Is this game newb friendly, the game looks awesome but idk how far behind I’ll be at this point

Hey there! The games definitely very fun and beginner friendly at first. Once you hit end game, especially late end game it becomes more challenging. If you take your time and enjoy the game early on it's definitely worth your time especially considering it's f2p. The game does have good guides and things to help you later in end game as well. As far as being behind I would say yes and no. Most players would played at lunch are already 1450+ ilvl, but there's still tons of new players playing as well. I'd say give it a try, I mean it's f2p lol. Gold is relatively inexpensive here on jsp too if you decide you want to invest in the game and level faster.

Appreciate your take I already got the game downloaded waiting to get home and ima give it a go guess I’ll know after first couple days of playing wether I’ll invest in it or not

You can always boost your pj main a bit by having alters, you can have up to a maximum of 5 alters and 1 main for free. Making daily content with each one you get many materials to raise the item level of your main with which you will go further. but it's a lot of work, I advise you to start with 2 or 3 alters at most. On the other hand, it has an equipment upgrade system with which you raise the item level that can be frustrating, since even having the necessary materials you can fail and lose them, and so until you manage to go up, it is not 100% safe, it depends on luck. The game is free so you can always try it if you like it once you pass the story mode and reach level 50 I think I remember I recommend watching guides and videos since it has a lot of content and at first you can get lost
