With the patch notes, there was this:"Regarding "Phirius Tokens Shop" announcement , please ensure that you have bought all necessary items for the time being."
Does that mean spend all your phirius coins because it'll be a while before you get to use them for anything other than mini games?
As I understand it yes.
Reading through the announcement, we see the Old Shop is removed tomorrow and the New Shop implemented. But, the New Shop has no facility to spend Phirius Tokens.
When the next patch arrives, 'Phirius Merchants' will arrive ingame and we'll be able to spend our Tokens again.
So, yes - for a few weeks, we will only need our Tokens to enter mini-games.
