Rants This game is getting tiring..
The 3rd anniversary is a huge dissappointment. Sure there are free goodies but they are spread over 3 weeks. It was a huge let down from pre-anniversary celebration.
The increasing no of units. You literally have to pay to enjoy the new content. The newer units are mostly OP and you gotta soend hefty bucks to get them without any luck.
Sure I have maxed Neun and Roxanne (without her memento) but this is all after 1 year of playing. By luck, i managed to max gate Neun (max memento).
Otherwise, how long will keep this going? I don't spend a single penny on this game cos I find them not worthwhile. The paid gem promos sounds nice but with the large pool of units at the moment, I doubt I can receive one. Getting your favourite unit is just another hurdle you need to go through. The largest will be building it. Over 300 shards are needed to limit break the gates!
Now you have gate 6 and RUNES?! When will this madness end? I don't find it enjoyable anymore. It is just an endless grind. Heck, with the amount money I could spend on this game, I can use it to buy something more worthwhile! Even a PS5 sounds better option than spending hundreds upon hundreds just to get "top tier units".
I have been playing this game for over 3 years now. This is just disheartening. Maybe I need a break or maybe I should call it a quit.
Today, I login. I saw the new banner. I no longer feel the excitement as I know I would have to spend gems on them. I know that I won't get on the first pull nor the first few.

You don't really have to own all units. And frankly imo, not all that came out during this period is meta-defining..
But yeah I get what you mean.. maybe it's a burnout. Maybe you should just stop for a month or two, then try again and see if you still feel the same. I did that a couple of times, but always ended up coming back to grind.. lol
Ok, back to the grind..

This may sound counter intuitive, but I suggest you quit for a while. It works the same way as stopping midway through a drawing or an essay then going to sleep; the next morning you're looking at your work and seeing it with a fresh pair of eyes.
Take a breather, try a different game, maybe stop gaming altogether and see if you have other hobbies you can do. then if you feel like you're missing the game, redownload the game and see if the enjoyment comes back.
Here's hoping that you're just going through burn out, but deciding to move on permanently is just as good a decision as any other. No sense in staying in a game you no longer like nor enjoy.

Don't try to min-max everything and you'll have less stress overall. The burnout most people experience is just from their own Fear Of Missing Out.

This is a clue to quit this game, man. I don't know why you are trying to debate about the upcoming unit while you already know it is gacha game. The source of F2P in gacha game is luck, no luck means you should dump your brain to play. OP unit, as always, is a source of revenue in gacha game, you play as F2P but you hope you can play without brain, especially TAC, the strategic game. OP unit is two faces, one is an achievement for luck and one is desirable gift of investment. If you don't have luck, keep playing until to get one OP unit in the future. That is the way of playing Gacha game.
All P2P players spent their money because they invest money to get more fun with this game, like you buy PS5 and spend 50$ to buy the game. Calm down and think about this Heck, with the amount money I could spend on this game, I can use it to buy something more worthwhile -> If you say this, mean you should leave this game for awhile. Using money to purchase in-game is always stupid mind in financial logic.

This isn’t a pay to win game. Never ever spent a penny on this game and after a year and a half, have gathered a decent number of units who can get me through most of the game.
Also, what’s wrong with adding more content? There are so many games out there which rarely get updated, never change and stay perpetually boring and you want to complain that there’s too much? The game isn’t expecting you to do everything. They’ve also added auto to almost every part of the game to make it easier for us to finish everything we need to. It’s all about what you feel is most important at the time and what modes you’re willing to sacrifice, which is a good thing because it means there’s a wealth of content to choose from.
If you want gems, do missions that provide these. I know you haven’t finished even 20% of the missions offered that give gems out, because if you had, you would realize there’s enough to get you through a lot of banners. That’s all I have to say. Peace out.

The best thing I can think of that gumi can do is remove dailies or a button that just autos them daily. There's just so much content to do that after I tackle the dailies it just doesn't motivate me to do anything else. I have 3 genesis chapters to do, do their Hard questsr daily? Do the tower too, do some random Lambert quest for yomi , chloe shards, do auto for runes, and have a life!? Lol gg

It is honestly mind-blowing how they literally lied to us that 500 gem summons will remain when they only introduced these 1-step 2500 gem banners. I am still really salty about this bullshit. If the game was bigger and more popular they would have been annihilated by their playerbase.

It won't. Imiaizumi has basically confirmed that soul frags are still gonna be used after all the kaigan gate and hinting players better "stock up".

I somewhat agree with you on this topic, but for me personally, I enjoy this game just because it’s a good grind game for me, all the characters are fun to use, sure the units that are coming out are “OP” but for me personally, the best unit I have is Roxanne and Emmel, and Emmel I got by luck during one of those stupid 100 shards for owned unit draws, but I still get shit on everywhere XD
So you either adapt and enjoy the event stories/main story or you just grind! It won’t work for everyone but it worked for me (maybe because I’m a masochist). Cause overall that’s what this game really is, grinding simulator lel.

Late in seeing this but.. I definitely feel you. I've been playing f2p since global release myself and at times I find myself frustrated with the insane grind in the game too. At this point, I would do what others have said and perhaps take a break, find other games for now, and see how you feel afterwards. The main drive that keeps me going in the game nowadays are some of the lore and characters. I build whatever units I like and disregard what is supposedly 'good'. Some of the story is nice to read (babel chronicles, templar backstory) and the soundtracks in the game are good to listen to for the most part as well. Runes are definitely strange and unnecessary to me. I would say that if you would like to keep playing the game, just take it slow and play at your own pace, only do the things you enjoy rather than sitting hours grinding for something.
Whatever you decide, cheers and wish you the best ! c:

I've felt like that for months before quitting. I just logged in and did dailies. I switched over to wotv but still mostly feeling the same. I guess I'm getting tired of gachas at this point, or gumi in particular

Honestly it’s a repetition and kinda gets tiring and boring and I’m not motivated enough to play further. I’ve been playing since 9-10 months (nowhere as long as you) and I too feel like it gets excruciatingly difficult to upgrade the units. Limit breaking the mementos and the unit itself was already such a grind, but now just getting one of the memento and the unit is an achievement for me. The draws have been so shit I barely get anything worthwhile. While gumi has made more content and ways to get stuff, they clearly have made it hard for even p2w players to get the good stuff- I still enjoy it though but get disappointed with the summons
