What free to play gives you
ANANTA is announced as free to play. In the original developer interviews, the team describes characters unlocking through story progression with no character gacha, and paid customization as a revenue source. That supports planning to begin the game without buying a character roll. Read TechRadar’s developer interview (opens in a new tab) · Read Game*Spark’s developer interview (opens in a new tab)
The practical starting point is simple. Try the game’s story and movement before setting a spending budget. When the live store opens, inspect the item and acquisition method you actually want.
Match a purchase to your goal
| Your goal | What to use now | What to verify before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Start the story | The announced free-to-play release and official platform links. | The correct game, publisher and regional listing. |
| Get a playable character | The developer’s stated progression-based character access. | The final character’s unlock condition in the release client. |
| Change an outfit | Developer interviews describe paid skins and customization. | The exact item, total price, currency pack sizes and purchase method. |
| Plan a car or home purchase | The producer discusses customization and in-game-currency options. | Which launch items use earned currency and which use paid currency. |
| Estimate a cosmetic collection budget | No reliable complete price list is established by our sources. | Wait for the live catalog and any randomized-item terms before totaling a budget. |
Read the cosmetic offer on its own terms
Famitsu’s producer interview describes paid customization, including skins, while discussing in-game-currency options for other customization. Pocket Tactics asks whether spending has random elements, and the answer uses buying a souvenir as an analogy. That answer alone leaves the exact purchase implementation open.

Before buying, identify whether an offer names a fixed item or a randomized reward. For a fixed item, compare its listed price with the currency you must buy. For a randomized offer, read the disclosed probabilities, guarantees, duplicate rules and expiry. A character-access announcement cannot answer those item-level questions.
A useful launch-day spending order
- Play far enough to understand the character or customization you enjoy.
- Open the exact store item and read its acquisition details.
- Calculate the real currency purchase needed for the offer.
- Decide on a budget before accepting a purchase confirmation.
Current evidence does not establish final cosmetic prices, a complete paid-currency table, or every launch-store rule. Recheck those details in the official client. This page makes no claim of a completed purchase or launch-store test.
