Always have been interested in getting back into Trails in the Sky. I played the first one on PSP, and I'm just waiting for the price to drop on PSN, or maybe I'll wait for a GOG sale. How was the 3rd game. I heard it's not really a continuation of 1+2.

Great, great, great! 

Play them as soon as possible!

September 1 Update (A few days late):

 

S Ranks 93 => 106 (+13)

A Ranks 26 => 25 (-1)

B Ranks 7 => 6 (-1)

C Ranks 20 => 21 (+1)

D Ranks 8 => 6 (-2)

E Ranks 12 => 11 (-1)

F Ranks 0 => 0 (0)

 

Completion Percentage: 68.31% => 70.82 (+ 2.51)

 

Number of Platinums: 85 => 97 (+12)

 

Number of Trophies earned in July: 318 (Second Highest month ever)

 

 

Overall last month was really solid for me. I am continuing my push for 100 platinums which should be in the next week or so. I earned 12 platinums last month my most ever in a single month. I knocked off one E rank and two D ranks. My percentage topped over 70% now and in every category I felt it move in the right direction. This month will slow down probably considerably, but we'll see. 

[Edunstar84]

Managed to get Trails of Cold Steel 2 up to Rank C! If I finish the storyline, I might manage to get it to B. Not sure if I'll complete the game in 2 or 3 playthroughs. There's an extra dungeon that unlocks at the end of the 2nd playthrough, and I'm not sure if I want to do it on my Nightmare run.

 

The only thing I don't like about this game is that everyone's super nice to each other. Like

The dude killed a guy in cold blood, and everyone is hoping to bring him back to school. Really?! And what bugs me is no one is talking about it.

Now on Rank A for Cold Steel 2. It will be a while before I plat the game and obtain an S rank. Maybe in 2 weeks?

[colinmazzini]

New Major Milestone:

 

This past week I hit 100 platinums. That is my extended goal done. I am 6 D ranks away and 2 E ranks away from my end goal for the year. I have decided to try and extend it to 125 platinums total for the year. I am not sure I can do it but it is about 8 platinums a month for the rest of the year. It may be possible but this has already pushed me pretty far so I would like to put out one more challenge that I may or may not be able to do.

[Yomako01]

Current Progress: 83.51%

 

Eliminated all games ranked below C.

[Edunstar84]

Started Danganronpa after I platted Cold Steel 2. Right now at D rank, but I think I can get it to C before the month ends. For next month, I'll be working on platting 1 game I abandoned and possibly starting and finishing another game that's not on my PSN list. So maybe I'll be lucky to have 3 plats.

October Update:

 

S - 61

A - 7

B - 1

C - 3

D - 2

E - 11

F - 1

 

Games - 86

Completion - 75.22%

 

Platted Cold Steel 2, and I'm sad that there was nothing announced at TGS. So it might be a year before we get any news, maybe next year's TGS? I need to finish off some of my E ranked games. My goal is 6, but if I can get it down to 8, I think I'll be happy with that.

 

 

[fantrig99]

I might only set a small goal for the time being:

S - 66
A - 35
B - 0
C - 1
D - 0
E - 1
F - 1

Thanks!

September report 

 

This month I went back to school ( well not going to school but my internship started) so i dont have as much time as i did during the summer. At the end of August I was asked to join a TLOU boost for september, I accepted that invite willingly and soon we started to boost. I have never did any of Naughty Dog's multiplayer so I had no clue what to expect. Before the boost i went back to Dying Light, I wanted to kill some zombies and I still didnt do the Following so that 2 birds 1 stone. I also got back to Uncharted 1 (PS3) I platted that game and it was really fun to play that again. I think i will play UC2 and UC3 in the coming months again and try to plat those aswell. When the TLOU boost started i wanted to play the SP again and i finished my survivor playthrough. After finishing on this difficulty i started a Grounded + playthrough and im now on 25% done. But I want to get the TLOU plat as my 50th milestone platinum so that has to wait. That was the moment i was going for some games that i was nearly done with to get my platinum trophies up some more. And just before the weekend I wanted to play some infamous, tbh I wanted to play second son. But i couldn't let myself play that one before i did infamous 2 since i have that one in my collection. 

 

96 trophies in total and got 3 platinums. Completed 2 games and boosted my ranks on 2 others games while 1 new game was started.

Too late, I'm working on that since a few months back, so it will be no big difference.

 

But Im working on all games with S or A rank and none of them with a rate under 40%

[ladynadiad]

@fantrig99 - Not too late at all.  I joined in November in last year's.  I'm probably not going to cut off sign ups until like mid December.

 

@TurtlePM - If you want to join as well, I have no problem adding you.

 

Anyway, I'm working on the monthly update right now and should have it all done by the end of the day.  As far as my progress goes, well it wasn't much again, but at least I only added one E rank with Danganronpa V3 that I played a bit of and then got sucked back into Ys 8 and will definitely not be able to pry myself away from Ys until I earn that last trophy and get the plat.  All I have left is beating the game with the true ending on nightmare and I'm at the end of chapter 5 now so almost there at least!

 

Doubt I'm going to be able to get everything to an A rank by the end of the year with me getting Sen no Kiseki 3 as well and that is going to suck me in, but I'm going to at least try to make as many of my goals as possible.  85% completion should be doable, as should eliminating my E ranks, so once I finish Ys 8, I'm going to focus on those goals first.

 

And a couple of things.  One, some of you guys may note that a few spots on the spreadsheet are being highlighted in green.  That's going to be for goals that have been fulfilled and are unlikely to change by the end of the year, for now number of S rank and platinum goals met.  Also, since I've been pretty bad lately at keeping up on mid-month updates I'm going to just keep it to monthly ones until the challenge ends.

 

Edit: Updating done!

[K0t0bl1tz]

September went fine for me. No overdue trophies and I didn't even have to touch The game of Thrones to catch up. I was busy with Zen Pinball 2 and Witcher 3, and just now...

 

S rank #81 and #47

 

 

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

 

And now it's time to go back to GTA V, my only E rank.

[colinmazzini]

October 1 Update:

 

S Ranks 106 => 115 (+9)

A Ranks 25 => 25 (0)

B Ranks 6 => 7 (+1)

C Ranks 21 => 21 (0)

D Ranks 6 => 6 (0)

E Ranks 11 => 11 (0)

F Ranks 0 => 0 (0)

 

Completion Percentage: 70.82% => 72.11 (+ 1.29)

 

Number of Platinums: 97 => 106 (+9)

 

Number of Trophies earned in September: 260 

 

A pretty good month overall. Not as good as last month, but I also had a brand new baby August 30 (I got so lucky this time around she is an easy-going baby). So 9 platinums with a 4 week old isn't too bad in my book. I hit my extended goal on platinums of 100. I didn't touch my D and E grades. I planned to fix that this month with joining the Casual Attack on Backlog.

Thanks. A new little one is always great.

Fake milestone time!

 

Forgot to post my 777th Silver trophy some time ago but nevermind - I have something new today!

 

Bronze #2,222 (Zen Pinball 2)

 

Get That Party Started
Serve all customers to get to the Wizard Mode on the Bob's Burgers Pinball table. (Single player only)

 

Also, first time this year, my completion rate is 93%

 

 

[Edunstar84]

Forgot to mention that I got S rank for another game that wasn't on my list previously, Unravel. It's a nice gem of a game. Has a handful of frustrating parts but very doable.

[Yomako01]

Current Progress: 83.69%

Danganronpa 2 is a lot of fun, barring the final trophy.

It's great seeing and reading a lot of people playing the game. Did you buy the Danganronpa V3 yet?

Yes, though it hasn't arrived yet. It's the last one I haven't played/completed (The rerelease/remaster not withstanding). Getting it for the vita

 

[ladynadiad]

I got DRV3 on Vita as well.  Even if I have a PS4 now, just couldn't justify paying an extra $20 for a game I'd be able to play less often.  I take my Vita with me to work and play on breaks and lunch.  That's great time to handle grindy stuff like talent development plan and casino games.  And that's also a big part of why 7 of my last 8 plats are Vita plats.

[fantrig99]

A little update. After 172 hours of Persona 4 Golden I added another completed game.

S - 62 to 63

D - 1 to 0

Planning to start the Falcom series Ys: Memories of Celceta on the Vita. I'm looking forward to another great JRPG series.

 

 

 

[Edunstar84]

Started Final Fantasy Type-0 today. It's an awesome game so far. Only played a couple of hours.
