for a while, sometime after the spark implementation and before the past couple years, granblue fantasy was a fairly accessible gacha that i recommended for anyone who enjoyed grinding and maybe didn't mind paying $30 for a character every now and then.

as of 2023, i feel granblue's gacha system and paid weapons have become so overwhelming the game is no longer worth introducing anyone to. the fact gacha weapons are standard even in magna (the 'f2p' grids) because they're so strong is insanely discouraging, and i say this as someone who plays primal light enough to have 2 harmonias, 2 rinnes, and 4 edens.

only play this game if you're interested in the story/characters. the state of game balance is dreadful and has only been getting worse.
