Actually...
The framerate only drops in certain areas(Ex:Bases full pf enemies),and they have graphic settings for this purpose.
You can fast travel to the area near any mission from the quest menu.
Battles are meant to be left to the player,it's about choice. If you choose to rush straight through it's your choice,not the games. You cannot rush battles when enemies are above your level and are much more difficult unless you complete missions beforehand.
The combat is based upon flow and trigger. The flow attacks are four hits,but the can be combined to make a combo with trigger attacks. Actually with the four hit flow combo,combined with trigger attacks,which extend the combo and air combo it's more moves than FE Warriors or and Dynasty Warriors game. So it's been revamped and expanded,not "dumbed down".
And the world is full of content if you stay in the area in which the war is focused,many open world games have nothing in them if you're not in an area of interest.
There's nothing bland about it. It's actually leagues more interesting than FE Warriors.
But this is off topi and I apologize this post may be deleted if necessary,but I hate hyperbole and blind,uninformed hate.
