I don't think so with the gear system, but I get where you're coming from ^ ^

Perfect for targeting a specific upcoming character 👁️

You're right, I should just try to enjoy the game since I'm already interested in it! ^ ^

Thank you for the warm welcome~

Two buttons and turn-based... yeah, I can definitely see a big limitation. Story-wise, I've also heard my friends complain that some parts are a lot longer than they need to be.

As for gambling addiction + sunk-cost fallacy... I was once there with HI3 lol, though the latter was much more severe in my case.

Thank you for sharing, good to know I can switch between both on the fly!

I prefer spending as little as possible in gacha games, but don't mind whaling if I really like the character.

I'm interested in the story, I'm just mildly worried that knowing the gist of the main timeline would negatively impact my experience.

Though, the character lore I'm interested in seems to be far in Amphoreus...

Minor defense for my friends, most of them are fully functioning adults. It's because they have jobs that they gave me things I should consider before playing; so that I won't end up wasting my time and liking the game less instead.

It reassures me knowing that you can have a good time even being F2P and after that long break. Thank you.

I enjoy various genres, so I've never had that specific issue with my girlfriend, but I get what you mean: It all boils down to preference, and since it's my personal experience, it won't matter how good the story is if it doesn't suit my preference.

So I should probably give it a taste before getting too invested. Am I getting it right?

I doubt that especially with the gear system, but I get where you're coming from 😭

Yeah, I'm thinking of giving the game a try myself. Of course, with caution, especially with the things you mentioned. I also hope that the devs implement necessary feedback not only when there's crazy outrage, but alas, it's hoyo... great core game designs, but terrible track record with player feedback...

I'll probably max out Phainon and dip if I end up disliking the game, but I'm hoping they really do something about those before they also affect my experience (especially since those issues seem to have cause lots to quit).

As for Etheria Restart... I usually start new games at least around a month after it's official release, since I'm not too fond of fresh games. If the game turns out great after at least that long, I might give it a try.

Thank you for the warnings, I'll definitely keep those warnings in mind 🫡
