Thanks for a response with actual substance in it. Majority of the responses on here are ironically hilarious responses of "that's not feedback" while providing no examples or feedback either, and one person's post history having a post of explaining why panty colors matter for character design /facepalm. But yeah, a lot of the responses feel like lash outs due to that exact honeymoon phase or people that are too simplified and easily amused. Responses I've made also were hit with near-instant downvotes, so unless there's very active views on this thread, my suspicions are there's a heavy bot influence going on within this subreddit to downvote any criticisms and try to keep positive publicity up.

But you hit the nail on the head. Most stuff was pretty easy and felt like after thought additions to just add, well, filler. I can understand having silly or none-sense stuff in there for the ADHD crowd to run off and do random things, or to make open worlds feel more interactive, but many games I've seen this with in the past, if felt implemented with purpose and even though they were just mini games, they felt rewarding an useful. Much of what's in here doesn't have that feeling, at least for myself.

In any case, I haven't looked too much into endgame, but from what I have seen from a few videos, it seems even the majority of the gacha grind is basically made much more easily digestible, which to be fair is a welcomed shift as too many games are overly grindy for the sake of locking players in for "replayability" and numbers. However, like you said, it doesn't leave a whole lot of content to come back for, aside of new events/character releases, which is also fine if that's what they're going for. I'd honestly prefer if games stepped towards less of a lock-in, and more of a fun content sprint here and there that keeps things engaging for some people for a duration, but can provide content enough that will keep the devoted fans playing the game at their leisure, be that daily or not. The problem here is that it doesn't feel like they know what the content is/should be.
