Team construction is the game
Raid becomes interesting when raw rarity stops deciding every choice. Speed order, affinity, cooldowns and reliable debuffs often matter more than a champion's headline power.
There is always another target
Campaign farming feeds dungeons, dungeons feed better builds, and those builds open harder bosses and competitive modes. That loop provides years of goals but also makes the daily routine feel like work.
Play with a budget in mind
The core RPG can be satisfying without constant spending, provided resources stay focused on a small group. Players who chase every summon event will encounter a much harsher and more expensive game.
