i want to say that there is one JP mobage game i played that you do need same character to limit break. it is tales of link (i played global version). the difference is you dont need to evolve it all the way to 5* like in VF since the gacha is rarity based. and also there's few event that give a character that can be used to limit break gacha character. I'm still fine with the way of limit breaking, but pretty much i hope they could really make it easier so that we dont need to evolve said same character to max level (job key is limited, if only its unlimited then by all mean i will support same rarity/same class limit break)
from my POV, VF is more like korean/chinese type of grindy mobile games. Max level > evolve rarity > max level > evolve > limit break > move to other character.
The only grindy mobage from JP is Granblue, all others mobage from JP is fall from comparison of it. You need real time investment (magna farming, HL farming, coop farming, event farming (recent event gave really good weapon)). and in this game, weapon > character. Even thought most people will use SSR rarity character, but with godly pool of weapon you can beat high difficulty with only R character (there's even some mission reward for using R rarity). Yes, you cant be strong with only gacha in gbf here, you need time and dedication to farm weapon. And pls, dont give the scandal in the new year regarding anchira/andira, cygames already apologize in around march for everyone pulling in new year by giving 100% refund/rebates, then followed by legend fest, and followed by implementation of 300 pull for guaranteed pick up chara (yes whale will surely get what they want by doing only 300 pull)
Faith system, i recall this is quite similar to how typing in Brave Frontier or any other similar games both in Jp/chinese/korean market, tho i dont play BF so i dont know much if you can reroll for it. The reroll for faith here is pretty much really difficult to do since you need Maxed rarity of the sacrificed character for it so that you can use it as sacrificial
Equipment, i agree with this. but VF is more similar to korean/chinese like i said which has equip set so i cant really talk much here since i dont really play that many korean/chinese type for comparison. So yes i think the real difference for people that spend with not spending are the repertoire of equipment set.
In conclusion, this game is as pay heavy as chinese game (equipment set), mindlessly need grinding like korean for max rarity, and offers JP artwork like JP mobage (kudos to alchemaniac). If they arent planning on releasing this on JP market that have laws regarding customer for mobile game, then they wont fix some of the problems you stated
