I’ve played this game since day 1 and despite being able to auto almost everything except high power content, it has been very enjoyable and very F2P. The game is all pve and you aren’t competing with other players. You don’t have to summon on most banners because old gear are all still very viable. The banner rates have been pretty fair for me so far. The Chocobo stamp board is the pity system and it’s better than other gacha games I’ve played because you can get the banner weapon and costume guaranteed and can hit pity faster with the chance of getting more than 1 stamp from summoning. I only have 2 big complaints with this game. The first one is that the stamina cap should be a lot higher and have a faster recharge time. You’ll burn through stamina very quickly because of the x9 stamina usage, meaning you’ll only be able to do 1-2 runs and if you don’t have stamina boosters or don’t wanna spend crystals for stamina then that’s it your pretty much done playing. The second thing is that currently costumes are gone forever when their banner is gone. There’s a lot of old costumes that I wished I had but I can no longer get and newer players can never get them. Just slowly add a few older costumes at a time into the costume exchange shop, all the costumes currently in that shop are bad and it will make buying the costume exchange tickets actually worth getting.

Great game but it’s definitely pay to play as you progress. The features draws, even the ones you pay for are so much worse than ticket draws. Featured draws supposedly have a higher chance for 4 and 5 star weapons but the passed 11 draws only gave me an x1 block and all 3 star weapons and none of them are the weapons I selected that I need. Ticket draws always give me at least 2 4 star and 1 5 star but I never actually get that from paid draws. It’s not worth it at all to pay for draws. The soldier pass that’s supposed to give you 4x rewards from battles only actually gives you the 4x every 5 battles not every battle like you pay for. Trying to provide feedback never works either it won’t allow me to copy the email to actually send to support and report anything. Every time I increase characters in levels my actual damage done goes down even if I increase my attack level. I don’t know what you guys are doing to the stats in this game but it’s not what you advertise. Otherwise it’s good to get started and maybe play occasionally. Provide what you advertise and I’ll actually put money into it again because the game is just getting worse to the point I don’t really wanna play anymore. Update 10 minutes later. I just did a 4 star guaranteed draw and every weapon was 3 stars. Honestly please don’t waste your money it won’t help you in any way.

I don’t usually play mobile games or “gacha” games whatever that means so that probably colors my review a bit. I find myself playing every few days or so when I have some time to kill and it seems like every time I login, I need to either update the app before playing or I need to download content. In either case by the time the game is ready to played I don’t have much time to play it. All the pop ups and rewards, special unlocks, purchases- they are quite annoying, perhaps the gacha part. I just want to play through the story. Which by the way, it feels like while they seem to be hitting the big story beats they are dragging out inconsequential moments that are good for short 3-5 minute battles or missions. For what it’s worth the graphics are awesome in the battles- the levels and characters are pretty closely recreated to original- just wish there was more level exploration rather than so many “fight this guy”. The battles are significantly dumbed down for original so they arn’t quite as fun. Overall 3/5, will continue to play but not an ideal way to catch up on the games FF7 story IMO
