I agree with this assessment. The "F2P" combined with "high budget" should already be sending off red flags.
I think the people who are most excited about this are cute CN gacha babies who's never experienced the Korean grindfest model of monetisation that was popular around 10 years ago.
You will not be doing <10 minutes dailies to get the latest character as a F2P. Instead you'll be stuck in the most tedious grind netting you the equivalent of ~$0.20 worth of in-game currency per hour that anybody with a paying job and common sense would just pay up rather than waste time.
