>>51320440Being "competitive" is what this game is all about. The first chapter of the story is easy, but I can't say about the others cause I still haven't done it due to all the events and farming this game requires you to do.
If you don't do that, you may be stuck to story-only, and unfortunately to get certain characters and use them you need to be "competitive". The farming is just infinite, literally everything in this game is farmable. If you get a character, you must get it 4 times more to max its moves. Then you have to max stars, max stats, max abilities, and there's likee 4 kinds of abilities, with one opening to a huge roster of abilities that you get randomly by extra rare items that you have to extra farm... it's a mess
I don't think even who started at day 1 and without paying hundreds could manage to get and max all the main characters. Aka those that you don't get from eggs
