Fundamentally divisive game that has the potential to draw one into a most idyllic world worth staying in casually:
+ beautiful fantasy setting with gigantic zones being frequently and seamlessly added
+ brilliant first exploration experience for dozens of hours
+ steadily growing cast of diverse and friendly characters
+ elegant and vibrant art style
+ lovely soundtrack
+ simple combat that still allows for many strategies
+ barely noticeable power creep
- Gacha items that can all be acquired for free but might take months to be guaranteed
- many more incentives to play daily rather than longer sessions
- needlessly wordy dialogue that can't be skipped
- tedious daily/weekly activities without a lot of variety
- (unnecessary) power boosts and cosmetics locked behind absurd paywalls
- repetitive endgame with optimization rather than unique rewards as goal
