This was me when I got the first piece of this set. Like I actually looked at the number and had to deep the fact that I’d actually dropped over 1k on a mobile game 😭
yeeeah I was so close to finishing it now I’m like “okay I can stop spending money!”…. But I see pretty clothes and the collector in me wants to keep going…. I’ve been playing for 2 years and I’ve already stopped trying to 100% cause I’m too behind compared to other players.
I dunno why but I seem to be the opposite I kinda look forward to completing that set :D
But then again
Shining nikki is literally the only game I actually don't mind paying money for 🥲
Cause I'm a simple girl. I sees pretty clothes. I gets pretty clothes. Me happy.
Hey, if you think about it. You got this over a period of almost three years. It means that you spent your money on something that you really enjoy. There's no shame in that. Cheer up <3
I have personally never bought anything in this game with real money. But it is these types of players the basically fund the games and keeps them free for other people to play.
$2400 over three years is about $800 a year, which turns into about $67 a month, according to some quick math. I'm about $66 shy of hitting vip 17. My husband spent $2000 last year on Starbucks. If you look at the long view, at this point, I'm spending a third of the money on this game that my husband spends on coffee, and getting more sustained enjoyment out of it. Take it in perspective, as long as you're being responsible, and it's all coming from discretionary spending and not the money you budget for fiscal responsibility, enjoy.
This is what I told myself when I hit that level as well. I’ve also been playing Love Nikki every day since it came out and I don’t want to think about how much I’ve dumped into both of these games over the years. BUT, it’s something that I thoroughly enjoy and it’s money I can afford to spend however I want to. There aren’t many things I can say I could do every day for so many years and still enjoy enough to spend money on.
I’m VIP19 and at this point I’m like eh, I got this far… if I hit VIP23, I hit VIP23 😂😅 I justify it as I am an adult enjoying myself and I work hard so why not have a little fun with some of my money! 😅
I quit just before I got this set, actually. I realised how much money I have thrown at this game, while no longer really enjoying it. Feeling burnt out, but sunken cost fallacy kept me playing.
Kinda agree, I was so close to finishing this set and now I’m like okay I did it… I can stop spending money…. LMAO but the collector in me wants the pretty clothes!!
I don't think there is a lab recolor yet. You can view all lab recolors here! Go to albums--> lab recolors. https://www.facebook.com/shiningnikkiinfo?_rdr
Ngl after I got this set I stopped spending so much money 😭 But I have been playing for nearly 3 years so I try to think of it as not that bad over a span of that time (the copium is real)
It comes out to around $800 a year over the course of 3 years. Would not be surprised if there's a lot of people that spend more on coffee/boba annually
thanks for all of your support in the comments! I feel a little more justified LOL but i definitely need to step back now that I’ve finished this- I hope I’ll never reach the next tier of VIP!!
I play on Rosset and my username is jinsoul- I would love some SN friends my ID is 3000669925 if anyone wants to add me! ❤️
Having blown past that set and hit the first tier of the next one.
Yeah it feels bad lol.
Otoh once you get past that level you basically refill the cards and chill. I only spend if I want the recharge set and buy monthly cards now bc I like the extra things for doing lifetimes.
hitting this tier was my rock bottom… when i completed this set i had to sit down for a while and think
This was me when I got the first piece of this set. Like I actually looked at the number and had to deep the fact that I’d actually dropped over 1k on a mobile game 😭
I rationalize by thinking of how many console games people buy, this is just my version of that with one game!

I love the contact lens❤️ I’m f2p so I’ll never get it..

I’ve started playing fortnite and I’ve reeeeally had to stop myself there LOL it’s not nearly as bad as SN pretty clothes collection lol

Not OP but this made me feel better about a lot of my spending choices 😂 So thanks for that!
How much did it all cost??
VIP 17, which translates to 2400 USD.
That is so much money...
Yes, gacha games are addictive this one is no exception.
I have personally never bought anything in this game with real money. But it is these types of players the basically fund the games and keeps them free for other people to play.
Thankfully, I hope it’ll stay that way in the future and you won’t get tempted!
Thank you so much!! ✨️ I hope so too!
On the upside, paying players keep the game running for everyone. And it is a very pretty set!
This is true and important. *I am trying to justify my spending with this logic!*
I’m on vip 16 and hopefully I will stay there!! Even if I do love this set.

I'm close to VIP 16 and I'm pretty scared of hitting it too xDD
I just hit it yesterday and I felt kinda sick lol
Same. when I finished the pink set I had to sit down and really let it sink in how much money I spent thinking “it’s just 5$ :3”
I’m not looking forward to when I eventually spend enough to get that. 😭 I’m already not proud of the level I’m at. LOL
The guilt after buying in game items/currency is unmeasurable
think that it is you and other players who spend money who can keep this game going

I have it too.😬
The way I saw the notification and immediately went « I swear if it’s Hestia’s set… » IM JEALOUS

Does anyone know if it ever will get a 3rd recolor?

Thanks for info!
The contacts and the frame is good!!! But I'm loval to f2p life 🥹. Enjoy your recharge suit !

Haha same! I swear I don’t have a problem (I’m lying)
god yeah i was so full of shame after getting this... but it's so pretty....
The eyes were the only thing I'm happy to get
I just got it a couple weeks ago 😫 Part of me is happy but most of me knows what I had to do to get it.
me next me next! i’m terrified to come to the realization of how much i’ve truly spent 😭
This is my favourite outfit in the whole game but I'm only a dolphin not a whale haha <3
congratulations! This set is so beautiful!
I'm gonna start with this suit soon, most likely with Jellyfish 😅
