I took a long break from FEH not too long after the Skill Inheritance update. Partly because of the dearth of content, and partly because I didn't really like the way it was shaking up the meta. They sucked me back in a couple of weeks ago with that free five star brave hero promotion (I also chose that horseback archer Lyn, of course) and I've been pretty happy with all there is to do now. On top of all the story and paralogue chapters I've had to catch up on, there's also the Grand Hero Battles, the Voting Gauntlets that get the community all hyped up, they just had a mini Tempest Trial with Masked Marth as a reward, and are about to run another full Tempest Trial with The Black Knight. I've felt spoiled with things to do.
I do also like the quality of life upgrades they keep introducing. In the mini Tempest Trial just now, the Continuous Auto option was a godsend. Then they recently added the ability to look up inheritable skills from within the game so I don't have to keep popping out to the wiki. All I can personally think to add at this point would be an option to have the map music continue uninterrupted by Player/Enemy Phase.
The one thing I truly hate about this game is the IV system. On top of gambling your orbs for heroes, you also have to hope that when you finally do pull who you were hoping for, that they aren't assigned a poor stat line. When the alternative is getting screwed over by the growth rate system of the main series, I guess this is better, but it still feels kinda shitty to pull a 5* Linde, look up her IVs online, and find out she's -SPD. Of course, even a stat deficit is only -3 from neutral, it doesn't truly matter unless you're going for optimal play or something, but for something that people can pay real money for, throwing a second random chance on top of the gacha that's already there is something that really doesn't sit well with me.
These guys are unusually generous for a gacha game. They're giving away powerful heroes for free, they throw orbs and valuable upgrade resources (feathers) at you left and right, but if they could somehow introduce some kind of IV rerolling system or even just an option to at least set the hero to their neutral stat line, I would feel much better about it.
