I played the Dynasty Warriors 9 trial version, where there are 3 trial tickets that you can spend to play some the story mode as some characters. I spent them on Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, but none of these appear together in the beginning of the game. This was a problem because my brother wanted to try out the local multiplayer, so I would have to spend a ticket on Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun or Sun Jian, because these were Cao Cao's allies in the first battle.
However, even though I deleted both the game and my save data multiple times, the trial tickets were already spent and the same characters were unlocked. Cao Cao's level was also kept the same (I only played as him), so I had to manually reset it in-game. It also doesn't help that the game takes many hours to download, so I had to keep my PS4 in sleep mode at night to try again the next day. I have no idea how or why such a tiny piece of data never changes when the rest of the game does, but it annoys me because I want to play a concise and connected story, instead of random segments just because their characters look cool.
TL;DR: Not only the tickets don't replenish in-game, they also aren't reset when I delete the game and all of its data.
