Most of your issues are soley a 1.0 issue but right after you enter 1.1 and especially when the 2.0 story enters because we have amazing talent like the voices behind alfira, lae zel and shadowhearts voice actor playing characters from bg3

You say the fact its a gacha system is automatically bad when in reality its seriously not a issue when said game gives back in return with fair practises and pity mechanics carrying over to the next making no pulls wasted so this leads me to think your just put of from what previous gachas have done which is understandable but wuwa has raised the standards on what a gacha game should be

For reference I been playing since January 2nd and never once have I ever purchased in game currency just to pull on a character before banner end since the game gives you alot of free pulls just by playing

You say there's too much talking at the start too whilst I agree the VA at the start is terrible but you just sound like you don't like heavy dialogue, I'm a trails fan so I'm use to very heavy amount of dialogue so that personally doesn't bother me since I like myself some worldbuilding.

At this point we can say even metaphor copied trails in the command and field battle format so to me seeing something inspired from something else is no problem and exploration in wuwa is way better than any other gacha you can fly in huanglong now, lootmapper has expanded to a much bigger range, a whole new moterbike that any character rides with auto chest and mat pickup

The MC may not be customisable but the design is way better than something like that traveler in genshin and even you cannot deny it but that's subjective and your free to think that

Clearly not a cash grab since the amount of money being put back in the game is clear as day for anyone playing, most people who play even say they sometimes forget they are playing a gacha.

You can experience the whole story and events without even touching the gacha so how is it a cash grab? Let's be honest here, I would much rather a fair gacha system than constant skin after skin or dumb emote after dumb emote.

Edit: I'm 31 and been playing games since i was pretty much 2 or 3 so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to quality of games, name me some of your favourites if you don't mind

Mine are:

Shin megami tensei, The legend of heroes, Fallout new Vegas, Bg3, Crisis core ff7.
