You forgot, this is the style the earlier Honkai Impact 3rd used where they concentrated only with Kiana, Bronya, Mei, with alternative skins for such, then Himeko and Theresa (Apocalypse), then Seele, Sae Miko, Kallen, Rita Rossweith, and Fu Hwa.

Yes that's what reminded me that. Though from what I understand Mihoyo was resource constrained and could only release alternative skins. HI3 started releasing new characters a few years after release, though I don't know the state of the game now.

Whats Gacha?

Basically any game where loot-boxes exists (paid random chance to get something in the game)

Comes from the Japanese word for the sound of these machines which operate the same way.

For example, suppose you only wanted "Agumon" above. There is no option to pay to specifically get "Agumon". Instead you pay to have a chance to get "Agumon", with a high chance you get something you didn't want instead. Even if the chance was a perfectly fair 1/8 every time, there's still the possibility of never getting what you want.

You might be able to tell that this is basically skirting the line of gambling. All "Gacha" games basically operate in that greyzone which is getting smaller and smaller as laws are made to clarify whether or not they have to follow gambling laws to the letter.
