As much as I enjoyed (the first) Symphonia, I really don't think the battle system has aged well. The lack of Free Run/3D movement even when the AI can still do it makes it pretty obvious

I'm only up to the Palmacosta Human Ranch boss (Magnius), and I've already had to just stop and put the game down for a few hours due to pure frustration with the AI.
Really making me miss Xillia's AI that I got used to.

In the Strategy option, you have to set their TP use to "all out". Generally if their TP drops below a certain threshold (easier in the early game), they
will resort to mashing their basic attacks, even if they're mages like Genis and Raine who have no business using their normal attacks.
It's best that you fine tune each of the parameters instead of relying on their preset strategy. I'd give more suggestions, but I can't remember what they were off the top of my head.
