>They fixed/improved pretty much everything they could within the game's framework
They literally broke half the game's classes and made them almost useless while making the others overpowered.
>there not being any incentive to use your full party as opposed to making half of them permanent benchwarmers.
Because only half of your party is any good. Liberos and Mages suck absolute balls in 2 and Finale and Archers are only a little better.
>They fixed that one in the third game by splitting everyone into separate parties and forcing you to use every single one
This was even more aggravating. Their solution to breaking the first game's class balance was to just force you to use the shitty ones, and as a result both Jack and Toh have a couple characters at most that basically carry them while Clara has none and as a result is a major slog to play as.
