I'm starting to click with the battle system. I think I now understand the difference between Synergy Skills & Synergy Abilities.
It appears that Synergy Skills are used in real time to gain ATB charges, ATB use in turn charges Synergy Abilities which are super over the top tag-team moves like the flashy Limit Break attacks.
Now that I have a better understanding the combat is flowing much better and I'm having even more fun. I can't wait to see what other weapons can be found which unlock new skills for each character.
I set the battle camera to the farthest setting (3 I think) and it gives me a much better view of what's happening. The only other problem is that the screen can easily be obscured by all the particle effects, that's a small price I'm willing to pay for such flashy combat.

I am about 40 hours in and I have only started to understand the combat lol
Understandable, in my opinion the game doesn't do a great job of explaining all the systems that overlap with each other.
I much prefer this level of depth over the streamlined combat we got with FF16. While that's a fun game I'm more a fan of Rebirth's party/synergy combat system.
Its cool that like the previous game this one allows the player to stun/stagger or otherwise bully the enemies. Well, you can do that if you play to the enemy weakness and use the right skills. And the Materia that expands the window for perfect blocking is making things a lot more fun.
I do believe the next Final Fantasy as in 17 has to be appeal to western demographics by focus on western aesthetics and design. It's clear people are put off by the anime style in design and tone. The most popular japanese games all have a visual appeal to the west such as Resident Evil, Elden Ring and even Nintendo games.
16 and Rebirth are selling about the same despite having extremely different designs and tone.
They just need to keep the budgets in check and accept that the series isn't going to reach massive numbers.
16 was very Game of Thrones esque from my experience
I agree but even that had its limitations. I don't know if it is the name or the number which put off people. Perhaps they need to do a reboot just calling it Final Fantasy so its clear to people its a new start.
You may be right. I just hope Sony are giving them a good deal and they are profitable enough.
