I agree with most of these. Personally, I think the game has really high highs but the low-quality MMORPG stuff in-between is enough to drop it to an 8.

5. The only complaint against the system is Stagger gauge. Not surprising to me because It has been an issue in every game that SE uses it in. Fights can drag on for a long as time because of this this system. I propose faster staggers or higher damage when staggered. One of the two please. 

What setup are you using?

I'm going with Will o' the Wykes + Lightning Rod / Gouge + Judgement Bolt / Gigaflare + Windup and it melts just about everything in the endgame.

Phoenix: Rising Flames, Scarlet Cyclone

Titan: Pile Driver, Diamond Dust(Best Stagger damage in the game)

Odin: Dancing Steel, Gigaflare

Rising Flames and Scarlet Cyclone have good power and stagger and fast recovery. I use these in combination with combos to drain stagger to about 3/4. Depending on enemy Diamond Dust can drain stagger completely from the 50% mark but I tend to wait until about 30% stagger left. Then I Limit Beak -> Diamond Dust -> Pile Driver - Rising Flames, Scarlet Cyclone, switch to Odin (while in Scarlet Cyclone animation) -> O(Odin's Blade) -> Dancing Steel -> Gigaflare -> Zantetsuken. This is about 120k+ damage. I'm more setup for maximum damage when staggered not no much staggering. 

In general staggering is a chore unless you setup for it.
