Yes, I played the game for over 1k hours and cleared most of the achievements, so you would expect that my opinion on this game would be quite positive. Well, no. Starting off with the positive aspects. Firstly, the gacha system is very forgiving in my opinion, especially when I compare it to other games of this genre. I'm here for "free to play," and I could still pull most of the outfits I wanted. Also, even without spending money on this game, you will be able to clear the story without any issues. There may be parts where you should pull for an outfit or level your characters and weapons, but it will be fine. Also, the First Soldier story is quite interesting and is the part of the game that keeps me motivated to continue playing.

As for the negative parts... The game is actually very boring. You can't even skip battles you already cleared, so daily time takes around 30 minutes, which is too long in my opinion. The combat system itself isn't really fun, so you may just switch to auto battle once your characters are strong enough. Despite EC including story sections for OG VII and CC, it just doesn't seem like a game for new fans, which is a shame. EC feels like it was supposed to summarize the different stories of VII, yet DoC and BC are missing. I'm not sure if it was even supposed to be in this game, but to me it kind of feels like it. So even for VII fans, the only interesting aspect of EC would be First Soldier.
Well, we do have event stories, but at some point I started skipping through them because they weren't interesting, and I don't think they are actually relevant to the main story. Also, most event stories pretty much favor the same characters, so if your favorite is like Barrett or Cait, then don't expect too much.

Which brings me to another point: sometimes it's hard to form a party with your favorites because it's often the same characters who receive new outfits. I was actually surprised when Matt finally got a new outfit that actually had some impressive effects because SE ignores most of the characters.

wasnt too bad until the game completely stopped working after about 9 hours.
the file wont unistall from my computer and it seems to slow the computer down in general.
Do not reccomend
