The $155 Victory:

Through good luck and free rolls, I acquired two of the remaining 3 SS Memoria in Heaven Burns Red I didn't yet own (magician Isuzu and street clothes Yingxia).  Taking this as a sign from God, I resolved to get the last missing SS Memoria at any price, and be able to declare victory over the game.

I've beaten all the anachronies with 3 stars, I've beaten the main scenario last boss, I've beaten all the events and secret bosses, I've beaten everything in the game -- except this one missing SS Memoria I hadn't collected yet.  For one brief shining moment, before they release new SS Memoria, I can declare total and complete victory over the game.

So I started spending, and rolling, then spending, and rolling, then spending, and rolling.  $155 later I got imp Yayoi and won the game.  But that wasn't all my $155 got me.  It got me 5 protean shards, imp Yayoi limit break level 1, sheep Yotsuha limit break level 1, hot springs Isuzu level 2, shrine maiden Risa level 2, tuxedo Karen level 2, celestial Seika level 3, reindeer Bon Ivar level 2, schoolgirl Hisame level 2, swimsuit Mari level 3.5, and two eternal daphnes, which I promptly used on cute Karen and wedding dress Ichiko.  That gets me to 28 talent unlocked SS Memoria in all.  I have 27 max limit break level 4 SS Memoria, a lot of whom overlap with those 28.

That's a healthy clip of $13 per SS Memoria.  I also have 11,000 leftover paid quartz, so it's actually cheaper than that.  I'll use the paid quartz in the coming months to try to extend my 'own all SS Memoria in the game' victory for as long as possible.  I never actually intended to own all the SS Memoria in the game, but when I kept getting closer and closer to the goal, when such great fortune fell into my lap, it would feel remiss to not at least once shoot the moon.  I'm so happy I completed one last trophy to put on my trophy case.  The greatest game ever, my most beloved game ever, the most expensive game ever, and the game I succeeded at most.

I also completed the duello minigame.
