It's the mouth breathers who think "tUrN bAsEd iS bOrInG" giving the negative reviews. I feel like everytime I see this comment on social media, it's almost exclusively people who haven't played the game.
They want to mash buttons and finish the game as fast as possible or play a Souls like game where you have to dodge roll for 3 business days.
I heard someone say the game automatically sucks because it doesn't have multi-player.
People are dumb these days.

It's a base enemy you run into in the middle of the area. It's a jumping smash attack and I cannot for the life of me time the dodge.
I don't think it's a white rock guy?

“Turn based should be about tactics not button mashing.”
It’s not like this game has move sets that build off each other and can weave into other characters rotations for optimal results. Nothing tactical about that.
Or having your starting rotation get fricked and then have to recover. No tactics in that.
No tactics in knowing that every move you select is more vital that just casting a regular ole JRPG magic spell. Not tactical.
Nothing tactical about limited healing and revive items. Nah. No tactics in managing that stuff.
It’s all just button mashing….
God forbid a game take everything tactical about JRPGs and then add in a dodge/parry tactic. Not tactical at alll.
Some people shouldn’t breed. Unfortunate the dumb ones seem to breed the most.
Also the highest user rating of all time on metacritic.

What level is everyone? I just got Esquie and I’m doing side areas. Currently 22 with Lune, Gus, and Maelle. The other character you get (won’t name names) is 19. Haven’t really used them though.
I'm a good bit past this point. In an attempt to avoid spoilers, I will simply say that I got Esquie's second upgrade and have cleared the next dungeon after that.
My primary team is all mid-40s. I don't use Lune or Sciel in my main team. Monoco and Maelle absolutely wreck everything. Monoco's shield busting attack is a cheat code for enemies who shield.

I am basically at the end of the game. You will be about level 62ish. I have probably killed about half the chromatic bosses and overworld bosses. There is an insane difficulty spike.

I've tried what I thought was on time, then early, then late, but I can't dodge or parry it. It's a one hit KO on my peeps so it's wildly annoying.
Not sure which one you are talking about?
I’m in that area right now.

I passed on this one because the art style is sorta weird for my tastes, and everything about it seems kinda strange, but I'm glad to see the game doing well and everyone seems to be enjoying it.
AA dev teams have been absolutely crushing it. They can produce high quality games far more quickly and at much less costs.
The era of the 200+ million, 5+ year dev cycle needed to f'ing end.

Man I am loving the story but GDI I HATE the dodge/parry stuff.

I am completely uneducated about this genre of game, but these statements do not compute:
1) It's a turn-based game.
2) I can't time the dodge/parry.
I love turn-based games, so why is it hard to "time" a parry or dodge? Wouldn't you just say to yourself, "Self, it's time to dodge, therefore I'll do it" and thus it is done?
I'm certain this is a misunderstanding, but the words used confuse the hell out of me.

The combat system is turn based, however when the enemy is taking their turn to attack, there are dodge and parry mechanics you can use.
Dodge is much more forgiving, but does not offer a counter attack
Parry has to be much more precise, but if you time it correctly, you both block the enemy attack and perform a counter attack that deals damage to the enemy.
For example, the enemy is taking their turn to attack. The enemy animation is to walk forward and swing their sword at me. When their animation of the sword swinging starts, the game allows me to hit a button at just the right time to dodge it and avoid damage.
Same with parry.
It's almost like a hybrid combat system that is heavily weighted towards turn based.

I will break this down for you.
On offensive turns, its turn based like normal with some simple QTE timings on abilities. Press button when in the "perfect" zone.
On defense, when an enemy has it's turn to attack, the enemies have wind ups to their melee attacks and spells. These can target one party member, or all of them at once. You have to pay attention to sound cues and swing animations and press either the dodge button to dodge (has a larger window of success) or the parry button (tight window, but rewards more action points and can also result in counter attacks that deal damage).
The game is turn based, but has incorporated a soulslike element to make it more engaging than just selecting your moves and watch the game fully play itself.

10-4. Thanks for the explanation. I'll see if there are some vids out there.

Just took down Duelisto.

It kind of felt the opposite to me with the new pictos/lumina that became available. Has made my squads survivability go way up.
