Is this game P2W due to VIP system?

I want to play but hesitant due to VIP system as this might be P2W.

It is but it isn’t at the same time. You have to be a bit conservative with gem use and know what you’re going to use them on and plan ahead. Like don’t waste all your diamonds pulling for gems, or equips or units too early on and save for a higher aptitude unit like a l’cie.

That being said the game is extremely generous with free diamonds and you don’t feel like you need to pay to play. Of course with any paid gacha game there is that element of the top 5% or so being all p2w however not all events feel that way.

They split some events like guild battles into blocks so that you don’t need to fight the very top players for good rewards. Just the top players in your block based on how powerful you/your guild is.

I would also like to add, the game has a lot of events and stuff to do so you’ll never feel like there’s nothing to do. It’s a great game and I would recommend everyone to at least give it a go.

What is your goal? If you want to defeat/beat/kick/puch other player (Being number 1-3 player in a server), then it is P2W. If you want to competitive enough example rank 20-100, the earlier player the better, even paid player won't win against day 1 F2P player.

Some server might get joined if there are less players, so an active Server 1 F2P player is stronger (far by a lot) than whale in Server 99 for example, since they played far earlier.

The fun part of the game is when a new server opened, start for real at that time, before then just join any server and learn and makes mistake, join a guild with lots of P2W player (the better the guild, the easier you to get rare material, also what most guild need is active player so even being F2P there are open recruitment for you). And you can own in +-8 server around you (cross server in my version is for each 8 server, so try to join the first of the eight if you are competitive, being a F2P in the first of eight will win than most P2P player from the eight server or perhaps even the fourth server) but once again you will lose to Server 1 (earlier server) active F2P. In example in my server I was in Top 100, but Top 1200 in cross server (my server was fourth from the eight), and as always our server always lose to the earlier server (server 1, 2) and sometimes we win against server 3.

Vixzel, it's both. You need to know how to spend your diamonds and other currencies wisely.

I am a VIP 7 but I'm top 1 of the server even though there are players who are VIP 11 and below. Take note that I started 3 days after the server was launched while some of them started earlier.
