>ranks your performance on every battle with better rewards for high marks
>you can play in a very slow and boring way and still finish the game instead of digging into advanced tech like ATB cancels to finish fights faster at the cost of higher APM
>style/paradigm switching
>can juggle enemies
>protag uses both a gun and a sword
>every cutscene is just a flashy action scene or underwritten melodrama to justify the next boss fight
>linear as fuck and obviously ran out of budget in the end so all the bonus content is just more fights without context
