XX_FTW Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I don't want to use a guide or walkthrough for my first playthrough. Is there anything--spoiler-free please--that could significantly increase my time to plat that I need to look out for? Like the Adachi social link level that will force me to do a third playthrough of P4G when I finally go for plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladynadiad Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 2 hours ago, XX_FTW said: 1 CS1 is the trickier of the two to platinum because there are some things you can miss and need an additional playthrough to get because it takes two playthroughs to get them all. That's going to be the trophies for the master quartz and the character notes. At one point you'll receive a reward for something that allows you to pick from two master quartz and you get one per playthrough, so you have to be sure not to miss the conditions for it in your first. The easy conditions are doing quests and getting battle notes. Do all the quests offered to you and analyze each enemy you meet and you'll get those. The potentially harder one is the notebook one. You have to get at least half of the character notes in your first playthrough. A good chunk of those are story or quest related. Then you just have to talk to certain instructors in chapter 5 or later and the principal in the final chapter once you meet those conditions. The other one is that there are two days where you have more characters who can give notes from bonding events than points for the events, so you'll have to get the rest in a second playthrough. But if you pick the wrong characters the first time, you could miss out on some notes. So I would highly advise to look at step 4 in the overall walkthrough in the second playthrough section. That just lists out what days those come up and what characters you can get notes for along with the bonding points available. Keep that in the back of your mind so you get at least half of the notes from those days. What's also a joy is that those chapter 6 ones also are required for the bonding trophies, so you also want to be sure to pick the characters you have a good amount of link experience with among the ones you need the notes for. I'd advise to save Sara and Towa's bonding trophies for the second playthrough because you are unlikely to get enough link experience in the first playthrough for them and you want to try and get at least 4 bonding trophies in your first playthrough and just aim for people available from chapter 1 onwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you don't want to use guide, but hasegawa's guide (guide as guide, not the walkthrough) is very spoiler-free in terms of actual story progression and concentrates on the trophies.

Edunstar84 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) @XX_FTW, like everyone else said it is a bit tricky, unless you don't mind doing a 3rd playthrough. I find the walkthrough slightly less spoiler-free than the guide, though. I'm using it right now, but my purpose is to get all the missables in my 1st playthrough. For some reason I can't really sit back and enjoy the story if I knew I had to do a 3rd playthrough. Speaking of 3rd playthrough, it looks like I have to do one. I missed a few enemy scans. Fortunately, I started Chapter 3, and if I scan every enemy from now on I'll just have to do a partial playthrough, or spend my point on Note carry over. Sidenote: I might be able to finish early February, just in time for Dragon's New Year event. And I see that he recently purchased the game.

I know you said you don't want to use guide, but hasegawa's guide (guide as guide, not the walkthrough) is very spoiler-free in terms of actual story progression and concentrates on the trophies. I found the walkthrough for CS1 was pretty spoiler free as well. hasegawa did a great job making a guide that won't ruin the fun of the first playthrough if someone wants to refer to either of them to ensure they don't miss the missables and the second playthrough section only covers the stuff that needs two playthroughs to get along with the stuff you aren't as likely to get naturally by playing the game twice (1 million mira, 100 hours played and 1000 battles won). I should also add that technically it is doable to obtain all the bonding trophies in one playthrough, but it also will be very time consuming to use this method in CS1. That's why I advised to aim for four of them because that's pretty easy to do without even trying. The max you can get is seven. Thankfully, CS2 is much easier. The trophies that require a second playthrough in that one are things that are only available in a NG+ run and if you royally screw up the bonding trophies it's way easier to get them all in a single playthrough.

XX_FTW Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks for answering my question, everyone. Especially the detailed answer by @ladynadiad. I was a bit lost on a couple of those points... I'm not sure yet if I'll just risk it for the sake of a natural playthrough or glance at the guide and hope it doesn't detract from my enjoyment. Good to hear the guide isn't spoilery. And yeah, knowing im doomed for three playthroughs can kill my momentum after the first clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm female and straight, so I admit to an attraction to the hot and stupidly powerful swordsmen in this series. Spoiler Though I admit, Demon McBurn is also incredibly creepy with those eyes, freaky symbols and creepy voice. Doesn't stop me from being oddly fascinated.

Edunstar84 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Just wondering if anyone is playing CS1 at the moment...Really enjoying the story so far. And I'm happy that I haven't forgotten some of the characters from Trails in the Sky. And also that one guy's voice *shudder* EDIT: I forgot to mention that I've only played the first Sky game. Waiting for the price to drop on the 2nd. Edited January 10, 2017 by Edunstar84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
