I think I just defeated my first boss, well.. not me but I guess the river did it. That fight made me wonder if all the boss battles are like that? It was just a glorified QTE. :(

?

Not sure what you're referring to there.

A mechon called Xord. 1 damage per attack, wait for the qte, wait for the qte, wait for the qte, yeaa bar full, chain attack, get the break and few attacks in, wait for the qte, wait for the qte, miss the qte, get some guy down and lose the bar -> rinse and repeat.

Don't worry, that's atypical. Be warned though that there is another fight that similarly requires you to "debuff" the boss before you can hurt it, although in that fight you can also just outwait its invincibility period (don't though: it's boring).

That is good news, thanks. :)

Yep.  Only battle in the game that is really that anal about it.  It's more or less a tutorial on how to effectively use break and chain attacks.
