Could be so much more…
After playing this game on and off for 4–5 years, I can say this: what a waste of potential. The characters, their in-game representation (for the most part), etc.—they’ve been nothing short of astonishing for a “free-to-play” game. Now, going back to that label, “free-to-play” feels like a misleading title—especially now that you can actually finish a gacha game. By that, I mean once you’ve completed all the PVE content, there’s nothing left to grind. No rewards. No love for veterans (except for zenkais… and even that’s been going downhill fast. Like, seriously—it’s that bad). I could mention the “extremely diverse” PVP meta, the character designs under the recently introduced “new design philosophy” (which somehow doesn’t include ULTRAS), the silent locking of rewards behind higher PVE levels, etc.—but pls. This game has been around for seven years. Big nostalgia. Big IP. And y’all are just getting started with this revamp introduced pre-Anni? So much untapped potential. Don’t let it go to waste.
