when I first started playing I wished the camera panned out more, but I guess over time ive gotten use to the restriction, in some fights its like another layer of difficulty to make sure you manipulate your camera for the best view.
I still wish it would pan out further in some circumstances and the new trial is a good example, although not to make the fight easier because its really not that hard if everyone does their jobs, but just to allow us to see the whole battle unfold.
as for ability, some systems can handle it better than others so what you can see on ps3 is not as good as ps4 or pc, and im sure the core game engine works the same on all systems and so that might be the restriction.. or then again maybe not since I don't really know anything about the game engine across all platforms.
