Secret Episode requirements/save files question

[TheDevilSurvivor]

This is about the Final MIX Secret Episode, not the game's Final Episode which I have already completed.

 

I know that in Standard you have to complete the report, in Proud you have to collect every sticker and in Critical you just have to finish the game.
Does this have to be with EVERY character? Or can I just finish 2 stories in beginner then one in Critical and I unlock the Secret Episode?

I heard that the game picks the lowest difficulty you chose for the Secret Episode requirements (this is what I want to know the most). I don't really understand it:

-I have 3 beginner (all 3 characters), 1 Proud (Aqua) and 1 Critical (Terra) save files completed. Plus 1 Proud (Ventus) not yet completed.

Going by the logic of the lowest difficulty, that means I will never be able to unlock the Secret Episode because I have a beginner save file and it's impossible to unlock it on beginner. I'm planning on finishing Ventus then Aqua on Critical for the Critical Mode trophy. Will it unlock the Episode then or will it read I have beginner save files and it won't unlock?

If not, does deleting the lowest difficulty save files work?

If that doesn't work I'm probably screwed aren't I?

Backup your beginner save files and try deleting them. Might work!

 

Btw, the Secret Episode unlocks in Standard mode when you collect all Xehanort's reports, complete sticker album with all characters and defeat 9,999 Unversed! (can confirm, unlocked it myself few weeks ago) It's not that big deal to get it!

Don't worry, as soon as you reach the requirements the Episode will unlock, no matter how many saves on different dificulties you have, the game will prioritize higher difficulties. Oh and BTW, on Standard it's just like karcci said, you don't need the full reports.

Alright, thanks a lot for clearing that up guys. I was already thinking of dropping all this Secret Episode business!

So currently the game sees that the highest rank you completed the game is Terra(Critical), Ventus(Beginner), and Aqua(Proud). Therefore secret episode is not accessible because of the Ventus beginner file. Once you complete Ventus' proud game you can follow the Proud rules for unlocking the secret episode.

Then I'll tell ya what - today I finished 100% of reports on Terra (so there's only Aqua to go) and I started by collecting stickers and treasure chest and after collecting all stickers as soon as I got into a save point there was a message saying that I unlocked Secret Episode, I went to title screen - Trinity Archives and boom "You unlocked Blank Points". AND I WAS PLAYING ON BEGINNER, so I can confirm you can unlock it, how? Well, I've got 100% on Terra and Ventus, then on Aqua stickers, so yeah, try that

Is this the same when it comes to the Critical trophy? Can I have 4 Standard saves (Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and Secret Episode) and then do 4 Critical saves and the trophy will still pop, or do I need to delete my Standard ones?

No need to delete anything, do the 3 characters and do the requirements to unlock Final Episode, then do that and get Secret Episode, then once you finish that one you'll get the trophy, just make sure to use a different save file for each episode, so you should have 5 saves at the end, your 5 from Standard and the 5 from Critical.

No u don't have to complete the reports or anything like that. All u have to do to unlock the secret episode is to find all the stickers with all the characters. Doesn't matter if all of your characters are in beginner mode. I unlocked the secret episode with all 3 characters in beginner mode.
