manudude02 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Update time. Finally caught a glimpse of that light at the end of the tunnel when this happened: https://imgur.com/gallery/LhgekyH As mentioned a couple of updates back, the plan was to then get the 255 zoology drops for Sarah when this was done, and after redoing the Satanael fight again for Sarah's boss trophies and grinding out 999 revives, now both Faize and Sarah are up to 100%. My Myuria seemed to be a fair bit behind so I'm building her up a bit right now, but in theory I'm just a lot of grinding away from the platinum. I do still have my Universe/Chaos runs to do, and get Faize's ending which I keep screwing up, and 100 races, but those are just a matter of time. I still think it will take me well over a month, I am not known for playing quickly, but it will happen. Battle trophies: Edge: 81 Reimi: 85 Faize: 100 Lymle: 83 Bacchus: 81 Meracle: 85 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 69 Arumat: 88 Total: 772/900 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude02 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Another Sunday, which means another update. I managed to 100% Reimi and Myuria and last night finished off Lymle to 100%. For the 123 damage, I was doing long range attacks at 112 ATK vs a Killer Wasp. The plan now is to go for Meracle 100% and if that happens with time to spare, probably start my universe run and do the Bacchus farming there. After that, it'll just be Arumat/Edge left for the long grinds. I have a few more bunny races under my belt, though still have a long way to go there. Battle trophies: Edge: 82 Reimi: 100 Faize: 100 Lymle: 100 Bacchus: 89 Meracle: 85 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 100 Arumat: 89 Total: 845/900 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude02 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It's been a slow week for me, so there isn't a huge amount to report on for this week. However, I did finish off Meracle to 100%. I changed my mind over what to do with Bacchus and have decided to just farm his in Nox Obscuris. So far with Bacchus, I have completed all his damage trophies (the 65536 one sucked). Now he just needs 255 rush modes, 255 robotics (and 50/100) and 999 mechanical kills. I did however start my universe run with getting the Faize ending in mind and will be continuing that once I get something to eat. I'm currently saved just before the phantoms fight there. I won't have much time to play next week as I'll be abroad for most of it, but should be able to finish off my Universe run. I'll probably go for Chaos right after (at least until the point of no return, it's a nice last thing to do for the platinum) so don't expect much BT progress for next week. Battle trophies: Edge: 82 Reimi: 100 Faize: 100 Lymle: 100 Bacchus: 95 Meracle: 100 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 100 Arumat: 89 Total: 866/900 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude02 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Another week gone, and as stated before, being out of the country for most of the week has meant that I haven't been able to get that many hours in for this. That said, I did finish my universe run (9 hours) and got the Faize ending and my Chaos file is currently on Roak, though I'm going to make that the last thing I do for the platinum. I am still working on Bacchus' ology drops (by my count, on 155 so far). The rest of his BTs however are done so I am doing as many kills as I can with Edge and hit a couple more of his BTs out. It'll be more of the same for this week, but I should get Bacchus done tomorrow and then I can work on Edge or Arumat depending on how I feel (the general route is the same for either). Battle Trophies: Edge: 84 Reimi: 100 Faize: 100 Lymle: 100 Bacchus: 99 Meracle: 100 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 100 Arumat: 89 Total: 872/900 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude02 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Update time: I'm getting close to the end now. I have nowhere left to run when it comes to all these Edge and Arumat kills. I finished Bacchus' drops and suffered through the 100 bunny races, and then cleared out pretty much all of the miscellaneous BTs for Edge and Arumat. I'm currently farming away at the Palace of Creation to try and get Edge's ology drops. Seeing as I'm now on 892/900, I may as well just post the BTs I'm missing now: Edge - 30k/100k hits, 255 Anthropology drops, 15k/30k enemy kills Arumat - 8k/15k/30k enemy kills After I get the Anthropology drops, I'm debating whether to stay at the Palace or go to the Cave of the Seven stars for the rest of the kills. I'm working on trying to do a certain number of battles per day depending on how much free time I have. I did 1500 yesterday, but that burned me out, so will probably settle for 500 when I have work and 1000 when I don't (may need to settle for 250 when I have work and other commitments). I'm currently on around 11k kills on Edge and 4600 ish on Arumat. This is more of a formality given the above, but overall battle trophies: Edge - 95 Reimi - 100 Faize - 100 Lymle - 100 Bacchus - 100 Meracle - 100 Sarah - 100 Myuria - 100 Arumat - 97 Total: 892/900 Edited May 1, 2022 by manudude02 missed a few details 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude02 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Update time: I suspect this might be the last update before my platinum. I have finished the grind for Edge (44 hours to get the kills) and finished his other BTs, and started the grind for Arumat. I think I'm somewhere around 7500 kills for him now. I played a little more of my Chaos file last night and beat the phantoms which I'm glad about seeing it was the one fight I was most worried about if I am going to do a platinum stream. Going by my estimates. I expect to have the 30k kills finished on Friday night or Saturday, and then I'll just need to complete the Chaos run to get the platinum. Battle trophies: Edge: 100 Reimi: 100 Faize: 100 Lymle: 100 Bacchus: 100 Meracle: 100 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 100 Arumat: 97 Total: 897/900 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winter_bird_22 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I can't take this challenge. I played Star Ocean 2 as my first entry and OMFG that was hard, I'd rather try to speedrun Pokemon Ultra Moon with nothing but an unevolved Alolan Sandshrew more than attempt to do this challenge. (And that's impossible without Double Team due to Alolan Sandshrew being quad weak to fighting and fire attacks and having the worst special defense in all of Pokemon, so even a simple Bubble attack can one-shot it. ) That's not to say I won't support anyone attempting to do this platinum, as I recently platinumed FFXIV (the PS5 trophy list, and boy howdy that game DRAGGED - I mean, 3000 FATEs is no small amount!), and it was so tedious that it ruined the game for me and I've stopped playing FFXIV for a month or so. Still, I applaud those attempting to 100% all the battle trophies and wish you all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Trigger Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 It's been +2 years since I last played SO4. I'm in the mood to complete the game again, but never mind... I think I'll just play the main story. Don't wanna spend another 700 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post manudude02 Posted May 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2022 Platinum update!! Getting Arumat to 30,000 kills was more annoying than expected, the usual strat of Black Hole Sphere wasn't working so I just went vanilla Dragon Roar on them. The final battle trophy dropped at last early this afternoon and that only left completing chaos mode. The phantoms were surprisingly easy until the last wave, but managed to win first time. The rest of the game while getting into a few sketchy spots were easy enough. I was streaming today to show it off, only had a technical issue seconds before the platinum trophy actually appeared :(. My total time was somewhere around 640 hours, which I know is slower than most, but as mentioned before, I am not known for playing quickly. For me, those two 30k kill BTs really killed a lot of the fun in it, but was having a good time until then. Battle trophies (as if it's not 100% obvious) Edge: 100 Reimi: 100 Faize: 100 Lymle: 100 Bacchus: 100 Meracle: 100 Sarah: 100 Myuria: 100 Arumat: 100 Total: 900/900 ps. not that I'm that bothered by it, but why does Myuria appear after Sarah in the character order? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thedah Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 I'm going in for round 2! I first did the 1000/1000 on the Xbox 360 back in 2012 and now I finally found the motivation to do it again on PSN. I just beat the game and got all the endings and am starting my post game journey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedah Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Got 30k kills with Arumat and all the -ology drops minus Bacchus now. Working on Edge's 30k kills at the moment. I think I'm gonna save this plat for #200 so I'm gonna hold off on the platinum for awhile.

ProfSeajay7 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Might as well put me in the thread as I decided to put this game as my 10/10 difficulty in the Platinum Difficulty challenge.
