I fully understand the battle system.  In fact I've played other games where you can switch between characters before.  I've even switched my characters when another one was more suitable for the job I was doing.  I've been playing games for a while, and this is not some new concept that was just too darn complex for me.  

Oh right. Ok... It can’t be you. I forgot who I was talking to... Sorry.

To answer your question, yes, having full control is better and more fun. You’ll have to get used to it and figure out the rhythm that comes with it.

And even if you’ve played games that had character switching, no battle system has been like VII Remake’s take on it. 

You could watch Maximilian Dood’s videos about the game. Might help you figure out the tempo and maybe learn a thing or two you haven’t figured out. I understand the game kind of tempts you to rush and go button mashy style, but interestingly, when you take it slow, battles tend to end faster.  

My job as a player is to overcome the challenges the developer placed in front of me.  If I did so effectively, then I understood the battle system well enough.  In this case, I beat the demo without much hardship, so I'd say I understood it.  Unless you're suggesting that they made a game (or demo at least) that you can beat easily without understanding, which would be a pretty big development flaw.

"Oh right. Ok... It can’t be you. I forgot who I was talking to... Sorry."

So, you're going to insist I don't understand something, which is a statement you can't possibly justify since you neither saw me play nor have access to my mind... then when I disagree, you're going to throw shade at me?  Really? I didn't force you to respond to me.  If you think I'm inherently unreasonable then don't.
