A bunch of whining is what the OP is doing. This game does not hold your hand like others, which makes it difficult, which in turn makes you work for it, and when you succeed after working hard for it, you get a lot more satisfaction out of it (dopamine rush!). In this game, each battle requires effort, and so does almost every quest, and item forging/mixing, and whatever else, etc. The story is rather good if you make it far enough and learn of... SPOILER.
