Every gacha game is different but the short answer is for Square's games, you usually do not have to buy anything to complete the game, however there's all kinds of side content that will be extremely difficult without buying things.

Additionally they like to hold your OCD hostage. They'll give you sephiroth for free with a wooden sword and sell you the masamune in lootboxes with a 1% chance. (Just an example, not saying this is what happens in FF7EC)

no, but depending on how its designed, could take a long time without money to speed things up.

I played the beta and got decently for into it, but as I crept closer to the end, I needed decent non-paid gacha stuff to advance cuz the enemies were matching my strength.

There is strategy in the game, at least for a decent mobile game, but this is a game about numbers, and if your numbers are too low, you aint advancing

It's ok. I haven't gotten too far yet. The Gacha aspect so far is just for weapons and armor. Looks like you can play through the original story, crisis core, and first soldier after the tutorial section.

Not very likely.

SE does shut down a lot of their games, but there are ones that's lasted a number of years; for example, War of the Visions is going on its fourth anniversary for the JP version and has been around 3.5 years for the rest of the world. The original Brave Exvius is on year seven, I think.

With that being the case, and with this game not being steaming garbage in terms of gacha, it will almost certainly last at least a few years. VII is a big name, and this is no First Soldier (which was widely considered horrible, and I shared that opinion).

It depends.

If you don't like gacha, this won't win you over. As someone who greatly enjoys gacha (and even prefers them over traditional games), I like this very well; VII is one of my all time favorites and the gacha is one of the more forgiving ones out there.

They're free and often offer a longer lifespan compared to a normal game because they get frequent updates over a span of years.

I mean, I don't dislike gatcha as a concept, I'm just wary of how much money each particular iteration expects you to throw into it and also waste on shit pulls and considering this is f2p, my standard judgment is to err on the side of "they want to steal all my money"

I'm playing it right now. Reroll is easy and decent amount of free gems to start.

For me it's kinda cool because I never played any of the side games outside of the original FFVII. So it's nice experiencing Crisis Core, First Soldier, Dirge of Cerebrus for the first time

Not to mention I like how they have an updated art style of the original FFVII as the overworld but in game and cutscenes the graphics look really nice nice

All paid gacha is gacha trash.

Even if the game is technically "playable" without spending money, the developer is 100% incentivized to make it as frustrating, slow, and unpleasant as possible to try to nudge you toward their slot machines.

Every single paid gacha is subject to disgusting power creep, obscene grinds, and some of the most disgusting psychological manipulation tactics on the market (the example of giving you sephiroth with a wooden sword, and a 1% change on a slot machine to roll his actual sword is a great example).

Gacha is shit, designed from the ground up to psychologically batter the player into dumping their life savings into a slot machine. There is no "good" gacha, there's only people who are better able to deal with the battering. To which I say: good for you. You aren't the target. And the game would still be better without the slot machine.

Games are good in spite of gacha, never because of it. Nobody has ever looked at a game and said "damn, I wish the developers would lock all my progression rewards behind a real money slot machine!" Developers are specifically incentivized to make the game WORSE because of it.

dont forget they can controll the odds at all times

they could make it so sephiroth with is real sword is only availble from 1pm-1:30PM on wensdays and never tell anyone this and he is impossible to get any other time

hell they could do this and also make him a event reward that lasts 1 week

thuse only 30 minutes of the entire event actually gives him out

I'm enjoying the game a lot, rerolling is incredibly simple, the game seems to be pretty generous if you're F2P, and I've been saving my currency since I don't care for Cloud or Barret(aside from a single multi), and I don't feel like my progression is hampered because of that. The only real complaint I have so far is the story for the new characters is incredibly boring so far.

Oh, and I've spent a staggering $2 on the game, with zero intention of spending any more.

Because of international laws in China and Korea they have to publish the odds. If Sephiroth is only available for 30 minutes that would have to be stated in game on the same screen where you'd get him.

A abridged story. You get every other scene and it it's divided in bite sized sections. All scenes last about 2-3 mins

Let's say in OG your Bombing Mission is:

Outside Reactor Station > Meet the Team > Enter Reactor > Reach Elevator > Head down to Reactor Floor > Plant Bomb, Fight Scorpion > Escape > Help Jessie > Fight and Escape completely

EC Bombing Mission is more like:

Meet the Team > Enter Reactor > Head down to Reactor Floor > Plant Bomb, Fight Scorpion > Cutscene of your escape
