Seriously the combat is so chaotic and enemies have no tells, its just the wrong type of game to have a parry mechanic. It's insufferable

Yes the combat in this game is bad

The vast majority of attacks are not reactable, they're just standing around then do <200ms attacks

They're not dodgeable with a normal dodge either, they're programmed to hit you basically

I think the developers did this on purpose to mimic turn-based combat where you WILL take damage

Because they made FFXVI and that's all about well telegraphed attacks and perfect dodges

just to act an extra layer, I guess. almost every fight in this plays out the same way. learn how to pressure the enemy (90% of the time it's an elemental weakness) > dump your stagger abilities on them when they get pressured > dump your damage abilities > repeat. It gets repetitive fast.

You are just bad at the game.
This one isnt based on parry. Its not even a parry per se, its just a perfect guard, for those autistic ones that want to hit them.
The thing is, games like sekiro are BUILT for parry so every single thing in those games are based around parries.
This game isnt, thats just an extra layer.
If you ask me i would remove the perfect guard because the game doesnt need it, but judging by the youtube community people love it and it enables solo no damage runs

There is Materia for both, to enhance the blocking and to extend the parry window. Every character should have these 2 materia or at least 1, especially teh characters you don't use all of them should have Stead Block because the CPU is good at blocking and builds ATB really fast.

everyone I've seen playing the game are always spamming the dodge button as if it was Dark Souls but in this game you are supposed to block.

But some characters do have i-frames when dodging. Tifa when she has Ki level 2 has i-frames on her dodge and Cait Sith when he's on the Moogle. All the others the dodge is for position. Like you dodge and press X to bring out the menu, select the attack.

And then you can issue commands without having to switch to them.

This is half the truth.
There are attacks that are meant to be blocked, and there are attacks that are meant to be dodged. The ones with the ! icon usually are meant to be dodged, they dont have tracking and you are supposed to dodge AWAY from the attack. Some grab attacks however like Neo Bahamut grab are meant to be dodged by going around, because it has pretty good reach. Its all about if its a grab, an aoe, a projectile, etc.
There are other characters with i-frames like Red XIII vengeance mode and yuffie brumal form.

Retards think Perfect Guard/Just Defend ARE parries.

This exactly. You are SUPPOSED to take damage and heal/mitigate it. It's made in the spirit of a turn-based RPG where you need a healer that heals the damage you take. It's a feature, not a weakness. Dodging and parrying is there for specific, telegraphed boss attacks that do massive damage and that you're supposed to avoid, or for when you've memorized everything and are doing a challenge run.
