The First Descendant\u2019s microtransactions have sparked mixed reactions. Some players are grumbling over the steep prices, especially in a free-to-play title that some feel offers more cash options than gameplay. Asmongold, however, argues that the upfront pricing model stops players from falling into gambling-like spending traps. In his latest Asmongold Reacts, the popular streamer dives into ParallaxStella\u2019s analysis of The First Descendant\u2019s microtransactions, sharing his blunt opinion. Asmongold compares the game to traditional gacha mechanics, saying TFD\u2019s microtransactions feel better to buy. \u201cThere is never a point where you spend money and you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting,\u201d Asmongold asserts, clearly referencing the gacha systems found in games like Zenless Zone Zero, a game the Twitch streamer has already expressed a dislike for. Asmongold even defends The First Descendant\u2019s Kuiper Shards boost microtransaction, arguing that even though paying for them essentially \u201cfunctions as a subscription to the game,\u201d it\u2019s not needed to progress. On a The First Descendant Reddit thread, users agreed with Asmongold, with one of the top comments stating, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to spend a cent to enjoy everything.\u201d Another user chimed in to say that allowing purchases for characters is fair, especially for those who don\u2019t want to grind for hours.
