This is why I ran Lune in party as a healer for 95% of the game. Layering healing pictos results in healing / revives that buffs the party too. If I couldnt survive that long enough to practice parries then I felt underleveled and would go explore elsewhere, upgrade weapons, etc.

Yeah once you get some decent pictos on, you can build little engines for constant auto-healing by mid-game, and then dodging becomes less essential. The dodging for endgame bosses gets almost ridiculous and so your picto strategy becomes critical.
I admit I was annoyed by the unfairness of dying to a pattern I haven’t learned yet early on, but you learn to work around it - and I say this as someone who detests QTEs and games with dodging 😂
