There is no fucking way the lost thread was started in 2020

I just beat the flying fortress boss in FFV SNES and I feel like I'm doing something horribly wrong in this game because I have died multiple times to every single boss so far before looking up the strategy online. I fundamentally do not understand how you are supposed to figure out what an enemy is weak to besides trial and error shit. Like that flying fortress:

>had no idea you could disable the missile launchers by targetting them separately (fuck you the sprite doesn't even show them)
>had no idea the boss was vulnerable to Lightning damage

Once I looked these two factors up, I slaughtered it very, very easily. Regular enemies are total jokes that I oneshot easily but bosses all absolutely SHIT out absurd amounts of damage to the point where if you don't know the optimal way to melt them quickly you are just totally fucked within the first 30 seconds of the fight, because good luck outhealing any of their entire party hitting bullshit.

Am I missing something that could enable me to play better or is this game just absurdly hard for some reason?
