I did buy some materials/currency with crystals once or twice. I figured that by investing to level ST Luke a little higher early on, this might snowball to let me get more resources later. (Because that's kind of how the rest of the game works!)
I guess I feel penalized now for spending a little but not too much. Wild that they set it up this way. Never again, I guess.
It's useful to win more R10 coins the first days, but sooner or later you will find a wall if you don't pay again.
Crazy design. I guess the takeaway is that unless you plan on spending hundreds every couple weeks, you're better off not spending at all.
I'm sure CG made a lot of money when ST Luke dropped. I'm also pretty sure they're not going to see much spending on subsequent characters now that players know how pointless it is.
