    Since I didn't want to sidetrack the thread for this kind of discussion, I believe it makes more sense to send a VM

    Quote:
    I've heard that the Azur Lane game trumped Kancolle because AL has a more generous gacha. As such, you can actually collect all of the ship-girls as a F2P player in AL whereas in Kancolle, you have to shell out major еее.
    That's incorrect because both games don't have the same business model.
    First and foremost, Kancolle isn't a gacha game per se. While you can get some ships through the construction section, 1) you aren't limited by a currency solely used for this 2) there is no "gacha banner" at all 3) new ships are introduced during events, are not "temporarily in the construction" and always come back during next events.
    As such, there is no incentive to pay money to get the ships. On the flip side, the game doesn't offer any kind of free currency, so while it is technically possible to complete your ship encyclopedia, it is impossible to have all of them at once unless you buy ship yard slots. But considering the pacing and the release, I believe you arguably spend way less money on KC than any usual mobage, moreso it is closer to browser game. As a matter of fact, I've been playing KC for more than 6 years, and I've spent a little less than $300, without any "spikes". So that's a little less than $50 per year. If you were to focus solely on collection, your expense would amount to approximately $120 for ships that spanned over 6 years.
    As for the other paid content, it is worth noting that KC has barely any paid content whatsoever aside of resources (which are not exactly popular anyway). The one thing that is usually purchased are wedding rings, but as usual, it isn't really giving any edge in term of gameplay. On the flipside, every single seasonal CG is free albeit temporary. You will never see that kind of stuff to purchase unlike AL. So in a nutshell, the amount of money is clearly not the issue when it comes to KC. If anything, most veterans would tell you that you don't really have anything to buy on KC proper.

    From my perspective, AL is more popular in the west because 1) it is in English (something that was the first complaint for KC) 2) more attractive girls 3) more foreigner ships 4) mobage (easier access) 5) shooting gameplay.
    I don't really think it is really a good idea to even compare both games outside of their moe category because they aren't aimed at the same audience when you consider their respective "narrative" and business model.
