(here’s how my profile looked on the last day of gameplay~ )

hi, hello. i don’t regularly post here but i felt like sharing some memories from my experience playing sif since the game meant a lot to me as it probably did for many other people here.

i first started playing sif in september of 2017, i would’ve downloaded the game sooner but i wanted to wait until i got my new phone (new at the time anyway lol). and pretty much immediately, i was hooked. i hadn’t played any rhythm games prior to sif so it felt like a whole new thing to me but i just had so much fun with it even if i didn’t completely know what i was doing at first.

i definitely wasn’t the best at saving gems starting out but doing solo pulls did manage to get me my very first UR, which was pajama maki. she was my muse best girl so getting a UR of my favorite was one of the most exciting things ever. i probably would’ve screamed if i wasn’t playing in the middle of class. speaking of playing in class, i did play in class quite a lot when i was a newer player. not the best decision in retrospect but i was having fun so it’s fine.

part of the reason why sif was so special to me was that it helped me get through a pretty hard time in my life. without getting into too many details, a lot of personal stuff happened and sif felt like the only thing that didn’t seem to change as everything around me did so i found a lot of comfort through playing it.

i’m sure this isn’t a surprise if you’ve looked at my profile but my best girl in all of love live is kanan and she was definitely the character i was most dedicated to collecting cards of in sif. it took me almost a year of playing to finally get a UR of her in the game, and funnily enough, i got my first kanan UR through a solo. i was so excited that i was screaming and shaking and my brother thought that something was wrong. throughout all my time playing, i managed to get every single permanent card of hers and a pretty decent amount of her limited cards which is pretty good for someone who was mostly free to play. i would’ve tried to get all of her limited cards too but they released too frequently that it wasn’t worth trying to get them in my opinion. regardless, i’m still very proud of my collection. aside from collecting kanan cards, i think my collection had a overwhelming majority of aqours cards since i’m a bit biased. i had so many completed aqours sets and even had every single aqours UR pair (thanks to them all being available in the sticker shop before shutdown).

another huge memory i have related to sif was the time when i temporarily lost my account. my phone got reset by accident and i lost over a year’s worth of pictures (including my game screenshots) and my account. i wasn’t aware of transfer codes so i didn’t have one set up and as a result, i almost lost my account. obviously, i was pretty upset so i started emailing support to see if i could try and recover my account even without it having any purchases on it. i think i spent around a week emailing back and forth, and thankfully, i managed to recover my account. i don’t know what i would’ve done if i had to restart the game so i’m still grateful that i was able to save my account in the end.

this is already getting a bit too long and i don’t think it’s worth my time going through every single memory i have of playing so i might wrap it up here. i admit that i didn’t play sif as often compared to before within the past couple years and that i think the game went way downhill during that time, but that doesn’t change the fact that the game was important to me and that i still managed to find ways to enjoy it. i will miss sif but i’m also looking forward to sif2 and whatever comes next. i guess all i can say now is thank you for all the memories sif, both the good ones and bad ones. 💖
