Dragalia Lost had 'characters', 'dragons' (that you would morph into), and wyrmprints similar to artifacts (Alchemist Code calls it memorabilia, Puella Magika calls it memories, etc). They finally removed wyrmprints but its very easy to get gems in that game. I put down the entire list of characters I have in my spreadsheet now. Let me see if I can get enough exp mats and evolution materials when that time comes to do them all. Anyway, I got other games, I can do.
Epic7Seven it was a nice game, the story... eh. I made account on all 3 servers, the only thing that was a lifesaver was the pick your 10+1 character out of 30 tries. I actually like games that developed that system cause you can actually start well in doing the story instead of beating like 6+ chapters to actually get enough gems to do another damned summon (only to be effing disappointed).
I feel like Destiny child gives you way too much gems but the rate is very low... only want to spend my money on devil's pass with the cute various costumes, but it's been eh lately. Been skipping the DoA collab and the Blazblue collab. Brown Dust seems to be next. I'm just a person who just wants the characters then use those purple thingies to open the voices.
Another game that doesn't give you much gems would be Grand Summoners and Lyn: The Lightbringer (speaking of which need to get some of the stuns in that game). In Lyn, because the 'ultra rare characters -usually in red-' are hard to get, so far I only want two atm... but you can get the yellow (the one below red tier) through these missions. It's one of those games where you can leave to let it play while you sleep -Final Blade- as well.
Overhit, so so... I don't advance in story unless I need that few amount of gems. Releasing a new character seems far and between so it seems I can always have a free pull when that comes around. I did get one of the new characters though. I haven't gotten through easy on story mode. The only gripe I have about this game is the fact that the character drawings don't match with the character models. I feel like the population is dying because we failed to get a free SSR ticket in the event.
Elune, I haven't actually engaged in that game. I seriously just want Wei Wei, but she hasn't been released, I'm rather irritated about that.
Final Blade, this game you really need just let your phone do all the work, farm farm farm farm, you can spend $10/month (one for selling equipment and characters to collecting gems), but I'm starting to get disappointed with the pulls as of late. Will probably drop in the future and the super awakened characters don't look so great imho. For $5 a month -need that fox collector-, you can get like 5-8k gems a day. Summoning is like 4k (then 10% consecutive), but you really need the gems to evolve which eats up your gems or spend the gems on stamina.
SAO: Memory Defrag, literally just praying that the character they bring out isn't another effing copy of Asuna, Silicia, Sinon, Lisbeth, Yuuki, Alice, etc. I like original characters -_- I got the Cardinal and this other character given to you for free but it has no voice.
Another Eden, story's pretty good (same story developer of Chrono Trigger), but crap, leveling is slow, collecting items is slow, gems can be plentiful at times...
Chain Strike, gems can be good since there is a tower you can climb, can reset and it can give you a good amount of gems to summon. And events to help you a bit to get items. This is the game with the 8-way stun, but getting a closer view is impossible. Will have a video out soon.
Blustone, stuns are short-lived here (usually when you exit the battle) and another takes over but they recover... I love the art though.
Dropped:
- Dawn of the Breakers, last collab didn't get me much. Had to get gems in this game. Can always reinstall if I'm lazy, story meh...
- Shin Na Zuki, going to drop after I do the Action Figure of the characters I'm missing... update hasn't been for a while now
- Star Ocean: Anemnesis, going to record some voices (JPN most probably) I'm mad I didn't get Fina from the FF collab. Game is closing in November 5th.
- Valkyrie A-whatever, going to record some voices, your einherjar disappears if you loses leaving your valkyries to kneel in disappointment.

But some games aren't meant to be. Give me a bad hand, I won't play the game.
