesca serves as a good example; there are a bunch of good ways to annihilate her, but you've got to exercise skill and timing in doing so. The Weapons in VII fulfill this role. It's a pity that there aren't more of them.
