Does the combat ever get better? I've tried restarting FF7 Remake 6 or 7 times - no exaggeration - and the combat just feels so boring. I think it comes down to the large health pools of the enemies which might have been needed for turn based action, but with real-time combat it's just a slog.

Yeah I hate being this guy but like someone else said, you're likely not playing it right. The only enemies that should be somewhat slow to take down are bosses.
But otherwise it's about how you use your abilities, using all your party members abilities, materia setup, etc. Also make sure someone has the Assess materia equipped and Assess every enemy you fight so that you know exactly what to do to pressure an enemy and then stagger them and what their weaknesses are.

The combat in this game is incredibly complex and might be the best version of real time/turn based I've ever seen.
