. After testing d game out for 10 days+ (during d evangelion-mari&kaworu dec 2021 collab event, d simplest i can say for this game is ....it's an afk mecha gacha game with anime waifus + sim-rpg + all servers' item in usd cash cow mode. You either like d genre or you dont bother.
1. Auto cause u'll hv most battles done this way. Fights r lengthening n arduous n meaningless.
2. NPC AI Foes can link up into battles when engaged close enough, but urs dont despite hving multiple teams. Other than needing them to open doors here n there, your 3teams/4 formations x help one another(link up like d foes). Each are mutually exclusive n on their own in-battle.
3. Each bosses n stages are HP sponges n to get through them, you'll either need to grind d many components needed to slowly obtain them 4 free, or just folk up the USDs.
4. Most chars hv their own mech suit (4 parts), but d better ones r locked behind paid-crystals 12,000 crystals min (1.5k per banner). A good surplus is hving 22.5k crystals b4 gacha-ing 4 favs/meta. You'd need char copies 4 their "genes" to trade 4 d mech parts, to complete all 4s to get the mech's full power. U'd also need genes 4 their skills, traits, n char power ups. Expect lots of dupes.
5. The game has tier listed characters, if u x hv certain units, best re-roll or to play it on hard mode self indulgently.
6. The game only feels opened up after lvl 40+ (around 7-10 days grinding). Even then, you'd begin to understand what i meant by auto-afk-mecha gacha game grind if u had persisted.
7. Free resources (only if u keep grinding daily n repetitively). it gets boring real quick. And is only f2p friendly if u spent d 4-6hrs on afk auto-battling.
8. stop n reflect. if this is what players need to do on a daily basics now, then it'd still be d same on later levels. Just keep grinnding-afk. Battles r afk, but u need to guide them to atk post interval battles or they'll just stand still while d timer ticks down.
Overall, not my thing. d grind isnt even fun. just imagine a tier SS, grade SSR unit can output 4-6x the output if u hv them. If u hadnt selected them from newbie-selection/ paid to get them, ur experience w greatly differ than those that did.
UPDATED Review on FF_Crisis Core_PUBG_Battle Royale. After ***EIGHT*** WEEK's of gameplay on Mobile.
As at Jan 07, 2022 (utc+0)
Disclaimer: Since d game updated a slight bit over 2 mths, i hv deleted most of d initial reviews.
So, What's NEW??
1) The game is pretty much DEAD. The players u play with, on exception for a few already maxed out players n bought skins etc, the game is littered with BOTS, designed to either feed u, or kill ur afk ass.
You can test this out by visiting d edge of d maps, n wait 4 BOTS to spawn in near you to come kill you with d equipment u need. The hazard zone's closing in on u, n human players run from it, not towards you waiting at d edge of d hazard zones.
I'd say about 3-5-less than 10 players are actually real in any given fight. The rest all act like bots. They run to u, shoot u, n after taking dmg, runs away from u, to heal in a static position, n runs bck to u.
2) The only recent changes introduced to give some handicap to players is d introduction of "night modes" 4 u, but not on others. You can test this out too if u n a friend luckily joins d same standard match. For u that has won many fights, urs is night mode, cloudy n dark. For contenders, it's bright daylight.
3) After experimenting a bit, all classes are usable, but u'll need some gud player reflexes nonetheleast to contend w PC emulator users.
4) Chocobos hv been severely nerfed. They no longer one-hit KO players n they hv become quite ez to kill tgthr with their riders. Nobody mostly w ever bring a chocobo to a last 3-5 fight anymore.
On d upside, u no longer get super OP chocobos randomly. All chocobo starts with terrible stats n passives, w new passives added in, like being able to summon them again after a certain amt of time.
To get OP chocobos, u either need d at-launch chocobos, or u'll need to feed,breed, n try again n again to grind out a maxed chocobo tht only does 4 kicks at max stamina. And they arent as HP spongy as at launch anymore. And they dont one-hit KO anymore.
5) Player server brackets are still a thing, to best suit u in ur appropriate skill range. Eg more bots vs human players. And occasionally, always check if they hv automatically switched ur server location to up ur difficulty.
6) Most players are already seasoned rank 150/150, n all 5 classes 60/60. And d ones tht hvnt left were ones tht either paid cosmetics or just hv too much free time.
7) South America server closed recently, not 2 months in due to lack of players. The ones active are North America, Europe, East Asia China/Jp etc, n South east asia.
8) A good phone/ PC is still required w a stable n fast spd connection no more than 100ms (1 sec lag). Otherwise, u risk ur device freezing at vital matches, pvp, n ur character w just stand there like a figurine to be shot at.
9) I still continue to play in d SEA server because of their shitty connection n poor std of living. Im still winning many of my matches. Up to 900+ matches played, 642 top 10s, n 521 top 1s. But i can say more n more players r quiting over there. But this is reality, someone has to lose for d winners to hv Fun.
Overall, once u noticed most players are just BOTs in both english n jp names, ur gloating ceases to amaze even urself n u start to question ur spending habits buying into a single player, sorta multiplayer FF pubg, with just bots playing w u.
Im 8 weeks into d game, but im still enjoying d game cuz im winning most of all my matches, n taunting them after they lose.
EDIT: Look Up ALL the FF7 TFS twitch streams, letsplay, youtube stuffs. They ARE ALL PC EMULATOR Players. What nonsense crap u guys sprouting saying PC Emulators dont work on this game cuz i hv been hving it tough on mobile trying to beat "certain agile" players. Who knew my intuition was right all along !!!
i tried the game for a week, n i know for sure, i will not be missing this game. There's just no value in afk-auto-ing all battles, n all u gotta do is max lvl, max eq, max stats n auto to win. Each fight feels like chore, n braindead all d same. i'd be happier to just uninstall. dont waste your 4GB download quota on wasteless crap. Lastly, just my 2cents opinion. byes.
1GB on download, afterwards connection error -retry for hours on end. not sure if regional block, all it asked after installation was to access my media n device n then nth. still cant play d game. thinking to uninstall if same thing tml.
3 months in n i still hvnt gotten fed up by it yet. sure u'll grind exp mats for 80% of d content but it actually requires u to think a bit to play it. im entirely f2p yet i already cleared 79-79-79-79/90 spire tower floors of each elements in just 3 mths. sth 4 me to goad abt to others. i'll probably be playing for another 3 mths too becuz u'll need abt 3mths to get 1 legendary char in-game of d 4 available ones.
Cashgrab, watch ads n repeat levels over n over again with no real contents. it's like those idle clicker games, watch ads, get in-game resources, build n rebuild after watching ads n more ads.
Unless u r a hardcore-will-play-anything-if-it's this anime kinda guy, you will start grinding within the first hour of starting d game, n be bombarded with pay to buy energies to rewatch anime clips that hv nth to do with d gameplay. The character avatar has an annoying repeat of d same voice dialogue repetitively n if u switch it off, u switch off d entire game's sound effects too. Im nt sure why d game requires 1.5GB on installation n 200MB more on update, but it's a simple idle-rpg-battler with an anime reskin. it cant be all just for the HD anime clips, right?

You'd need char copies 4 their "genes" to trade 4 d mech parts, to complete all 4s to get the mech's full power. U'd also need genes 4 their skills, traits, n char power ups. Expect lots of dupes.

6. The game only feels opened up after lvl 40+ (around 7-10 days grinding). Even then, you'd begin to understand what i meant by auto-afk-mecha gacha game grind if u had persisted.

Overall, not my thing. d grind isnt even fun. just imagine a tier SS, grade SSR unit can output 4-6x the output if u hv them. If u hadnt selected them from newbie-selection/ paid to get them, ur experience w greatly differ than those that did.
2/5 for me.
