I know there are other threads about this game, but I need one to talk about the battle system.
I really dont understand the battle system in this game(im playing on normal difficulty). For example, one of the first merc missions has you go after a mutated dog, that has an unavoidable attack. It jumps at your throat and disables that party member. what the hell am i supposed to do? In sector 5 slums, when you fight rude, he can bull rush you and grab you, its fucking unavoidable. What the hell do i do against enemies like this? I still beat these encounters, but its incredibly annoying to chug potions or blow all my mp on healing. what the hell do i do to telegraph shit like this? I use assess on each enemy and use magic for their weaknesses, but their attacks come out before im done casting a fucking spell.
Ff7r shitty battle system
also, is it just me or is party ai braindead? They barely build up their atb gauges
Its not a kingdom hearts
It is not a XV
do whatever you would have done in the original.
Learn to pressure/stagger.
They try to encourage you to switch characters often. You can get a materia later in the game that speeds up party ATB.
>pressure/stagger
Imagine bringing back that shitty mechanic from XIII
It's not an action game, it's possible that not all attacks are telegraphed and you are not expected to dodge everything. Pretty sure neither Rude's attack nor the dogs one shot you. Switch to the other party member and start healing or try to get the dog off by attacking it.
so I guess I'm going to have to play through this and just accept the fact that some faggot enemies have unavoidable fuck you attacks? what shitty design.
the XIII battle system is unironically one of the good parts of it
there is literally nothing wrong with pressure/stagger
Have you ever used the Block button?
