At no point did I say this game is "pay 2 win"; in fact I said the opposite. I only mentioned it to illustrate that while the gacha is a money-making mechanic for the devs, the ability to use it (in the form of FGs) doesn't leave F2P players in the cold (thereby denying any "pay 2 win" claims).

If the only way you could ever get 5-6 star girls was by spending Nutaku gold, then the argument would be very different. That isn't the case here.
