Final Fantasy 14 combat PS4?

Hi fellow gamers , I have FINAL FANTASY 14 on PS4 , I'm a dedicated gamer however FFXIV is my 1st FF game and my 1st MMO experience , I'm doing ok & have managed to get to level 8 , I am a Marauder , but I'm not understanding the combat system, here's my questions:

(1) Do I pick my target & just stand there and let the fight play out ?

(2) What other buttons / actions should I be pushing?

(3) Whats this combo system I read about ? How do I do it ?

(4) Any other tips or tricks to help my combat ?

Remember , I'm a complete NOOB with FF

Cheers and thank you

    As you gain levels, you unlock new attacks. I know with Marauder, you are able to combo certain attacks--If you use attack A, attack B will have a damage bonus for so many seconds. Look at the ability textboxes to determine these combos.

    There are also debuff abilities that might cause a bleed effect or lower defense. Use these at the start of the fight and use them again when their effect expire.

    Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to play FF14 on PC. But if it has the option, I suggest hooking up a keyboard/mouse to your PS4 and using that to play. Again, if that's an option, I don't have a PS4.

    You should be able to use the D-pad to select enemies. Otherwise, pressing the attack button will target whoever's closest in front of you.
