Yes, there is uniqueness in being able to cancel out someone's effects and stuff, but um... It's the same old same old from the first game with tidbits added. How is it genius if it's still the same thing? From the first game? I mean, there's not really much in the evolution of the system. It's just add tidbits here and there.
And with the eggs, it just makes everyone be like some Godly magic using fiend? Hm... Didn't people bitch about FF7 being like that? Yet, people like that? Uh... Ok then.
Oh and if you knew how to create the proper eggs early (I thought I fucked up until I tried using some Fairy Eggs and finding out otherwise), you could become Godlike after only two dungeons (three if you do the Water dungeon and get the Healing Eggs, and then difficulty is just GONE). That immediately killed any difficulty in the game.

Secondly, I know that Arc 4 wasn't apart of the Collection. Did I EVER say it was? No. I said if you forget that 4 was apart of the story (as they are all connected in some fashion). 4 had a good story, yes. However, it felt like tidying up loose ends.
Spoiler (Highlight to Read):
I mean the Ancient Evil can suddenly assume human form? Excuse me? I mean, that didn't make too much sense. Sure, it was explained ... enough, but really was kinda just there as a pitiful excuse to me. And how the hell do Darc and Kharg suddenly become buddy-buddy even though they just fought their asses off at the Tower before the final dungeon? I mean, both of them wanted to kill the other just not that long ago. If it was built in a little better than they had to trust one another and not just "oh we must trust one another in the final dungeon" then I could probably have bought it.
