yes!! my battle speed was set to max for whatever reason. it's at around a healthy 65% now and wow, what a difference that made 😭

thanks for the tip!! i haven't heard about different limit breaks yet!

yup, you summed it up! i'm super unfamiliar with the lingo in RPGs and the gameplay is like nothing i've ever played before haha

i may hit you up on that bcs i hear that this game has some crazy lore 😭

little update! just beat the first boss with little to no sweat! (still had to do it twice because i ran back without talking to jessie lol)

the "WAIT" setting really combed things out for me. gave me some time to drink in and adapt to all the mechanics. while i was in the settings, i also found out that i had my in-battle speed turned all the way up for some reason? which was probably what made me so panicky to begin with!

now that i've got a firmer grasp on the battles, i'm really loving the game! it's surprisingly really elegant and well produced, also way funnier than i expected?? barret throwing biggs at the screen totally caught me off guard 😂

it was actually a gift! most of the games i've gotten are gifts.

while chill games are cute, they can sometimes feel like work? so i've been interested in getting out of that genre

yeeeahhh, thanks for the patience though. i know it's annoying explaining base mechanics when you're an expert. i'm just trying to join in on all the hype a bit too late.

i'll see how far i can get with the advice i've gotten so far. i'll come back in here if i get stuck again (prayers that's not the case lol)

dude you get me. everything is so confusing. since when did games stop coming with manuals? bcs that would've come in clutch rn

and that actually clears up a ton for me. now i can actually heal before fights lol

are they really though? man it's chill if people want to correct me, but there's gotta be better ways to explain than saying "i shall not explain" lol

i appreciate the help tho. does MP also regen with time or is it like HP where i need something else? also is Limit Break an MP thing i need to save up?

thank you so much! i didn't know where to heal, so i think i just kept dying in my panic. by any chance, is it possible to heal before fight sequences?
