I'm pretty sure that rotating the control stick also counts as inputs for the sake of QTEs, which actually makes it considerably easier on controller then a keyboard.

Any keystroke during the QTE helps to fill the bar. Honestly I just drug my hand over my keyboard and didn't have any trouble keeping my bar at 100% fill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hmm has anyone tried any button for the controller for it? I usually just spam the x on my ps4 controller, but if any button works I can switch between the two.
Edit: Nm another thread answered this before I even posted this... go figure
I think I tried the keyboard smash method during Shinryu Ex doggo farming and discovered I can crash my computer when I do that. I managed to do the QTE doing the two finger method this time, but it was really close.
Holy crap, I didn't realize one failure means a fail. That....seems like something that should be fixed. That's just going to breed toxicity in parties if there's one weak link.
The QTE has never seemed like an interesting or meaningful mechanic in the first place. Mashing a single button for several seconds doesn't add anything positive to an encounter that makes it more fun in my opinion. I don't know why they continue using it.
