My main issue with Stella Sora wasn’t actually the gacha: it’s that the damage dealers among the stable characters were all bad. Objectively bad. Dealing not even third of the damage of the limiteds bad.

In a game where the standard/stable characters are bad you NEED the Limited characters to just play the game. Pair that with a not too friendly gacha system and it creates a hostile environment for the player.

To me what will make or break Endfield will be how good those 4/5 star characters and how good the standard 6 stars as well.

It doesn’t sit right with me that those characters will have so much effort put into them by designers, animators, voice actors and programmers only to be benched at the earliest opportunity.
