4K AP $40 on Beautician... stupid

RUBBISH!  

To be honest, as much as I severely agree with you, there's one little problem...

This could be KOEI's fault, natively.

Going back on some research I did a while back (using memory as a reference as I do not have immediate access to either game as I write this)...

EDIT: Okay, going off of legendaryhero90's guide here for using the Japan Webmoney route, it costs 3350 yen to get 3000 Webmoney points (equating to about 1150 Musou Coins if legendaryhero90's guide is still accurate, and those Webmoney points can be bought via PayPal), which costs about $39.86 USD. You can't buy $40 worth of Aeria Points directly, but going $30/$10, you will have a grand total of about 4200 AP (using the Credit Card (PayPal) method).  

Now, the yen equivalent actually dropped $0.03 since then (and due to the bonus cash thing, the total AP value jumps to 4370), but that's not the important thing. Assuming that this information is still mostly up-to-date (can't be bothered to check WebMoney right now and not having immediate access to either server), this is how it's going to look. I can't remember the price for a hair change on JP, but it's either 200 or 300 Musou Coins. For us, a hair change is 1050 AP.

Now 1050/4200 is 25% straight (24.02% if you go by the bonus cash sale at 1050/4370 (24.03% rounded)), whereas it comes down to either 200/1150 (17.39%) or 300/1150 (26.09% when rounded). If the 300 MC rate is correct (which, based on the ratios, I suspect it is), then we've technically got it cheaper than Japan, and the chances that prices on beautician operations will decrease shrinks substantially as a result.

EDIT: Forgot to put the percentile for the bonus cash AP value.

I'm a terrible person. I talked this promotion down but I also am guilty of having used AP for the beautician on the account I made for my gf. I'm even in the makeover contest! Laughing

Sorry to be so harsh guys, but really, that's pretty pricey; just to change the way they look, since look has no effect on gameplay. As you can see, not many people are happy with this promotion. Sad

Sadly, the only was this'd work for me would be if I'd made Aqua ugly in the first place.

Stop with the rubbish deals/offers go back to Koei, get some decent rewards then come back....

stop milking the cash cow.... its udders are empty  


+1

Also do not like the fact they cut down the bonus AP from when buy now as well. I 100% agree they are milking the cow. Been saying this to some I know for awhile.

Koei does not interfere with Aeria's promotion.
