Why so much hate?
So I keep on seeing people complaining about this game after its release and I have to ask, does it really deserve the hate?

As someone who has been watching the game progress and has been interested in the game even after it's release and people started grumbling about it. Now that I have a PC that can actually run it, I'm wondering if I should be concerned or as someone who is typically a free to play player (and doesn't typically do PvP) will I still have a good time, exploring the world, playing around with the characters, learning the lore and playing the story?

I played it and had fun with it. Might have been something the company did that got some peeps upset. Honestly, best just to play it and make your own decision

I will say that I do enjoy it, though the shop is a bit confusing.

My hate is towards the multiplayer aspect, it is exactly how you DON'T make an MMO.
Content gets oudated quickly and deserted, endgame players keeps doing the same small cycle.
ToF wants to be an mmo, but has the worst aspects combined: the gacha and dead contents that no one do.

People always tell you the same like "bruh, you don't even need to swipe" or "just join an active server" which is complete bs.
A successful mmo has to stay relevant in early, mid and end game ALWAYS. Without the early and mid players you just keep the remaining loyal players that ultimately get bored and quit, resulting in this wasteland we know now.

Worst of all, the game was incredibly fun up to 2.0, but they never learned a thing with the co-op purple chests that nobody bother anymore, the minibosses that are hard to solo, the world bosses that no one cares anymore.

Worse, it should not even be allowed to exists for how badly it is monetized.

Everything is built around micro transaction, from A to Z.

Here's one of the problem OP. Outdated views.

The game has now "World Levels" so you can actually clear exploration points that needs to clear a timed battle or minibosses. They are designed to be cooped but now u can solo it.
Most people left indeed so there is a lot of "outdated takes"

Doesn't change this though..

Maybe if they didn't try to constantly milk players, there wouldn't be so much "outdated takes".

Oh the world might be finally scaled which should of been done all the way back in 2.0, but I guess they did something? Or they waited till 2.5 to direct port.

I used to like this game and I still think it can be very fun for you for a few weeks but after they recycled the godawful hide and seek event again and made it EVEN WORSE I finally saw the light that is the truth that these people do not give a single ♥♥♥♥ about your time. Literally 95/100 people fully afk through this event and even some of the previous ones because they are just that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful and it needs to change but it won't. they'll keep recycling the ♥♥♥♥ they already created which nobody likes. And I haven't even mentioned how they just slowly kept increasing the amount of times you need to grind this ♥♥♥♥ by reducing the event currency it provides while hoping nobody notices I guess. disgusting.

the game is lifeless lets take asperia for example. after you 100% the entire map and do all the quests what do you have to do? absolutely nothing except some bounties that take just a couple of minutes to do and random chests all over the place. thats it there is nothing to do in the game other than instanced based junk for resources to rank up things that has way too low of a drop rate. this is a mobile app made into a pc game with little to nothing to do in it.

there is incident where hackers can stole players' Red Nucleus, Gold Nucleus, and Dark Crystal during a random join operation, was indeed tragic. It had a severe impact on players' trust and left an unforgettable mark. It's important to acknowledge that this was just one of the many issues that plagued the game.

Another significant frustration was the lag experienced in certain game modes, such as Void Abyss. Furthermore, despite being an MMORPG, the game often felt empty due to the servers' inability to handle a large number of players in one place. This persistent issue greatly diminished the overall gaming experience.

I agree with you that the game has great potential, with beautiful graphics and decent character design. However, it seems that the continuous mishaps have been detrimental to the game's overall quality.

However, I've been playing this game since its initial launch, and I've managed to whale out for the character they labeled as "Limited." But now, that character has become a standard banner. It's so weird; I just don't know what they were thinking :steamfacepalm:.

It is a damn shame, they dare to charge 100-200 usd for a character skin while running the server on the cheapest hardware to have a lag festival.

This is a mobile gacha trash game, ported on PC, and it runs horrendously.

This hotta trash and its publisher must disappear and the name forgotten for good.

The World is in the state of Great Depression. Since they can't change the world, they express their dissatisfaction via other means.

As long as you enjoy Anime aspects of this game, stay far away from the online forums, and depressive groups like this.

"Don't let behavior of others destroy your inner peace." - Dalai Lama.

yea bury your head in the sand and just experience things that may be a waste of time for you instead of trying to save the ultimate currency (time) by not wasting it on a inferior product what ever that may be.

I had ton of fun on the release and played a lot but I realised how terrible this gacha was and how useless most of the characters are without having copies. (forget the name of it)
I saved the gems for months just to lose literally every 50/50 and if you cant hit pitty all your coins getting transformed to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ones.
This game is just a scam

Yeah, that's exactly how i got fooled. Never played a gacha before, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Aside the gacha scam and shameful monezation, the game is far from being an MMO. So even false advertise. It is more like an online RPG.
