I'm on the other end of the spectrum. The battle system was the only good thing about the game.
The pacing was horrid and enemies went from ridiculously easy to WTF (approaching 4d world).

Wth happenened to Fayt, Maria and the other girl's (sophia or something) powers. They were hyped so much and rarely used for anything not even to defeat the final boss, not as battle skills, absolutely nothing. At least the last girl got them into 4d, thats about it. Fayt took down the vendeeni ship by accident and never used his power again. Maria's was only ever used as a "demo". To surmise, the story was horribly underwhelming and the endings were even worse.

All together, I expected more but was disappointed. The only fun thing was souping up to battle the secret bosses especially freya. Even that was more trouble than it should've been because the battle system wasn't well done thanks to terrible AI. Battles were still fun though when they weren't frustrating.

I can respect very good points but let me clarify few things...The 3 powers actually were used in game Fayt = Etehreal Blast, Maria power was about inhancemen hence status altering magic.. Sophita was dimension pass hence her spells the open portals to demon world... but overall your right they wernt used for much and pacing was bad I definitely agree. let me guess u lved AI stats all up to 10 huh?

Ethereal blast looked a lot different from what he used to take down the vendeeni ship but if thats the case, its ok. However, you dont get that skill till after the game so it still wasnt necessary to beat lucifer.

Yup I levelled everything and everyone to max (255 if I remember correctly was the max lvl) and had to rely on the uber-fayt strategy to defeat freya anyway cos the dumb AI kept running into ether srtike even when I placed sophia especially at the corner of the battle area. Fayt had 5000 defense through buffs so I just used him to solo freya. This is also why I appreciate gambits in FF12 while most hate them. IDK if they would prefer AI like in SOTET.
