>>42707635GBF gives you a fuck load of quests to do, a fucking massive grind for the equipment you want and regular events that usually also have some other item you want to get, every time an event happens.
Around 10 times a year, there's an autism event where you want to score as highly as you can for greater rewards, one of which you're not really going to be able to get any other way.
That autism event and the game in general promotes you finding and playing the game in a crew.
Among equipment, there are a considerable amount to aim for throughout the game. A new player will need to get one set of equipment so that they can fight the stronger enemies to start getting a better set of equipment and so on, so there's an actual sense of ongoing progression.
The hardest enemies in the game require some of the best equipment you can get and a powerful team, and can reward you with some especially rare but important items that can help to improve your equipment further.
Also, each character has a story, usually involving a handful of others, and these groups have entirely different stories from each other. These stories can be explored through events, some of which are sequels to others, and through Fate Episodes, which are identical to Sync Pair Stories. They're far more in depth and varied though.
