Expedition 33 perfectly highlights how most gamers are twits who throw their toys out of the pram when they're not pandered to.

If you find the dodge/parry mechanic difficult, a story mode exists. Use it. In that mode you can quite easily survive without any dodging/parrying at all, and in fact, some pictos can provide buffs for doing so.

I found the game as a whole quite easy on normal aside from Simon. I enjoying the parry mechanic and I found it made combat SIGNIFICANTLY more interesting and engaging than the normal button spam I get tired of in other JRPGs.

There's a mode for casuals like you.

congrats ignoramus's for pointing out something that doesnt change a damned thing, you still have to block! i dont mind QTE's but the blocking is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!
in a turn based RPG you succeed by your build and using traditional mechanics like status effects and elements, not by having magical pull out my ass dodge/parry timings to avoid instakills.
I think it absolutely ruins the game.
It mad how they put in an option to turn off QTE's but not the blocking, the game would be perfect without it!

you literally don't have to do it. if it upsets you so much simply don't do it. someone has already beaten the entire game on the hardest difficulty including post game content without dodging or parrying. if they can do it on the hardest difficulty I am sure you could do it on normal or easier. you might even find the game more enjoyable that way.

Edit: here is the first video of their playthrough

You sound like such a cringe child it's hilarious.

"No! How dare you add new mechanics and innovate in a very basic way! I struggle with it because of my poor motor skills and rather than just take the L and play on easy, I must cry about it on Steam discussions! Who cares if most people enjoy it!"

[Drax]

And as I've already explained and ZexxCrine points out, you literally don't even need to dodge or parry and AGAIN to quote myself:

Because its fun. The game is built around it. You would annihilated by all enemies without it. Not something they can remove.They would have to make a totally different game.

You still have to dodge in story mode. They can't change all the enemies. I think the dodge window is a little bigger though.

I am no longer on the young side but the only issue I had was when I could not defeat an optional boss, this dude you could only attack by using parry. He would constantly attack and you would only do damage with parry. That one I could not defeat and had to move on, felt bad but it is what it is. He would also 1 shoot you making your entire build irrelevant, that one felt really bad.
PS. Obviously a skill issue.
PPS. I am glad they tried to revolutionize the TB system, its the first game I see that actually tries to do this.

Quicktime events are not a new innovation. It's really ridiculous what arguments are used to defend such a shallow game.

Once you get Monoco you can spam his shields. I got like 9 shields against bosses. Failing a parry is no sweat.
