How to make this game more impactful and more satisfying in its Combat System

Piggybacking on this idea: It would be kinda fun, if the damage numbers would also fly in the direction we strike. For example with Dragoon's Chaos Thrust: First swing shoots a number left, second swing shoots a number to the right and the thrust shoots one larger number through the enemy

That...

Would be incredibly distracting.

Also problematic for thrust/piercing attacks. What, would those fly through the boss to where you can't see them?

I think it could be fun to see the damage individualized but I'm not sure I'd switch just because I like to be able to know the total without having to add it up before the text disappears lol.

If it's not too much trouble it could be a cool option

Flying Sardine attack causes the text to hit the monster in the face like talismans slapped onto a spirit. Thwack, Thwack, get that Sardine! XD
