I don't think it's really worth it to buy flower gems, unless there's a gacha costing FGs with a girl you REALLY want, but generally, the gachas paid with Nutaku Gold are slightly better value for money than buying FGs to play one. (So I'm specifically excluding hoarding free FGs from the game to occasionally play here)

But the game supplies enough Flower Gems to get by: increase Girl capacity, increasing jewelry storage and even occasionally using FGs for stamina (only worth it if you have a high maximum stamina to start with) or pulling a couple of bronze girls from limited gacha.

The game is more generous with its in-game currency compared to Aigis and the likes. I mean we get compensation, daily logins, max affections, and tons of events. I can't even earn more SC in Aigis than Flower Gems i Flower Knight Girl.

compared to DMM we are very gem starved.

I couldn't really get into DMM cos I can't read JP and it was hindering my enjoyment, but I still log in once in a blue moon to collect all those free gems and roll some gachas.

It's not that FGs are redundant/obsolete, but that the Nutaku gold deals have been too commonplace. Which, really, is the next best thing for us, since we can't expect Nutaku to be as generous with free FGs as DMM is. That does have the side effect of intrinsically devaluing the FGs we do get, but again, it's hard to complain about it otherwise.

Cutting off the whale demand just to balance them out with the F2P'ers in a non-PVP game isn't a sound decision, anyway.
