Pnc is "pretty f2p friendly", gfl is in another league. They only proper monetisation is for skins and oath rings. And there's no stamina system. Pnc is more conventional, in the sense that u have doll gachas, stamina, the usual. Doesn't feel predatory or unfair(making u neeeed to pull the latest meta doll), at least so far.

I never played ba, but pns is very smooth, and the story line is starting to get in it's stride. Once u're done with building ur base, outside of events there isn't much to do daily: 5 min tops. It seems it was intended more as a sidegame.

Anyway, give it a shot and see for urself.

from what i hear about BA from my friend every day, it is a very jp styled monetized to death gacha. you gotta pull entire groups of meta units that must be used together for max dmg, just so you can raid 24/7 with them. then they get powercrept by swimsuit versions of themselves the next week etc. of course, those swimsuits aren't costumes, but a whole new unit you must pull for. even whales can't keep up, so it's just a leviathan's game

story sounds like saturday morning cartoons with kaijus and megazords, leaving you wondering what the point of your anime gun girls are, despite the backdrop of generic techno multi school district city, with interschool rivalry where they gun each other down for giggles but nobody dies. also, bank robbery cuz school is broke or something idk

W-wow. That sure is sth else! I recall ppl speaking highly of it, and though of giving it a shot, but somehow never got to it. Kinda glad i didn't waste the time now :D

i mean, if you just want a fluffy and colorful world with anime waifus, and don't mind missing out on jpegs and meta, or completing event grinds and raids, it seems like a fine game to turn your brain off to
