Xenoblade combat feels great until you're on a narrow pathway and your party members decide to take flying leaps off the side mid combat, or a flying enemy you topple falls off the side of a cliff and you have to wait for them to fly back to you.

Or when you're in a hallway and the camera gets so obnoxiously stuck against a wall during every special.

Or any enemy you defeat drops their loot off the side of a cliff, or when you're fighting a land based enemy and your party members decide to go the water and draw the aggro of every aquatic enemy on the shoreline, THEN STAY THERE WHILE THEY'RE AUTO'D TO DEATH

Or when you're fighting and doing great against an enemy, then patroling enemy joins the fight and alerts 4 more enemies to join in.
