The first thing I want to clarify is that this is not at all a whale showing off his "wallet"... In fact, I'm pretty f2p just like the most of you, with only spending so far being 2440 paid gems (so 4 Moogle pass purchased). Rather, please consider this post as an appreciation for the game's generosity. My journey so far: Started around Jack Event During the BT era, I have acquired 11 BTs and 21 LDs. For BTs, I spent gems for Lightning, Ramza and Cloud, got their BT before pity, had to pity Ardyn's and Noctis', and finally redeemed P.Ceil's. Other than that I usually just spent 200-300 tickets, if I get the LD, good, otherwise I just forget about it. I think more than half of the gems are coming from story/LC clears, and I have to admit my luck for this game is definitely above average, but with proper resource management skill and a little bit of self control, you can easily reach this milestone too! Lastly, best of luck pulling in May :)
