Trophy Discussion

They don't look too bad, though I wonder how much of it is gonna be missable. "天気予報マニア" and "おしゃれマスター" sound like they might be missable

They really put a lot of thought into those images.

The trophies are pretty grindy, but I guess that's not much of a surprise in a DQ game. For the platinum you basically have to do everything the game has to offer, including beating the majority of the optional dungeons/bosses and challenges, getting all characters to level 99 and collecting all the unique armor sets. I haven't confirmed this, but I'm pretty sure none of the trophies are missable.

I just got the platinum. I don't believe any of the trophies are missable. There aren't any areas that get locked away as you progress through the story, to my knowledge. Well, maybe a couple of dungeons, but there shouldn't be anything in there required for the trophies.

 

My general thoughts are that it's not a hard platinum, just grindy as heck.

- If any of the optional bosses/battles give you trouble, you are required to get everyone to level 99 anyway, which will make those bosses fairly easy if you have a decent strategy. (Being level 99 does NOT mean you can kill the boss just by attacking a few times). There is a very easy, but kinda annoying, way to farm Metal King Slimes, so it shouldn't take toooooo long to level up.

- The only luck-based trophy is the one for the Casino. I got lucky with slots and hit a big jackpot after maybe 2-3 hours, but I can't say if it'll be that easy for everyone else.

- I recommend a guide for the bowgun trophy, unless you like running around all the maps squinting at everything from every angle.

- Someone in this forum said some quests may be missable, but if that's true, it's not really anything to worry about because there are far more than 40 quests in the game (40 required for trophy). I only completed 46 quests.

- Explore every location thoroughly, so you get as many small medals and crafting materials as possible. Near the end of the game, you can farm small medals if you miss too many of them, and most/all of the rare materials needed to craft costume sets are purchasable or easily obtainable... if you know where to look.

- Every other trophy should be pretty straightforward and won't require much grind.

I'd say maybe 100-120 hours?

My in-game timer was around 140 hours... but I tend to multitask, and my Japanese reading speed is slower, and I was playing without any guides until doing trophy clean up at the end.

Are there separate trophy lists for the different regions? Like an EU and JP list as 2 different lists?

Since I can't sync my Trophys, there should be two.

[LordBilbanes]

That's my question as well.  There hasn't been a Western trophy list published as yet.

Can you tell if they added anything related to the Draconian Quest options?
