Part 155: Missed Content - Achievements/Trophies

There's a few achievements/trophies in the game that I never really found a good place for, so here they are.

I'll also note here that all the achievement/trophy images I use are the PS3 trophy ones. The 360 version just uses a generic gold trophy icon for all achievements.


Achievement/Trophy:

Too Much Free Time

You get this one for reaching a playtime of 100 hours.


Achievement/Trophy:

To Points Unknown

This is a really dumb one which requires you to travel a total distance of a hundred kilometers on the world map. This takes forever and you won't get even close on a regular playthrough. In the PS3 version they halved the distance, but also added a teleport feature to Ba'ul so you'll still not get it naturally. If someone has this they almost certainly rubber-banded their controller and left the console running for a few hours.


Achievement/Trophy:

Grand Battles

A fairly simple achievement for fighting a total of one thousand encounters.


Achievement/Trophy:

Piggybank

For having ten million Gald at once.


Achievement/Trophy:

No More Grinding

For getting every character to level 200, which is the maximum level. If you have the 10x EXP bonus from the Grade Shop you'll get this naturally while you complete the bonus dungeon(s), otherwise you might need to grind a bit.


Achievement/Trophy:

Back Up Plan

For saving at every save point in the game. This is a rather annoying one since nothing tells you which save points you've already saved at, and some save points disappear or become inaccessible as you progress through the story. You might get lucky and just get it naturally, but if you don't, it's very annoying to track down the missing ones. They made it even worse in the PS3 version by adding a whole bunch of save points in the Necropolis of Nostalgia, which all count towards the achievement, which basically means you can't skip floors. Great.


Achievement/Trophy:

Low Level Challenger

You get this by finishing Chapter 1 of the story (that is, the Barbos fight in Ghasfarost) with a party of characters which are all level 15 or below. As far as I can tell, this is impossible unless you buy the Half EXP or Combo EXP Grade Shop option, so you have to do it in a New Game+.


Achievement/Trophy:

Speedster

This is for finishing the game in fifteen hours. Really easy in New Game+ with the Grade Shop, and even easier in the PS3 version with the option to skip cutscenes.


Achievement/Trophy:

They Call Me...

You get this by collecting all Titles for all characters. Since many titles are tied to sidequests, including the "fill the monster book" and "fill the item book" ones, this is basically the achievement for 100%ing the game.


Achievement/Trophy:

Vesperia Master

And of course, we have an achievement for getting all other achievements. In the PS3 version this is the Platinum trophy.
