It seems like standard Tales fare, so yup, it is very tricky. Focus on setting your attack inputs to both utilize the more effective attacks & sequences along with ensuring that you cover a variety of elemental & status attack bases. I.e. I focus around attacks that are very advantageous after they hit or build up the combo meter swiftly.

Once you're comfortable with that, then you can implement special attacks & meter-based abilities. Also, <3 Magilou.

There's also an item that lets you set up 4 more attacks (guard+face buttons) which really helps.
Battle system is pretty good overall, one of my favorites from the Tales games, only gripe is the heavy focus on the offensive/combo oriented style, which gets even worse with end-game content, oh... and healing spells healing almost nothing.
@Force_of_Nature I see you're a man of culture as well.
