DMC is spamming buttons really fast in specific sequences, doing combos. L2 to warp to the mob, R1, R1, R1, R2 to do a combo, then do it over again until mob staggers halfway then triangle, L2 to pull the mob down then Square + R1 to trigger a fast spam attack then R1 over and over to spam attack to stagger break then L3 + R3 to limit break then spam your R1 or do time stop attacks.I never played DMC so I have no frame of reference. But when I think modern RPGs, I think Skyrim/Witcher clones so I thought that would be a better descriptor for FF16 since it doesnt have any turn based combat and uses stuff like counters, parries and dodges. I guess Elden Ring and AC: Odyssey would be in the same category.
Over and over.
There are other attacks you can assign to get a similar sequence but that gives you an idea. All of that is very much mashing buttons in a sequence to maximize stagger and damage. You’re also dodging and parrying in between all that.
I’m not a fan of tons of cinematics in games but you need it in this one to give your fingers a break.
