Pay Up Or Play On: Ultimate Bunny [Long Post Ahead]
If you've just started on this game and you're wondering if you should pay real money to get Ultimate Bunny (just an example), or if you should unlock her by playing, here's my run-down of that particular scenario:

As of writing, Ultimate Bunny can be purchased for 3,000 Caliber. That's the bogus game shop currency, and it can only be purchased in packs. The relevant one in this case would be the 3,920 Caliber Pack which costs €70 or $76. For this you get:
1 Ultimate Bunny,
1 Apex Predator Head Skin,
1 Apex Predator Body Skin, and
1 Extra Descendant Slot.

According to Nexon Ultimate Bunny will be available within minutes of payment clearance.

Alternatively, if you want to unlock Ultimate Bunny using Anais's research shop, you'll need:
1 Ultimate Bunny Enhanced Cell,
1 Ultimate Bunny Stabilizer,
1 Ultimate Bunny Spiral Catalyst, and
1 Ultimate Bunny Code.

Each of the above items consists of multiple other items and steps. I'll just go through the Enhanced Cell and the Bunny Code.

The Ultimate Bunny Enhanced Cell consists of:
1 Enhanced Cell Blueprint, which you get by creating the Amorphous Material Pattern 009, which you obtain from the Stunning Beauty Intercept Battle available at Level 22. Then you have to complete missions in Vesper and Hagios. Vesper is the 3 Field and Hagios is the 7th Field.
73 Encrypted Neural Circuits which you obtain by completing missions in Echo Swamp (5th Field).
919 Ceramic Composites obtained by completing missions in White-Night Gulch (8th Field).
949 Repton, which can be found everywhere.
It takes 18 hours for Anais to do the research and she needs 450,000 Gold for her trouble.

You'll notice that you have to be at least Level 22 to get anywhere, and considering that Hagios and White-Night Gulch are the last two Fields to unlock, I'm guessing between Level 80 and Level 95 to obtain the Ceramic Composites. The Stabilizer and the Spiral Catalyst follow the same procedure.

You can also employ the "Lottery Plan" and complete different types of Special Missions. Some hard-to-get materials should drop as rewards, but again it's meant to be a total lottery.

Finally, let's just go over the Ultimate Bunny Code:
You need to create Amorphous Material Patterns 052 and 106. These drop from the Hanged Man Intercept Battle at Level 95 and Obstructer Intercept Battle at Level Unknown, respectively. And you have to complete missions in Echo Swamp.

When you have collected all materials and met all requirements, Anais will need 900,000 Gold and 36 hours to give you Ultimate Bunny. That means you'll have to amass a total of 2,250,000 Gold and wait for 90 hours*.

So, which is it going to be: Pay up, or play on? Or delete the game and get a life?

* Correction: The wait is "only" 54 hours since you can research multiple items simultaneously.

I'd be less opposed to the idea of grinding if I could grind what I want instead of having to grind the way the game wants me to for certain things.

For example, in Warframe I can farm for platinum and then buy prime warframe parts with that instead of having to do something I don't enjoy to get it.
As far as I can see so far the paid currency here is not tradeable.

Actually this is a lot worse than Warframe. The grind here is disgusting, the prices are outrageous too. In Warframe you can get everything for free in very short time, this is not the case here with The First Descendant.

While NExon is... well, Nexon, i'm sure you can see how it is not very interesting for them (not defending tho)

The irony being that people will pay more for things like outfits that give a glimpse of bum if they are already able to play the character rather than being gouged for the character.
