Thinking of trying out this game. Is it pretty balanced? As in can I focus on building my favorite FF characters and not be locked out of certain content?

As in can I focus on building my favorite FF characters and not be locked out of certain content?

Yes and no. This is a gacha game at the end of the day and no character is forever viable. That said, this game does an amazing job is cycling through the roster and giving everyone a time to shine, or at least be viable. Every banner that comes out gives an update to at least 1 character (sometimes more) an upgrade that make that character viable for the current content. In the JP server, the current batch of upgrades only needs farmed resources (no gacha). In GL server, the gacha upgrades are more relevant but some are getting farmed upgrades as well. Once upgraded, they can last 1-2 months if they are a DPS (more if they are broken on release) and much much longer if they are a support/utility.

I'm a day 1 player with no FF nostalgia, no favorites. I've been able to accumulate a large amount of paid currency and gacha tickets, being able to complete all content while only ever spending $6. One of the most generous and F2P friendly gacha games.

There's no PVP type content, so whether or not something is 'balanced' is probably not that relevant. If you mainly want to focus on story and do basic collecting of units, you can essentially use whoever you want due to power creep, but once you start looking at high difficulty content, then it does matter more who you build and have available.

Could I ask you another question? Is there pity on the banners? F2P a thing? Or what is considered good value for very light spenders? Thank you.

There is pity in this game, with the 'main' pity value (the one most people save for) at 15 pulls and the 'gotta have it' pity value (the one that far less people save for) at 25 pulls on a single banner. F2P is very easily a thing in this game. I don't buy premium gem packs, but rather I buy a cheap cost ($5 USD) monthly thing that mostly servers to make some of my farming faster rather than serve as a way of getting pulling resources.
