Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

I loved FFTA and have replayed it multiple times. I’ve played FFTA2 some as well, which was definitely not as good.

I thought A was much better than the original. I didn’t even know it was “not good”

Usually, whenever people talk about A, you get a few of the following arguments:

The story is bad/too childish

Laws/Judges are overall a terrible mechanic

Learning skills from equipment is bad

SRPGs need permadeath

Send missions are bad and just there to promote the game with having 300 missions

Of course, I disagree with all of these. Actually, these are some of my favorite things about this game.

  Yeah I don’t see those are negative honestly. The send missions inflated the numbers and I don’t love that you can get locked out of stuff easily but it’s totally fine

    I personally dislike the skills from equipment because, compared to FFT, it creates an artificial, story-gated wall on character progression (you can’t get the most powerful magic because you can’t get the equipment, because it only unlocks later during the story)
    
    As for the judges, I don’t think they add enough to game to make combat more interesting
