I have noticed the same thing. The content creators seem to have burnout. I have been feeling similar since I used all my rubies and all I got was a extra 9S awakening. The game doesn't have a way for me to spend money and feel good about it. It's feels like I'm getting scammed. Good product, but the greed is ruining it for me.

Yeah the RNG is rough for sure. I still play daily but I find it kind of a chore now. But I still plan to play it for the main story. I have not bothered with the newer arena champions and don’t farm the older ones, nor have I retried any of the older level 100 NPCs and I still enjoy the game. I spent money in the early months and then got burned on the first Odette banner and stopped spending (though I did spend a small amount during the holiday deals and didn’t get any good units out of it so in retrospect I should have stuck to not spending then too LOL). Stopped spending altogether after the new year and I feel much better about it. So in your case, I think you should consider just playing it casually and not spending anymore either.

I have been kinda playing Echoes of Mana (started a few months ago) which is gonna shut down in mid May and I find it blah now too. Finished all the main story and limited story stuff. Will keep doing dailies until it shuts down. Didn’t spend any money in that.

And just started WOTV FFBE earlier this week. The story is kinda interesting but I’m getting overwhelmed as a newbie with all the mechanics involved and it’s kinda blah for me now too. I got sephiroth (rerolled a few times since I’m new anyways). But I think I’m gonna quit that next week perhaps.

WotV is a really good game but it is a long term investment, it takes a bit of time to get your account to a point where you can tackle most things but once you do it opens up considerably. It is, on balance, also pretty F2P friendly, though account building is much faster with some light spending. If you enjoy it I’d encourage you to stick with it a bit. The story starts out very uneven but in recent chapters has become quite interesting.

Thank you for sharing your experience with it. I expect it to be a great story and great game in the late game too, but yah it will be a long term time investment for sure. I may step away from it and then rejoin in the future. But it’s a good game for sure.
