ZZZ is not only my favourite gacha, but also one of my favourite games, period. I was originally drawn to the game for it's urban aesthetic, beautifully designed characters and engaging combat, however, what hooked me, and keeps me playing to this day above all else is the incredible story. I've cried happy tears, tears of despair and tears of relief while going through this game's story. I've cheered, I've clapped, I've gotten annoyed, pissed off and outright mad; all reactions born from the masterfully crafted story.
This game is F2P friendly IF you're smart about where you spend your in-game currency. Don't do what I do and be a character collector. You'll end up with a very poor end-game combat experience. Instead, save your pulls for characters you absolutely cannot live without, whether they're ridiculously overpowered or simply because you love the character. Either way, save your pulls for those kinds of characters. Pull one copy of them, plus their w-engine, minimum. The more copies of both the character and w-engine generally makes combat a LOT easier.
Dailies can be done in under 5 minutes. Weeklies take more time, but I don't find anything particularly time intensive.
Constant schedule of new events, new story, new characters - all the time. This is good for some people, and not so good for other people. For me, it can feel overwhelming at times. I'd personally love a slower character release cycle to give us more time to prepare pulls, but this is the gacha game model after all; money money and all that.
F2P'ers will often struggle to get enough pulls. This isn't necessarily because the game isn't generous, but rather because there are new agents essentially every 3 ish weeks or so. Given the game's unfortunate pity system (50/50 for limited characters, 75/25 for limited w-engines) you COULD be set back as much as 340 pulls IF you get extremely unlucky while going for a character and their w-engine. It's pretty common to lose the character 50/50, so definitely prepare for that. The w-egine odds are a lot kinder, so you probably don't need to plan to lose those - but do keep it in mind.
All in all, this game is just incredible, and I hope it can continue in a good state for a good long while.
