This game should've been a gacha game.

I hate to say it, but it would translate to a longer lasting, higher quality live service game. Now it's just a one and done single player game that people will forget about it in a month. Kind of surprising from Cygames considering they absolutely love the gacha model.

Live service models taint whatever they touch. And gatcha doubly so. This game is WAY better off having NEITHER of those aspects.

Wanna wait for the story chapters to roll out over 6 months? That's what you get from live service.

Wanna wait for new endgame quests to roll out over another 6 months? That's what you get from live service.

Wanna get one free character every 3 months? That's what you get from gatcha.

Wanna pay hundreds of dollars to max out a single character? That's what you get from gatcha.

When you say you want something to be a gatcha live service those are the kinds of things you're inviting. You REALLY want them to slow down the ENTIRE game? Do you REALLY want them to sell faster access to ALL the characters?

You're nuts if you think that BS would improve this game. I like gatcha games somewhat but after playing them for years I'd REALLY rather just be able to pay one price and have everything.

If only they had a gacha game!!

Gacha game models are always a negative. The good gacha games are good despite being gacha, not because they use a gacha model.

That's the point, not everyone needs to spend money. You can play without paying a cent. You leave the p2w to the whales.

And you can play Destiny 2 "for free" but do I really need to finish this sentence for you to realize the problem with your arguement?

Destiny 2 sells paid expansions. You cannot play them for free. Epic sometimes gives them away for free but Epic is always giving away games for free.

Gacha games do not have paid expansions and you can play the content for free. You might not be able to handle the currently released content without paying to win, but eventually you can. Some gachas like Genshin Impact even allow you to keep up with the whales in terms of clearing the newest content as long as you understand how to build an effective team.

They can Gacha it up anytime they want, really. For example, building a huge player-base and easing it in, real slow first through swimsuit cosmetics , later dropping an expansion with link/damage/mats/pets that fight with you (stopping here before one of the devs reads this and has a Gacha relapse).

Listen, they made their money, they can fund another project now, grow the brand, drop more remakes by copying the formula they used here (likely at an accelerated rate now), sellout high and retire rich, fat, and young to their Okinawa beach mansions and have Hitomi Tanaka applying their suncreams.

While Gacha is not what I want, I kind of wish they had a live service approach to this game. The endgame is really fun, but limited in content. A monster hunter like service schedule would do a game like this good.

That was precisely their pitch though, DLCs and title updates down the line, exactly like Monster Hunter, which ISN'T a live service game.

Hot Take: This game has the foundation to being a very fun MMORPG, where we can choose our race and our class (MC Jobs). The Boss fights reminds me heavily with FFXIV Trial fights with the coating of Monster Hunter.

Of course making an MMO is very risky and expensive but the reason why most MMO's don't live that long is because they lack a proper foundation.
WoW had Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 and the lore books
XIV has the entire Final Fantasy franchise
ESO has the entire Elder Scroll franchise

Guild Wars is the very few that managed to stand on their own without a known foundation.

Granblue Fantasy's world is very vast and they managed to make a solid foundation that could help them stand on their own for an MMO.
The Single Player Main Story has heavy dungeon run vibes.
The Fights against the Primal Beasts have heavy Trial/Raid Fight vibes
Each character have their own fighting style/mechanics and fulfill a role
They have everything established, they just need to make it work.

I personally would love to play a Female Draph ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) with a huge ass sword with Siegfried's playstyle.

EXACTLY!

ahah nope I wouldn't have even started playing this game if it was another gacha game
