Did anyone dislike Final Fantasy XVI?

I've seen a lot of positive praise and sentiment for XVI even from longtime fans and I find that worrying. I finished the game and thought it was a solid 5/10 at best and was happy for it to be over. The game felt closer to Genshin Impact than it did Final Fantasy.

The music was generally quite good and the eikon battles were a fun and new take, but just about everything else I found lacking.

Overally, fairly worried about the franchise since so many people are over the moon as it implies we might be getting more of the above. It feels like XVI took heavy inspiration from XIV but did a worse job at the highlights of XIV (story, job/battle system) and straight up copied some of the bad parts of XIV.

Now that it's been a few weeks, hopefully more people have finished the game. What are your thoughts?
