You’ve basically just said

1) subjective opinions of the game define the 6-7 range where it moves from “there are problems with the game to personal opinions”
2) my personal grievances with the game are why it’s a 4/10

For example elemental magic not following the elemental wheel being bad is entirely a subjective opinion, the eikons all play different, the game design doesn’t work if you were pigeonholed into playing Garuda because it’s a fire enemy. My personal opinion is elemental interactions are superficial

I cannot look at your list and give 16 anything less than a 6 because it’s a complete package, the story barely contradicts (your only example is mid’s inventions which she specifically said she was locking away) and develops Clive well and the gameplay is fun if a little barebones
