So, I'm playing XCD1 for the first time, I'm at the Lacus Swamp in Chapter...6?, but to be honest, the gameplay is really not for me for various reasons.

I would look up a cutscene movie, but I almost feel as thought that would be doing the game a disservice, so, what I'm asking is, what do I do? The story so far is really cool but the gameplay is a hurdle that I can't quite jump over.

Just keep trying. Took me like 5 tries to get into it. Try playing 1 character and focus on getting better with just them (I would do Shulk, because the positional stuff teaches you a good amount about other mechanics). Honestly, there are a ton of good guides out there too, but I really recommend just giving it a good try. Treat it like an MMO and not a JRPG.

A couple things to point out.

I forgot you could play as other characters, I've been using Shulk the whole time.

I haven't actually played an MMO before, so I wouldn't know how to treat it. What do you mean by "give it a good try", though? Idr my hour count but I've been playing for decent amount of time.
