Quoted for emphasis. This is Final Fantasy. Realism grossly undersells what heroic characters are capable of in this setting— choosing to roleplay mundane combat is a choice to depict a weak character for the setting.
The argument here is whether or not our characters are as powerful as those characters depicted or not. In every RP community I've ever been in, it's assumed that characters that are in the main story/quests/whatever are far beyond what our RP characters are capable of.
If lalafell can be legit master soldier despite having limbs shorter than a toothbrush and go toe to toe with a Amaalji I see no issue with someone IC deflecting a bullet.
Something like fighting Titan one on one a killing him with a limit break I'd assume a bit too much. Dodging a machinists John Marston style pistol I'd think would be ok.
