I am not yet fond of not being able to auto attack, and move, without canceling my auto-combo.
I wish there was more things to do whilst in early game combat; maybe a spammy art, or something.

Yeah this is the game's biggest problem so far IMO.

Having to stand still to auto-attack means that while you wait for your arts to charge, combat boils down to just sitting there doing nothing and letting the game play itself. 

I much preferred the approach of the first two game where you could move into position for your next art while still auto-attacking.

I think a compromise could be struck in future.  Like you have a base auto you do while moving, but you combo while still, something like that.
