I've changed my review again to four stars, so far the game has definitely fixed a lot of their bugs and so forth. I ain't having nearly as many bugs as last time. so far they have also been pretty generous for F2P players, as I only spend money on the Battlepass when I complete it. Granite you can't go crazy with pulls, you have to save them sparingly. So far the last two limited banners I've gotten both the Esper and the Guide but obviously I can't max out their memories unless I spend money.

I really like the stories and characters in this game. There are a few different mechanics going to keep it interesting. The devs have definitely listened in helping a lot of bug fixes that is truly appreciated. I'd say the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is I started playing release and the game was definitely more generous with in-game rewards to pull for items. Within the last recent updates, it feels like that had significantly changed.

this game has been a pleasure to play so far, i am on chapter 3. the Christmas event and the rewards from continuing the story and meeting achievements have been very nice. I am struggling with trying to farm materials and being stuck in a loop of the loading/processing screen when I sweep chapter stages. the gacha system has been a bit of a pain in receiving any gold characters, but a lot of purple and blue and also in obtaining MANY guides, but no espers. the art is amazing and so is story.
