The first SG scratch set Fallen Heroes ends on Tuesday night (PST) this week!

Remember to use your Fallen H Ticket items before this time if you have any, or they'll go to waste!

And if you've scratched 20+ times in a set of 40, consider scratching the rest of the way to get a choice ticket!

Maybe if acquiring SG didn't suck so !@#$ing much.

There's definitely a few things I still want, but I just don't have much SG to use (Especially when Fresh Finds has items for only one or two days -_-) and I can't justify the prices to buy any

I really wish Star Gems just weren't a thing.

Nope I’m done, didn’t get the last thing I wanted but man eighty tickets is enough, most of that was Gemini junk that I hate, boo. I got enough tickets to get the Matoi poses and Xion Long Hair at least, had to spend my Choice tickets to get the Matoi 2 & 3 poses.

I was trying to get the Requiem weapon but I’d have to use 39 more tickets so oh well.

I still really want that naked outfit of ice but, sg is too pricey, id rather spend on ac to be fair.

Already scratched over 240 times.

Yeah, Fresh Finds and the condensed SG scratches (3 years' worth over 10 months) has really stretched our SG thin hasn't it? It just hasn't been balanced for Global.

After 80 scratches of Mother's Disciples I'm 1 for 6 on the items I wanted (the odds of getting less than 2 after 80 scratches worked out to less than 1% by the way ) and even if I give up on the least important of those I'll still need one more to be done with that in conjunction with 3 choice tickets. I have enough for 70 scratches as things stand, so I'm tempted to see if I fluke out on one of them with a handful of scratches (heck knows I'm owed some SG luck - on average it should take 17 scratches and that'd be good enough) which would free up the potentially 40 scratches I'd need for the one thing I want from Fallen Heroes.

The trouble is if that doesn't work out I'd be completely screwed for Astral Guardians since I want four things from that too and no way am I getting the up to 12,800 SG needed for that in four months. And then there's anything that comes into Fresh Finds in its horrid 24-hour flash sale model...

Yeeeeeep. And it doesn't even count SG items I would've really liked and couldn't afford or had to pass incase of something I want more or items I completely missed out on (Logging in each day isn't always possible for me) ... And I can't even manage to get enough of the ridiculous amounts to trade in for the SG Scratch Swap items either. It sucks.

I did 19 Scratches for Fallen Heroes so nearly halfway to the redeem ticket, but with 4 items I definitely want and one maybe, it still wouldn't help much if I have no luck which is what I usually do. I did multiple pulls and literally got the Scenery Pass 3 times in a row at one point. It sucks.

Mother's Disciples I did the most where I did exactly 40. Since there was the one campaign you got a ticket from and I managed to pull enough for one, I managed to get the two things I wanted most. There's still four items I want, but I just am run dry funds-wise.

The newest SG scratch too-- I want like... 13 items and that doesn't even include the music tracks I might want because I can't find which each one may be. I've only been able to pull on it 13 times so far.

My husband, meanwhile, hasn't really wanted much of anything so he's sitting here with like 4,000SG and he can't even help me out with some of the stuff I want because it's all bound. It's just a constant lose-lose situation. And especially when you look at the costs and it's like $18 or something to be able to afford an outfit from the Fresh Finds shop... Even if I was in a better money situation, I'd have a really hard time justifying that.

I've never been good at saving up in general with games so it's not like I'd be in a great position to afford things even if they weren't bound, but at least I could slowly save up for them in a way that felt less out of reach

As for Fresh Finds, I just keep praying I don't want any item packs because I can barely afford the separate items, let alone those... So I just hope none of the color variants I want end up in one. I only have 577SG right now so it's like... pull on a SG Scratch or keep it on hold incase of Fresh Finds and it's a terrible feeling. I'm doing what I can to earn more (and as a note, that amount is AFTER the 150SG earned from the UQ campaign), but it's not going super well.

It doesn't help how random things are releasing or how not even all colors are kept together so I don't even know when to expect certain things to even properly prepare for it.

But yes, good luck T~T I really wish something would be done because as much as I get they want to catch us up, this isn't fair at all with the current set-up and it's just not possible unless you can afford spending tons of money. And I have spent money on PSO2 for AC both in the original Japanese release and this, but I can't keep up with this schedule at all.

I think this pretty much sums up SG on Global, yeah. The SG-heaviness of Fresh Finds has really made it feel limiting and unsatisfying as a currency in a way that JP have never had to deal with. What's funny is it's listed as being partially AC-based the game and is in the AC section of the manual so I wonder if making it so SG-heavy in the first place was a mistake.

Anyway, that's just complaint and speculation. The core of this topic is to try to make sure a player doesn't sit on choice tickets until it's too late and they find themselves with a seriously expensive expired item.

@Miraglyth Considering the amount of times they "accidentally" had something able to be sold and had to lock it down while they properly made it bound, it wouldn't surprise me

I'd be less frustrated if they just let people trade/sell them as there's no good reason not to.

But yes, thank you as always for the heads up

I am hoping this also means new SG scratch soon, for some particular things I've been waiting for.

Finally. Hoping the next SG scratch we get is full of EP6 villian stuff so I can dump my SG there.

People seem to want the next SG scratch but I don't cause I know what's coming and I need more time to prepare given that there are barely any ways to get any meaningful amount of SG ingame especially now that we won't get SG from story completion anymore. I couldn't even finish one character set (7 outfit pieces) from the current SG scratch and the next one takes almost twice as many items to complete (again: for one outfit set).

Personally I don't want to see any more new SG stuff until they fix the supply issue. The amounts we currently get are almost spitefully low, to put things into perspective even if they were to add 10 SG per TA clear one would still have to farm the Harukotan TA for ~7 hours nonstop just for one exchange ticket and the sources we currently have give us like 30-100 SG on a weekly cap...

The only reason I got to buy as many tickets as I did was I did one-time stuff like story and titles. I even completed the Lookbook titles for that SG, now those options aren’t available to me anymore. It’s a bummer because I still need Mother tickets before that goes away, too. I haven’t even looked at the newest, Astral you can wait buddy, I have to plan this out based on how much time I have left.

@Ryoga

I mean, you can easily by a drip fed amount from the casino. Just only buy the 1 bundle one as the other one is definitely not worth it. Then you always have the ability to buy OU's that have gems to collect. average price on ship 2 is like 3-500k which is basically chump change in this day and age. After you've bled the OU's of the gems you can turn them into recycle badges to either resell on the market or horde until we get the limited store that will let you turn recycle badges into augment safety consumables. Which if those can be sold (I don't know) is more money for you or at the least makes augmenting your gear much less painful.
