Note: This is posted in English. Sometime I'll actually arrange these in order of when they're posted so it's actually obvious that _TheFrogPrince is younger and doesn't have full command of his English yet. By time of story, he's got pretty good (conversational, at least) grasp of English and Japanese due to playing.

I have no idea if this is legit or not. There’s this new thing in the Store called ‘gift’. You can literally buy anything in the game and then hit this button. There’s also an option to pay with something I’ve never heard of that I have none of. I assume it’s legit since it’s in the store, but what does it doooooo?

Heimdall:

I saw that too. I assume we’ll have someone posting about that shortly

_TheFrogPrince:

Sry, not 100% english. saw it 2. good?

Wash:

That was a strange mix of texting and English and not-English. ???

`Dev Angel:

Whoopsies! That wasn’t supposed to go Live yet. I’ll have to have a chat with our lovely Japanese team.

Yes, it’s legit. No, we didn’t want to release it until we actually had made an official announcement.

It’s meant to be part of the Your Dark Mirror Rumor Update package. The button actually allows you to gift it to someone else. You can designate a recipient if you don’t want to trade in-game. You can delay your gift, either by anywhere from a few days to a few months (holiday gift) or by update. If you want to brighten some stranger’s day, you can just throw your gift out there into cyberspace.

The new currency introduced in the update (which you have none of) is Spirit Coins. They’ll be given out in the new Holiday Rumors we’re introducing (around the right times for the associated holidays, of course). So, with those, you can ‘buy’ things from the store for yourself or others. They won’t be things that you can’t otherwise get in the game (as usual) but there’s another option if you can’t get them otherwise.

The one thing that you can gift that you can’t otherwise get in game is…a subscription. You can just donate anywhere from a few cents to an entire year’s or lifetime subscription. There’s a list of people who’ve provided contact information who’d love to play, but can’t. One of these will be selected at random for every one subscription worth. (These people are also in line for some of the giveaways, but not all can win a subscription, and all players are eligible for the year-to-lifetime subscription upgrade.)

_TheFrogPrince:

I’m working on in school, thx. >:(

Heimdall:

If you want help, I’m free to adventure (and I work odd hours, so I’m actually available at times most people in my country aren’t).

_TheFrogPrince:

thx :)

Seimei:

It’s interesting looking back on this after years and years. The gift system is actually how I got a lot of friends. Nostalgia!
