It's much less pay to win than most other Gachas

1) There is no PVP.
2) All difficult content is permanently available, so if you can't do something yet, just wait until powercreep catches up to it.
3) Lots of Soul Breaks are available for free years later in the "Anima Shop", or via stamps and other selects during fests (every 3 months)
4) The gacha is actually fairly friendly, especially compared to some other games. Odds to get new relics are decent (1% per roll, 1 relic guaranteed on an 11-draw), plus there's absolutely no point to chasing dupes (there's a very minor benefit, but you can get the upgrade f2p anyway)

I haven't spent anything the past 2 or 3 years, and I'm not completely caught up on all content, but certainly on some of it.

To be fair, if you absolutely need to clear everything Day 1, you'll probably be spending quite a bit, but that's absolutely not necessary.
