>>713077764As it is optional, and QTEs are not optional, no, parrying is not a QTE.That's like saying dodging is a QTE, which you probably will now because you are a disingenuous faggot who probably also says stupid like, "Call of Duty is a role playing game because you are in the role of a soldier." You can dodge, parry, or tank the damage, meaning you have 3 choices, which means it is not a QTE because QTEs demand a very specific sequence of inputs without any choice from the player and if the sequence is not input correctly or on time the player receives a failure state.
