Maybe I chose the wrong word. English is not my 1st language so I get a lot of Internet vocabulary...
What I liked about the battle system is that it is quite strategic. You can get to Gran Pulse without using a medic if you do it well. I didn't think it was simplified from previous FF, I used to spam either attack or fire/ice/water/thunder with those (with random encounters). I admit that auto-battle shouldn't be there.
For me, the problem is that 90% of the game is battling, so you do a lot of the same fo much of the game, because you encounter the same kind of enemies many times. In previous FF there weren't so many easy random encounters so it doesn't leave you with that feeling. Also, for the first third of the game even the bosses are easy. It can be tedious.
But as I said, I have no problem with any opinion as long as it is argumented.

the funniest thing is that I've been saying for years I wanted a Final Fantasy game where 90% of the battles weren't just random encounters where you just mash X (or whatever the button is to confirm) until all the enemies are dead. I have been longing for a game where every fight required you pay attention and use strategy, and that was one of the things I tried telling myself early on. I was actually happy with the fact that even regular encounters were tough, but it soon became apparent that the battle system was in many ways flawed. Good in theory, poor in execution. That and I think XII was a much better game since you had far more control over your allies and if you died you just switched out. While it too allowed most battles to be auto-fought, it was much more detailed and you didn't leave your survival up to random encounters or whatever your allies decided to do.

I agree about the amount of random battles.
Abut XII, can't comment because I haven't played it but I will some day soon I hope. I hope SE releases an HD version.
