personally I love it (and I play mobile, so I need to stay by a charger) the fact it's a Gacha may discourage some folks, and thats reasonable. They value their wallets, or they think its gonna have some dumb gameplay. [spoiler] Me? I hadn't really thought of playing it in my life! so why'd I get it? same as almost every game I play. the memes I found out Japanese Lisa makes funny exhaustion sounds, end of story, now I main with Lisa.[/spoiler] Now, you dont need to pay a cent to play this game, that's just for Gacha currency, which you can get as you play the game and do daily commissions, open chests, etc. Just gotta have patience, and save up. thoughts on other matters... [spoiler]The story is opened through AR progression, thats fair, it keeps you paced so you dont blaze through it all. It gives you time to do side quests, events, and exploration speaking of exploration, these areas are huge, gosh dang. There's islands I didnt even know existed! and in terms of starter characters, the traveller is just my main since the Ameno ability is basically whatever element it touches, and Lisa is pretty good as well, especially when it rains or youre by water. absolutely wrecks groups. You get Noelle basically in the Gacha tutorial. she is a Tank, a DPS, and a Healer. s o , u m , y e a h . Amber may suck, but thats cause she's a bow character. its a given. basically, you can just use these. turn to Gacha if you want the waifu bait or Klee In terms of leveling up, its basically a grind for resources. nothin new. (given what forum we're on...) With difficulty, yeah, every world rank up might make enemies tougher, but remember: [I]you can multiplayer![/I] sometimes one can forget that this isn't a solo only game. and if you dont want to play with people... yeah thats reasonable, tough it up. [/spoiler] [spoiler]what I find nice, or at least interesting, is that MiHoYo used a lot of anime VA's... heck, an upcoming character, Hu Tao, is voiced by Japanese Megumin and English blue haired Ram. effective business strats, cause they got me saving up.[/spoiler] oh and, the music is just, [i]BEAUTIFUL[/i] you could SLEEP to most of them. Qingxi Mountain's background music makes you want to idle in the middle of no where. and its not like youre too busy to hear it, this is exploration music. even then the boss music is also pogs. -- id say dont give up on it yet, maybe take a break every now and then sure, but its a fun game thats still growin, so of course theres gonna be rough patches, but also things to look forward to. oh yeah, and its doing pretty well for a [u]Chinese Gacha game[/u]...
