-Puzzles are oddly designed and often not fun
-Bosses rely quite a bit on status effects which can be frustrating to deal with
-Dialogue is sometimes cringy (Tidus gets a lot of bad lines and his va goes a little over the top per usual for jrpgs)
-Menus have parts that are badly designed which is bad for a game that uses them so frequently
-Some party members are way more useful than others

Overall: 7/10
