Sendai-Horatio Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) If you want to mix things up make the 100% RPG games with no platinums worth more than a game with a plat. People who are concerned with points would have to really play outside their comfort zone because there are games like Tokyo Jungle and Eternal Ring that require a decent time investment to finish but are rarely played because there's no reason to seek these games out due to their lack of points. There's also a ceiling because these games are in the dozens while RPGs with a platinum are in the hundreds.

InfinateEternity Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Hi, all! Since the event starts in less than 24 hours, I figured I'd declare my double and triple point games: Double Points: 1. Star Ocean: The Second Story R 2. Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness Triple Points: 1. Star Ocean: The Divine Force If there are any issues, please let me know! Otherwise, good luck everyone, and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it!

ProfSeajay7 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Welp, just played Super Sentai Princess Peach for my nieces and sharing meat with them for Easter. My sister said that the dessert course was "better than sex", but I dunno - anything with a nut crust on it, in my honest opinion, is never better than making love... not like I ever slept with a woman or even kissed one in my life. With that R-rated embarrassment out in the open, I want to give a list of games that I will definitely plan to work on at the start of the event. In fact, I have one being prepped now: Final Fantasy XIV - PS4 list. I finally got 999 levequests(though I went over 1000 due to having to unlock a levemete or two) and now that the Horizon Potion Market went bankrupt I ended up hanging in The Tam-Tara Deepcroft with the ugliest group ever to get 99 guildhests completed. 😛 I also am working on mining, harvesting, and fishing as much as I can to get the 1000 mining, botany and fishing trophies ready. I'm doing this all on the free trial so I can pop those trophies when I upgrade the account. There are other games, though: Secret of Mana, Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana are all on the docket(since I put them in my list for the Spring Backlog challenge) and I am really hoping to get the PS3 version of Ni No Kuni started soon. (My dad bought a used PS3 and I had to delete the accounts on it.) Anyways, good luck to you Peeps(I mean people, not the marshmallow chickens ) tomorrow when the event begins. Ciao for now!

If you care about 100%, the game has a DLC with trophies. My copy included a code for the Taiwanese store, but I am not sure whether all copies include a code for the DLC and in the case of used copies whether it is still usable.

The sequel Escha & Logy is way easier to plat as there are no superbosses required for the plat and the games also got in general easier after Ayesha. Good luck with the Star Ocean games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice choices for your double and triple points I know I can find new or new-ish copies through E-Bay; I did a cursory search on that one last night. Didn't go delving into the DLC, but the anal-retentive completionist in me will drive me to do so soon enough. .... I was hoping to have Disgaea 6 done by tonight to stash into the 2023 competition, but it's simply too much mindless grinding. So it's going to be a similar scenario to my intended experience with 9th Dawn III from last year, in which I have a handful of trophies to finish up and hopefully they can be done reasonably quickly. Of course, given my experience roughly 12 months ago, I've just finished backing up my saves to a USB out of an abundance of caution paranoia. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterArchuria Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 So i wanted to post a game finished but I gotta ask @Psy-Tychist what the changes to the scoring will be before I post it just to make sure since you said there would be some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Cress Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I'll put down my double and triple point games before the month concludes. 3x Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles 2x Unicorn Overlord The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Maybe this year I'll actually play one of these things. Good luck and I'll surely be in the middle of the points leaderboard again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfSeajay7 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) My plan was to April Fool's you all, but... I April Fooled myself as I posted in last year's RPG Mania thread. Oops. Can't believe that thread isn't shut down yet, guess this event has to start first... Hopefully the first game on the list will be Final Fantasy XIV, the PS4 edition. I plan on getting the trophies almost all at once. Today I will spend all day working on some of the more grindy trophies. I plan on getting the real stinkers done when I upgrade. Yes, this version is on the Free Trial but I will upgrade to one month of game time just to get the platinum and then deleting this version and deleting my account connected to it, because I already have a dedicated PS5 FFXIV account and don't want to pay for the PS4 version. I plan on buying a level and story skip to get straight to the important trophies by having a Level 80 Warrior just rip and tear through those annoying dungeon runs.

SWWDevereux Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Completion #1 First blood goes to... Hatoful Boyfriend 75 + (0xG, 2xS, 15xB) = 94 - 21.74 = 72.26 × 3 (triple point game) + 50 speed run (69th/9741) = 266.78 Amazing game, a worthy holder of the 'Role Playing' tag on PSNP. Glad I got this in my PS+ library before it got delisted years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Psy-Tychist Posted April 2 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 2 So here we are to start a new year of RPG gaming and finding games you never knew existed. This year, there are some changes to scoring but nothing major. For next year I will be looking at a major overhaul of scoring and see whether I can make it more balanced for playing games which involve a time investment, but for now here are the changes this year: The New Release Bonus and Speed Run Bonus can not be claimed together. If the game is completed within 30 days of release then it applies for the New Game bonus. If the game is completed at any other time and meets the requirements of the Speed Run bonus, then that can be applied. The limit now on the Series Stacker is at 10 but really is 11. You can get up to a bonus of 200pts maximum for the Series Stacker which means that in total 11 games can be completed from a series to earn this amount (the first game doesn't include the stacker bonus). The Seasonal Bonus is now a maximum of 3 entries per month for a maximum of 100pts. Still incentivises games for the theme but not to overshadow the idea of playing the games you want to play. 9th Dawn III has been added to the Most Wanted List as per request. In July, I will trial out some challenges (as mentioned by @AlterArchuria) to see whether it gives another layer to playing the games throughout the year. Finally, the biggest change I am making is to the Call Out Bonus. Throughout the seasons it has been used by people but has had no real traction. So I propose a more radical change to it to make it more interesting. This season, if you want to Call Out another person, it will be a one on one matchup where the other person will call out a game on your profile for a possible bonus of 3x. If the challenge is accepted, then it is a race to finish as whoever finishes their game first will get the bonus. However, the person who finishes second earns no points for their game at all. High risk, high reward. Note, here are the new rules for the Call out bonus: When issuing a challenge to another competitor, the challenger cannot earn trophies in that game while the challenge has been issued. Both games in the challenge have to be below 15% completion when the challenge begins. Only when the challenged competitor agrees and chooses a game in return will the match begin. The first to post completion in the thread will be the winner of the match and earn points accordingly. Bear in mind that this is optional and for those who want to try their hand against someone else in friendly(ish) competition. In other news, the event is officially open and with that, April brings a new Seasonal Stacker. As Easter has already come and gone in this household, April is a time of Spring Cleaning, to get rid of that unnecessary junk stuck around the house or in the attic. That is this months stacker - Spring Cleaning: This stacker will count if you can get items which include the word 'Junk', 'Rubbish' or 'Trash' and not some character saying that something is junk or trash. P.S - I love the April Fool's Joke. 19 hours ago, SWWDevereux said: Hatoful Boyfriend 75 + (0xG, 2xS, 15xB) = 94 - 21.74 = 72.26 × 3 (triple point game) + 50 speed run (69th/9741) = 266.78 Amazing game, a worthy holder of the 'Role Playing' tag on PSNP.

Walt the Dog Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Quick question: since no stacking is allowed, can I choose which stack of a game I do is the one I count for points or do I have to count whichever one I get done first? I ask since I'm working on the four versions of Sorcery Saga at the moment and I want to get the NA plat before I move on to any of the other versions, but I'm considerably farther in that version (61% compared to 8-11% on the other three stacks), so I'd like to know if I can safely just get the NA plat, not submit it, and then just submit one of the other three versions, or if I have to hold off on the NA plat to use any of the other versions.

Generally I would say that the first completion is the one that would be valid. In your case, I know you like to do all stacks available so I will allow one of the four stacks to be submitted as per your choice. My only caveat is to know which stack you are going to choose for points beforehand.
