How to Parry
Block Just Before an Enemy Attack Connects
To parry an attack, players can simply anticipate their enemy's attack and just as the hit is about to land, press L1. Successful parries will not only prevent you from losing HP, but it will temporarily increase the recovery speed of your Break Gauge.
Parrying With a Shield
There are jobs that allow you equip a shield along with your main weapon and examples of these are the Sage and Swordfighter. Either with or without a shield, you can still parry attacks. All it requires it good timing.
Parrying Doesn't Work on Unblockable Attacks
While most of the regular attacks you encounter in the game can easily be deflected by with the right timing, you will encounter attacks that cannot be parried. These are fully Unblockable Attacks and since parrying isn't an option, evading would work instead.
Parry Effects
Break Gauge Recovery Speed
Successful parries will result in your Break Gauge recovery speed increase temporarily. Players that have a perfect timing can make quick combos with this and land devastating blows to the enemy.
Counter Attacks

This can make your fights go quicker as you can plan your attacks more effectively.
Incorporate Movement
Parrying attacks and Soul Shielding abilities can only go so far in combat. Make sure to incorporate your parries with other elements of your movement in order to execute quicker and stronger combos.
