If I was closer to 5000 then maybe, but at the rate I gain trophies that would be a bit of a wait, and I don't want to wait that long. And as far as gooood feelings go, when that trophy popped my feelings were something like this: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with that out of the way, I'll be moving on to Chaos difficulty as well. I can smell the faint scent of success lingering already. ?

Popular Post locutus442 Posted September 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2018 Mission accomplished! Playtime: main: 467:02:59 Faize: 86:48:12 Universe: 29:45:03 Chaos: 34:03:58 Total playtime: 617:40:12 A couple of thanks are in order. One to Netflix, for keeping me sane/conscious while I was grinding Battle Trophies. The other to @iamjax for his giveaway back in November. The funds I received from it went to getting this game. And I may go back to the Ps3 version and get the platinum on that one, just not anytime soon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should celebrate this one at least to some extent (have a drink! ?) as this is not just your ordinary 30-40 hr platinum. Anyways, I'm right behind you mang! Just doing a bit of grinding to get ready for Satanail and I'll finally reach the end as well! I bet that Bison "yes!" in your thoughts just got more enthusiastic. ?

Popular Post Lum Posted September 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2018 After 3 months of solely dedicating myself to this game (and the fact that I usually like playing my games one at a time), my long, epic journey has finally reached it's conclusion: I'm a very, very happy gamer at the moment! If there's a game out there that tests your patience to the extreme, it's definitely Star Ocean 4...JRPG and the mother of all grinds, so to speak. Things I could have done differently to make time for the platinum more efficient: - Drop the idea of trying to complete every monster's bestiary to 100% - Save most of the battle trophies to be done until post game when everyone is at their strongest - Take the chance of facing and defeating the bosses at lower levels instead of grinding enough to where I actually dominate them easily - Skipping scenes in both my Galaxy and Universe playthroughs I suppose, but that would take away much from the overall experience I wish good luck to those who are still continuing this journey, as well as those who have plans on beginning it. For those that are having hang-ups on the platinum, consider at least doing a little at a time, even if it's for only a few hours for a day or two a week, since going the marathon route by grinding day after day after day can tire you out fast and may not be suitable for everybody. Oh and if anyone's wondering, my sanity is still intact. Game stats: Galaxy run: 527:56 Faize run (Galaxy): 37:05 Universe run: 38:15 Chaos run: 24:05 Total time: 627:21 Trophies: 47/47 attained!!! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Glad to get the grind completed after watching some DB super, One Piece with the Persona series, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy soundtracks to keep me motivated. I'm looking forward to the Faize run and aiming to overcome Armaros Manifest II for the 2nd time, 130 enemies, and 55 Grigori to complete the Ultimate Battler's final challenges. 14 hours ago, Dragon-Archon said: Nice, that was fast .
