I'd add on "like":

- Most of the music

On "dislike":
- Not being able to group with your chocobo when soloing dungeons, or having a minion out at the same time, etc.
- Too many (and slow) loading screens
- FATEs should be more meaningful and rewarding, at all levels (I am tired of going to a FATE and finding nobody there!)

And yes, the current maps are really lousy, and make the world look smaller than it actually is. Make them WoW-style. Map the whole of a zone, and make us discover where we can or can't go.
The loading screens are an unfortunate result of PS3 limitations. Even 1.0 had them between regions, they were just hidden in the form of walking through straight tunnels for a bit.
