I have played this game in a completely free-to-play manner WITHOUT rerolling. I would also like to note that, as unbelievable as it may seem in my screenshots, I have NOT purchased any rubies either. I will include notes detailing what might need to be translated and what non-Japanese speakers may have trouble with. I only know the basics of hiragana and katakana, so I can only read out character names but not understand the story as I play it. Let me preface this guide/review that I am NOT fluent in Japanese in any way.

To download and play this game outside of Japan, consult the megathread for help! Hello everyone!
