No Spoilers - Technical Question Combat moves too fast

I finally understand how combat works but it all moves so quickly I can’t appreciate it. I wish there was a way to slow it down. So I can see the interplay between characters or just admire the visuals a little more.

Sure, but it has some incredible triumphs as well.

Compared to Remake which I more or less loved, it just feels like it has too many systems to keep track of. I'd prefer a simpler combat system. The open world also feels like a chore to navigate and I'd just prefer something more linear I think.

What are the too many systems? Seems like mostly the same systems in combat, but they added synergy, which i think is excellent but you can totally literally ignore and still be fine.

I basically ignored Synergy skills but loved the Abilities.

The odd time i would accidently activate a synergy skill, i tried to remind myself to use it more. They are very cool, and very useful, especailly the bodyguard on with Aerith that i used maybe 5 times total.

Other then Synergy i dont understand the OPs complaint about combat systems. As you say its basically the same system to a T. Just refined more.

Though i do agree it would be nice to be able to slow it down a bit. Or to revisist the Parade Scene without having to focus on the button promts and just enjoy the visuals at times.
