How is that true when most of the first half you're in party battles and nor only Lloyd?

 

When you're in town, or generally not in battle, the other players are purely spectators. I found that really dull, and I liked Symphonia overall. By contrast, in Mana you control your character all the time. That makes it feel better to me, and to most people I know.
