I thought the same until I just dove in. Yes you will die a lot, but there's a lot of points on the main quest that are essentially mechanic checks. Once you learn how to deal with situations in game, you kinda apply it elsewhere in the Cud world and your survivability goes up greatly. Then you're able to pass the classically annoying stuff (fucking golgatha) pretty consistently.
But yeah. Maybe then you'll be fifty hours into an esper play through, you have yet to realize what glimmer does and wonder what the fuck nuked you one screen away.
Its an incredible game and there is none like it. The basics aren't too bad to grasp but hey, that's why they say its !!FUN!!.
