5. The battle system is too easy for me. I'll admit that it's intense, but it's just not FF to me.
4. I hate that there are no towns.
3. I really don't like how the story is presented. To be honest, it is MUCH too linear for my tastes. Run towards destination, fight, run towards destination, watch cutscene. And repeat. I'd rather have the cutscenes and gameplay separate. I can't really keep the story in my head if I'm constantly in these battles. That said, the story isn't anything mind-blowing so far.
2. If I wanted realistic characters, I wouldn't be playing JRPGs... nothing against Sazh, but really...?
1. Multiplatform = More money = Best FF in the series? What?

I don't disagree with your statement, but I got to ask, what chapter are you? Because when you get to the final chapters, trust me, it's going to be all but easy, especially if you start doing missions.

Sorry, I guess I worded it wrong.  What I meant is that it's sort of... too simple?  I haven't really reached the point where I feel accomplished from constantly Paradigm Shifting and auto-battling.  I've definitely had my share of hard battles, no doubt there.

It's a bit simple for most of the game, especially if you just hang around for the main story. Outside a couple of bosses, the main story doesn't ask much from the battle system. 

But outside the story, the battle system starts to shine, especially on Later missions and fights against Adamantoises. You cannot use auto-battle on those fights, mainly because you'll have to follow precise patterns, or otherwise you're good as dead, even with fully developed characters and everything maxed out.
