    It isn’t locked behind a paywall, it costs 500 RC which you can get by literally not playing the game and having your pawn get hired by somebody. You get a fuckton of it just by playing. I’m mad because of how not only is the mtx clearly done by higher ups rather than the devs but they’re utterly useless and only give people false impressions about the game, which was a passion project by the director.

      having your pawn get hired by somebody

      Can your pawn get hired if you play this single player game offline? You don’t think that maybe the fact that they were going to sell rift crystals for real life money had any impact on how they balanced in game prices?

        It’s the easiest way to get it but you can collect a lot of it simply through playing the game as well, you earn rift crystals after every fight and it starts to really pile up as you level considering the only thing it’s spent on is remaking your character and hiring pawns (in the first game at least, there may be more uses in the second)

      I wish more people understood this. Everything they are complaining about can literally be bought in game with Rift Crystals. I’m already at 2000 RC just by playing the game and my pawn has only been hired once.
