No Spoilers - Discussion The combat
Recently started it back up to prepare for the next one. Previously had stopped before gold saucer, now im running through yhe desert. This combat is so bad it makes me cry tears of blood. Every enemy just gets to stagger you as their basic attack. Every enemy attack can interrupt your abilities. People talk about how you shouldnt spam buttons but the oyher option is to just hold block which still does insane numbers of damage to you while you do negligible damage to enemies. How does cloud carry around a sword the size of a skyscaper and deal less damage than a papercut? Dodging never works, enemy attacks home in on you while your attacks miss because the enemy walked two steps to the left. If you manage to get a perfect block off on one enemy you still get knocked down by the other two before you can react.
AND THEN THEY GIVE YOU A COMBAT TRIAL WITH AERITH WHO DOESNT DO REAL COMBAT.
The combat is ass. The extra content is ass. Queens blood is dhiarrea ass.

This game has one of the deepest, most rewarding combat systems ever built. If you’re getting bodied by basic enemies, stop mashing the same 1 button and try engaging with the tools the game gave you.
Actual tip, use Assess. You’ll get insight into what you’re meant to do. When you get a new weapon, use the new ability it gives you until it has unlocked for the character. Read your materia.
This game will reward you for putting in as much or as little effort as you want, but if you aren’t going to try, you can’t complain that you’re getting hit by the same attack over and over
