Popular Post damon8r351 Posted September 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) (Sorry, I'm strictly utilitarian for the most part, so no fancy banners or catchy titles) I for one am tired of having Pier Solar and the Great Architects sitting unplayed on my PS4, so I'm proposing a community event to mutually support each other in getting another (or possibly their first) ultra-rare plat added to their profile. The issues keeping people from getting this plat have been patched, from what I understand. So what's the rules? Oh, there's no real rules to this. They're more watch you'd call... guidelines, than actual rules: -What's the timeline? Starting 1 October and finishing up by 31 October 15 November. This gives everyone a little time to finish up whatever else you're working on, and leaves time open if you want to play something else. -What if I can't start right on 1 October? No big deal, start when you can. The entire month is open to do this. -What if I can't get the plat by 31 October 15 November? Again, no big deal. It's a goal to attempt to reach, not a deadline. The main idea of this was to give you an excuse to finish this game within a loose timeframe, while a bunch of other people are encouraging each other to do it. -I have the game already and I'm ready start right meow, can I? Then go ahead. The 1 October start time is really there to give people time to buy the game and install it. Or to get to a point in the other games you're playing where you feel you can start a new game. -Is this a race? No it's not, it's more of a mutually supportive effort to get this plat. So if you find yourself completing this before other people, feel free to post about things you feel other people should watch out for, like shops that are inaccessible after certain points in the story. -Which version are we doing? Either one you feel like doing, PS4 or PS3. As far as I know, they're the same. -Are there going to be certain milestones we have to hit on certain days like other events of this type? No, this is self-paced. I hate being held under a timeline. If you start talking about story spoilers, be an adult and use the spoiler tag. If you're not an adult, use the spoiler tag anyway. If you come across something you think other people should watch out for but you need to talk about story info in order to pinpoint where it is in the game, use the spoiler tag but clue people in outside of it that it's about important info pertaining to missable trophies or glitches. If you see a spoiler tag in a post, be aware that you open it at your own risk. -How do I do one of those spoiler things? [ s p o i l e r ] Your text here [ / s p o i l e r ] (FYI, remove all the spaces I inserted to make it functional) -I have flagged games in my profile, can I participate? Nope. However, everyone else interested in working on this plat is welcome to join. If you have flagged games with PSNP, hide its trophy list via PSN then sync both profiles. -I like using trophy guides, is there one? Yes there is, see the links below. -I'm participating in the 10 Plats In A Single Day challenge. How does this work with that? If you're using Pier Solar as one of your 10 plats to pop in January, I'll consider all but one trophy a successful completion for this event, provided you complete the Eternal Slip mini-game. There's two trophies for that mini-game, but you have to apparently do both in a single shot; even though there's a checkpoint in the middle of it, the checkpoint is not a save point. So you'll have to pick another trophy to hold back on. -When I get the plat, what do I do? Post your triumph in the Most Recent Platinum thread and link to it in here. Or just post here and I'll link to your profile. Whatever works. Pertinent Info: A note about saving: This game has an infrequent habit of crashing. That said, save whenever you can. Auto-save can be turned on in-game by holding down or , then pressing . Also, keep on a lookout for gold disks on the ground with a letter S on them; these are save points and they can be found inside villages and certain dungeons. Difficulty Rating: 6 / 10 (The bulk of the game is pretty easy, it's the Eternal Slip mini-game that bumps up the challenge to this level) Estimated Time To Plat: ~45 hours Minimum Number Of Playthroughs: 2 Missable Trophies: 14 out of 38 Pier Solar PSNP Trophy Guide Pier Solar Genesis Version Walkthrough Participants: 1. damon8r351 2.

Tomoko Kuroki Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 The trophies were patched but it's the eternal slip the reason for the platinums rarity. I wanted to buy this when it was on sale but forgot to. If I end up getting it I'll join the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senbon Kaguya Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'll join when I can get the game. The eternal slip minigame looks challenging but I'm sure I could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I have a feeling that minigame will blister my thumbs from the number of retries like Death Mode in Sound Shapes did. But apparently you can use the D-pad instead of joysticks, which I'm hoping will simplify things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Wouldn't it be awesome if Pier Solar was now made free via PS+ Sign me up as tentative for this one, it all depends on how I feel after finishing Ni No Kuni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Still waiting for the promised Vita version. Along with Mercenary Kings, Axiom Verge, Bastion, Skullgirls 2nd Encore.... Damn maybe I should get it for PS4. X_X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yes, I'm totally into this, been waiting for some chance to get into this game and there it is. Now the only thing that could stop me from playing it would be... I have flagged games in my profile, can I participate? Nope. However, everyone else interested in working on this plat is welcome to join. F- U! Just kidding. Count me in, I'll be doing the PS3 version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSurvivorD Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not going to join in yet until I have the game downloaded and ready to play, but until then I'll be reading up on how everyone else is doing with this. Just saw a video for the Eternal Slip minigame, looks hard but also manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Kiba Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Count me in as well. I've had this game downloaded for the longest time but every time I think to start I find some reason to play something else. So this will be a good excuse to finally start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Just be aware that there are about 14 missable trophies. A few are really easy and simple to pick up but you'll probably want to print a checklist/make notes for 1-4 of them. You do have to do 2 plays, but there are a few that you aren't able to do on the 2nd one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usrmd Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Do you have to start fresh to join? I've most of the trophies but been putting the plat off for a long while.. friggin eternal slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Speaking of Pier Solar, did you ever get that strategy guide Damon? Im in too many events and don't have enough money to keep buying any games when I have so many to play, but I'll definitely be watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Bought this like 10 months ago and have been waiting for an excuse to start it. PSN-skateak/PS4 ver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-LoreLink Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'd like to join this event but I don't own the game...it's too expensive for me (12,99) as I already have to buy Infamous SS and FL for 17,99. Do you guys know when has been the last time the game was on sale ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys know when has been the last time the game was on sale ? I believe it was on sale at some point this month, because I think I bought my copy during the sale. Please sign me up for this! I was just thinking last night about how I should start this one, so it will be good motivation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasaDeBen Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sure why not. Maybe i can remote play the ps4 version of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zajac9999 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Good luck with this guys. Eternal slip is a pain but it isn't that bad. Probably took me about 3-4 hours playtime to get it done I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Do you have to start fresh to join? I've most of the trophies but been putting the plat off for a long while.. friggin eternal slip. You can still join if you started already. The start date is just to give people time to finish what they're doing. Mainly because I'm still trying to finish Far Cry 4. Speaking of Pier Solar, did you ever get that strategy guide Damon? Im in too many events and don't have enough money to keep buying any games when I have so many to play, but I'll definitely be watching No, I never got that strategy guide. Thanks for reminding me that I'm supposed to be still pissed off at these guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I have flagged games in my profile, can I participate? Nope.

Sir_Bee Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I just bought Destiny and the Taken King DLC . So while I would love to join in on this, I am not sure that I will be up for playing it. Put me down as a tentative, while I figure this out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadStanley Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'll give it a shot. I started it for about an hour after I bought it back in August, but honestly I didn't get much of anything done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
