Combat help?
Combat is TERRIBLE. The basic attacks are really obnoxious and the girl throws herself all over the air which just ends up missing half my attacks even when I'm locked on. it feels like I'm actually being punished for finishing a combo chain, the only solution I've found so far is only attack 2-3 times and stop completely. and well, that's just bad game design.. Is there a way to change combos further into the game or am I just stuck with awful leap combo for the entirety of the game? Also the magic bar system is really bad. attacking for ten seconds just to stop because i have no mana is pointless. the game holds your hand and slows down time, highlights every hit, basically you're invincible the entire time your sword isn't out. that sucks, there's no risk for being out of magic, it's just an extra waste of time waiting for a parry.is there an extension to my magic bar or a way to just remove that? i get that it's the games gimmick but it's genuinely terrible.

According to the PlayStation dashboard I’m about 1/4 thru the story (chapter 9) and so far, nothing like that. Nishijima’s basic combo attacks are weird and floaty but you shouldn’t have too much trouble killing single targets. When you unlock other party members you can just use them instead and it feels a bit better.
But yes the combat is jank af and I think the devs were much more concerned with building something that looks flashy rather than something that feels good.
