Taxes are increasing in Japan from 8% to 10% on October 1, affecting real life and our IAP (In-app purchase) life! (It’s actually not a drastic change)

Magic Stone sale suspension

Duration: 9/30 (Mon) 11:30 ~ 10/1 (Tue) 12am JST

For 30 minutes only, no Magic Stones will be sold to prepare for the price changes.

Magic Stone price changes

All changes live starting 10/1 (Tue). As a bonus, I’ve listed price per Magic Stone as well on the final column. The worst part of the changes is for those who buy iTunes cards, especially for 85 Magic Stones…

This applies to all stores (App store, Google Play, amazon appstore).

Note that PAD Radar also has this same price increase for Gold (equivalent to Magic Stone).

  2. Wow interesting. But im assuming that’s the IOS andriod price. if you want im sure you can still buy amazon coins for the same price im assuming. They seem to have there own price fluctuation though from time to time. Oh yea btw i found out they totally took out lesser GFE out of the SGF and stuff. So I guess there is a point to you continuing with the not too many people care REMS but there may actually be some people that do. 🙁 🙁 lol
