re: rookie hunter related trophies

So for the trophies that ban rookie hunter, are you able to cheese them by turning it off right before you kill sigma? Before you start the final fight? Or do you have to run the whole game without using it?

you have to run the whole game without it.

For the password games, you can play the majority of the game on Rookie, as long as you reset the game to Normal then just jump straight to the final stage via password (although only X2 actually puts you at the final boss stage, X1 and 3 always puts you at the start of the final four stages). However given how hard these final stages are you're only cutting yourself out of the learning curve.

X4 and I assume the other save based games, I found out the hard way that if you turn on Rookie Hunter at any point it'll effectively disqualify that save, even if you restart the whole game on Normal.
