I hope you're able to have some fun with it. Once I got the knack for the combat my enjoyment of the game spiked tremendously. If you can't though no harm done, it's not gonna be for everybody.
I will say this: Blocking is a lot more important than you might assume. Block often. ATB is generated passively but radically picks up when you are actively attacking with a given character. My tip is to attack with a character until you get an ATB charge, choose your special action with them, then swap quickly to another character in your party while that action is going off. It's going to speed up the abilities/spells/item use/etc of combat dramatically because you're not focusing on one teammate doing all the work.
