Combat system is beyond saving.

[ReynTime]

Why does eberything always have tio be a competition?

Nothing to do with "competition". It's called "player expression". A term that is alien to anyone who joined after 2018 and who never played any of the hundreds of video games where character rosters, abilities and builds exist. Being able to defeat an enemy or a boss more than 1 way without doing any exploit is a welcome flexibility that doesn't take ANYTHING away from people who don't care about that level of expression.
This exists in many games, even offline FFs, and is part of why those games feel fun to play.
