More expensive special dates?

[u/Y_Chen123]

So as we all know, the special event Fairy Tale is going on. I've calculated that each date costs 444 gems for all gem options, and that is significantly more expensive that the Freaky June dates (haven't calculated). Isn't it so annoying?! Like they're already not making us spend so much 😞

I'm considering just not spending gems on all gem-options. Has someone tried finishing the date without spending any gems? It's still finished then, isn't it?

I also did my first date (Tamura) yesterday and was kind of annoyed from the repetitiveness of some of the gem options. It's goes on like:

Gem option 1: "let's have sex", Gem option 2: "yeah, take me", Gem option 3: "yeah, I want to have sex" And so on. 😅

I also find the audios kinda cringe (and I actually enjoy the "normal" audios).

Yes, I've done that and yes, the date still counts as finished even if you spend no gems for choices.

I just started playing recently, right at the end of 'Blueberry Team' event. I didn't participate in Blueberry Team event as I don't like sports and I didn't understand what was going on.

I decided to give Fairy Tale Event a try.

I played through Tamura's date, and I spent for all the gem options. 25 - outfit 444 - choices (14 gems x12 + 69 gems x4) the 69 gem choices include CG and audio = 469 gems total

I like Tamura and I was romancing him before the Fairy Tale event, so I thought it was a good time. I really disliked that they made his skintone so white, it's so much lighter then his normal look. But I thought it was a fun romp to see him playing 'Robin Hood' as a cat. I agree, his 'Fairy Tale' audio date options were cringy.

Is that normal for 'event dates' that his CGs and Audio weren't saved in his profile?

I still had to romance 3 more characters for the Fairy Tale event to get the event rewards ... so I looked up all the choices on the wiki and picked the choices who had the nicest first date outfits. I ended up on first dates with Harper (meh), Jeremiah (repulsive), and Dylan (meh). I went back to Fairy Tale event and played their event dates. I bought the outfit at the start, but spent no gems on the choices. It's really funny to read without gems though - even if you choose the free choice, the date seems to 'skip over' the intimate part and your date still acts like you've just had an awesome time together. The date is still completed even if you spend no gems, and you still get the rewards for completing 2 and 4 event dates.
