the reason why i'm bleh on gacha is because the characters come across more as tropes than fully realized characters. here's your spunky tsundere, he's the white-haired bishounen, etcetera. whereas traditional rpgs tend to dig more into characters. i'm sure there's gacha out there that are the exception but this is my experience with all of the gachas i've rped with so far
'this character is x, y and z!' okay but why should i care? are they x, y and z as a consequence of their life choices, the worldbuilding, what? gacha feels so boilerplate to me. which makes sense, they want to appeal to the most people for $$$
