OK I'm still totally developing my opinion on the game as I'm only 2-3 hours in but so far but as a huge JRPG fan I don't really like it. The battle system sucks. So far fights are either braindead easy or just about parrying. You can use the other systems at play (buffs, debuffs, Overcharge, stains, etc.) but whether you do or not is irrelevant, your success is just about learning the attack patterns so you don't take damage and then you win.
In Sekiro, it was very fun to parry because the way the real-time combat was presented was amazing. Here I am not having fun learning attack patterns and parrying, would much prefer if the combat was truly turn-based.
Is there anyone who didn't like the combat at first but think it got better as the game progressed?
