Mentioned this in the Raid thread, but so far it is pretty good. The weeb factor aside which is pretty strong but doesn't currently venture in to the waifu collector stage strangely perverse character stuff thrown in your face. It is mostly just standard RPG fare.
I'm terrible at doing write ups for things so unfortunately can't really sell it. So far it seems to be very f2p friendly but there were some rumblings on reddit about people being unhappy about the JP version. I mean you can get like 30 something gems per week which is good for a few multi pulls a month.
Oh re-rolling is super easy and takes like 10 minutes to get back to the point where you can to 2x multi pulls and 2 normal. So 25? pulls, then clear data, and 10 min to try again.
There's also not -that- many units in the game and any duplicate unit you get is auto converted in to currency (coins) used to either purchase things from coin shop (sta pots, other characters, keys, etc..) or to upgrade characters ultimate abilities. And with doing multi 11 pulls per month you get quite a bit of dupes. The game also gives you very viable characters through main story, like 4 or so of the SSR ones which are highest rank.
Equipment isn't as tedious as some other games. There's 6 slots but three main stats: ATK, DEF, HP. You don't have to grind and wait for the perfect golden roll of a main stat and 4 different sub stats. You unlock sub stats through awakening items and can then reroll and improve the stats until you get what you want. So it shifts it to more of a money sink than just a level grind / drop rate. And you mostly only equip high level gear on the left side: bracer, neck, belt, while the right side can be just common gear since it provides mostly the % based increases.
PVP also seems pretty manageable as you don't drop tiers each week. The gem / chest rewards increase as you progress through Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc. But at the end of the week even if you're Gold 5 you don't drop back to Silver, so your rewards are guaranteed and you can slowly creep up. There's also Geared and Ungeared PVP so kind of a split there.
Anyways, if anyone jumps in let me know. I've cleared the main story and progressed decently far just since launch back a few days ago. There are some pretty good YouTube resources from people that played JP the last 8 months and I've consumed most of it. Couple of things that I didn't know but not big deals.
