Currently playing FGO and Star Rail. Started FGO about 3.5 years ago and still keep up with it. One thing that I’ve realized since I’ve started is that these types of games are meant to be played over years, not days. So it’s easy to feel like you hit a wall in progression for your characters early on. Once I figured that out, it became a lot less annoying when I felt like I couldn’t upgrade characters to where I want them to be.
Gacha itself is gambling, and like all things, can be fine in moderation. But as such it definitely preys on people susceptible to addiction and FOMO.
Star Rail seems a bit better designed and paced so far than Genshin, and I find the turn based system more suited to my preferences.
