You don't need the other characters, true. You're just missing out on a significant portion of the varying gameplay styles and characters if you decide not to engage in gambling which, again, the game heavily incentivizes and leads you towards participating in. These aren't just skins or cosmetics. Even if you're going to give Genshin Impact a free pass on this (which you should not), why would you expect game critics to, when they're one of the groups of people that care the most about companies releasing complete games?

To me its basically the same as dlc characters and season passes. Only difference is the random factor which does suck, but its all basically equally predatory and scummy to me. If you truly want to play everyone in Smash for example the extra you have to pay is nearly the same price as the game itself. People were allowed to buy the full Fighter Passes before most of the characters in them were even revealed too so they were basically just playing RNG with their money if you ask me. Not too much different than paying and hoping you get a random character. There are other games where the extra campaigns are just as much or more expensive than the game itself too and if you like them of course the temptation to spend is there. Genshin is just as complete a game without spending as some others that get a free pass is all Im trying to say I guess?
