It can be, but like Devil may Cry, you're rewarded for precision. Timing blows perfectly deals more damage and has a higher chance to stagger opponents. Using the proper techniques at the right time, dodging and striking at the back of your opponent, perfect blocking (fighter and Mage Knight classes) are all facets that will take you farther than "Mash X to win." Many lighter battles can be easily finished by mashing X. But if you're ever having difficulty with a fight, timing your strikes and using the right combination of skills (as well as a higher leveled pawn or 2) will get you through some of the tougher fights.
