Platinum obtainable

[Trailer]

I had spent over 200 hours on this game, and it took me over 100 hours on the HELL R'lyeh 10F to grind for the final two skills I missed.
Well, I tried every means in order to unlock Star Lightning Gun and Kusanagi but to no avail.
Each astral stops learning any further physical skills after Lightning Blade Ascension, no matter how I fight against Nyarlathotep.
Just in case I even fully evolved all astrals, and then continuously spammed physical skills. Finally I gave up.
The skill collection rates will stay at 99%, it sucks.
By that time I just considered the 100% Skill and Item trophies very time consuming and RNG trophies.
But after reading through the Japanese site 5ch, I firmly believed that these two skills above and the plat are still unobtainable.

 

Here are serious bugs I have:
1. Two types of Fruit of Life exist.
2. Star Lightning Gun and Kusanagi are unobtainable.
3. The last sell item Hope Diamond and part of rare drop weapons, such as Wand of the world tree are unobtainable.

 

Naturally, Ver.1.05 patch of JP version had fixed all these bugs above.
And according to the response, the drop rate of Hope Diamond was highly increased.
These facts are quite enough to prove that bugs haven't been fixed in HK version.
The last patch of HK version was Ver.1.02, though it includes all patch notes of JP version from Ver.1.03 to Ver.1.05.
While these weren't written into patch notes and bugs remained as far as I am concerned.

 

In the end, I tried both physical and digital versions, got back to Ver.1.00 then upgraded, even reset my PS4 and repeated the previous steps.
Unsurprisingly, nothing had changed.

Congratulations!.
I'm also investing my time to get platinum. PS4 in Korea is also 1.02.
I'm going to play with vita.
Should we start with a new game when playing Vita?
Vita is 1.03 version, but the content is the same as PS4.
I'm playing with ps data, but my skills and cane don't come out.
You may not remember because you played it a long time ago, but I hope you help me.
1. Should we play a new game after updating vita 1.03?
2. Where did you get the Wand of the world tree?

@LEEHASA Careful with the Vita version. It crashes a lot, sometimes corrupting save. Backup save to PC or any other device on a regular basis.

AFAIK story trophies won't autopop, thus I firstly started a new game on Vita then transferred my save in order not to make my timestamps a mess.

A new start is regrettably necessary in case you are going for the 2 plat stacks.

Refer to this guide for details, though I didn't get Wand of the world tree here IIRC. Still can be used as a reference then.

I'm guessing HK and KR versions have the same trophies issues so wish you the best of luck and are gonna be number one! ?

We'll play it again with a new game. Please wish me luck. Thank you.?
