It is important to note that there is absolutely no co-op/competitive modes or ways to play. It is fully solo. There isn't even a friends list. No PVP, no raids, no group dungeons, no friend supports, no nothing. Just a single-player jRPG with story updates and character stories.
And it has a sword-wielding frog man.
The gameplay in Another Eden is a traditional turn-based battle system. The player team inputs their commands, executes the commands, then the enemy has a turn. The game has standard gacha/RPG mechanics like leveling up, elemental attacks to consider, status effects, team attacks, and so on. Exploration is done through a side scrolling map, similar to games like Valkyrie Profile.
It's also worth noting that unlike other gacha games, this game really is a jRPG with some gacha elements. There aren't your traditional events like in gacha games. There aren't daily missions. There is no energy (outside of specific dungeons you can run limited times). You don't select a stage and play that level. You walk from point A to point B. You accept a quest? You walk to where you need to complete it, just like "real games". Want to grind? Walk back and forth in the field. Go for it. This is a jRPG-ass-jRPG that just happens to be on mobile with a sprinkle of gacha.
Will update with rates and such once it's launched should they be changed, but the rates in JP are:
5* : 3.26%
4* : 17.97%
3* : 78.77%
Note from Reddit on rerolling:
I wouldn't recommend it since it takes 30 minutes to get to the part where you can have a chance to summon a five star but if you do decide to do it and you want meta then your definitely gonna want Mariel the healer. Basically your whole F2P story party should you decide not to roll will be able to five star EXCEPT for the healer so your gonna want Mariel in case you have bad gacha luck.
Edit: (The game's main story is still beatable with the Main healer BUT once post game and future chapters come out your just really gonna want a better healer cause shit, gets, HARD.)
