>FF6

The battle system is incredibly boring. There's zero challenge in it, customization is meaningless since stat bonuses from Espers eclipse innate abilities after a bit, and magic can be learned by anyone to any degree. From that angle, the entire system is very static and unchanging every playthrough. Sure, FFV has that problem too, but it only shows up at the very end of the game when using a party of bare/mimes is viable rather than you learning everything while being one. And even then, you can equip different abilities to use with most having some sort of function or reason to be equipped.

I absolutely love the setting, the backdrop for the world, and the characters, but I'm very disappointed that combat is just so bland.
