The storyline
No more random battles. That is one thing I defintely don't miss.
The battle system.
Balthier - Hey he is the coolest character in the game by far.
Fran
Dislikes:
Vaan - Too emo and whiney.
Shitass camera angles
Lack of good sidequests/minigames - name me one good one that doesn't involve combat, at least FF9 had Chocobo Hot and Cold, FF7 - Gold Saucer, FFX - Blitzball, etc
Quickenings - Gimme the old fashioned Limit Breaks or Overdrives from FF7 and FFX over this Quickening crap anytime.
Penelo - She is just annoying imo and doesn't contribute anything to the main storylike after Lhusu. Plus for an FF chick she totally also fails at being eye candy too.
Useless espers
Annoying hard to get ultimate weapons and armour like Zodiac Spear, Grand Armour, Ribbon, Danjuro, Grand Helm, Tournesol, etc.
The fact that most magic outside of the Black and White spells is useless - only Slow, Blind, Lure, Decoy and Haste are the useful ones outside the Black and White magic in my view.
Apart from Steal, Libra, Charge and Telekenisis - all the other Techniks blow.
Some hard to spawn monsters. In particular the stupid Elementals, Entites, Humanoids and one or two rare game/trophy monsters like Larvae Eater are a real pain in the butt to get for the Bestiary.
Random chests
Frustrating drop/steal rate of some items from monsters. - This coupled along with the random chests justs pisses me off.
The Great Crystal - lamest dungeon ever in any FF game imo.
