On hard mode and holy heck — it is hard. This is a new game on hard mode. I’ve only gotten this far 🙁 I’ve upgraded my square ability to the max — and it still does so little damage! Is the triangle ability any better? Which one would be the best to upgrade to the max (I’m looking to respec… not grind all those hours)? Or should I just get good?

Your video is two minutes long, so I’m not sure what flash you’re referring to. If it’s the strikes that killed you, you’re supposed to parry those. You can try dodging them, but it’s not optimal.
The square beta ability is for single targets, the triangle ability is for crowds. So they serve two different purposes entirely.
L1+O and a maxed-out suppression exospine (mk II or base) will let you stun lock and down nearly every enemy and boss in the game. Maxing put L1+O to its infinite ng+ variant also helps.
As do the stun grenades or whatever ones down enemies. Parrying & dodging are alot easier with the reflex spine.
However, it looks like you are playing New Game (non-plus) on hard based on the low health Bar, and lack of a burst energy bar and another icon. Hard Mode is basically balanced around New Game+ EVE with max or close to max skills and Stats. Of course, it’s not impossible to win, but I can’t help with that aspect since I’d not personally take on Hard Mode with a minimum preset or new game EVE. The move that killed you might have been better with a dodge backwards depending on its hit range, but I can’t be sure.
