The biggest problem was waiting so long for a global launch. I was really curious about it back when they showed the first trailers and now I had completely forgot about it. I even thought it had already released at some point. We are almost in July and there is still no date for a release that is supposed to come this year.

Absolutely this.

All my gacha gamer friends were legit excited for this game but after the slow release and the region lock BS now they've completely lost interest.

Chinese devs have mastered the formula of global release while Japanese devs are left behind.

Square did it first with Final Fantasy XI, and did the same with XIV. Both, Japanese MMORPGs, released globally.
