Rough trophy translation + trophy thoughts.

[Nightowljrm]

Hey, everyone. I've been looking forward to this game for a little while now and pre-ordered the limited edition from CDJapan. (As a side-note, normally I go with Play-Asia, but it kept saying 'coming soon', so I thought I missed the pre-order window, turns out as of today they updated the page to say they expect the stock to come in on the 15th, the game comes out on the 16th... but that's irrelevant). I don't speak or read Japanese at any capacity, so I ran all the trophy descriptions through Google Translate. I know it's not 100% accurate, but it's accurate enough to figure out what you'll need to do.

 

Overall, the trophy list seems pretty easy. I'm surprised you don't have to collect all articles of clothing or anything like that. The only trophies that seem like they could pose any challenge could be the 8 SSS ranks and beating all the ghosts in Time Attack, but, if I'm being honest, I don't expect that to be very hard. There's also beating 128 missions, and that could take some time, but seems doable. 

 

And with that, here's the list:

I'm really looking forward to this but will wait for a localized release and just pray it doesn't get censored.

Update.

[Nightowljrm]

Got the platinum! If any English-only speakers like myself decide to import the game and need some help, I'd be happy to assist. 

[Drag-On-Detritus]

I got this done earlier on in the week. Pretty cruisy platinum of about 10 hours with nothing that's any challenge as long as you upgrade your jetski. I found it a bit infuriating having to exit out of the story mode & go back through the menus to customise each time. The loading times weren't long but they added up. It felt a lot like a Vita game though so maybe those loading times between menus are just there to keep that vibe. ?

 

For the earlier stories it was fine to do 2-3 races at a time before going back to upgrade but for the last story races it's necessary to upgrade after every race otherwise they aren't really possible to win. To get points to upgrade you've got to play one of the mini games. Once you've cleared a mini game you can choose a higher difficulty version of it (that's what the green icon at the top of the mini game menu is for). The hard difficulty version yields tons of points & it's no issue getting that 800k points gold trophy with the rhythm or racing mini games. Probably takes about 10-20 plays on hard for the points you need for all the upgrades but you don't need them all for the trophies (I got them all anyway).

 

TLDR: Don't waste your time grinding points in the easy or normal versions of the mini games. Unlock hard right away & get your points fast. 

 

If you have done the tutorial separately & before starting the story the game doesn't care & will try to get you to do it again before the first race. If you do it this way: after choosing to skip the story scene you're then given the choice to play the tutorial. Make sure you pick the right option to skip the tutorial! Don't mash buttons because you'll end up in the tutorial. The feeling of absolute dread I had when this happened to me is still fresh in my mind, as is the elation felt when I realised it was just a button mashing accident. 

 

The 128 missions popped for me towards the end of the game. I never made any attempt to translate them & just did a bit of everything each race. Most of the time I'd get 2-3 stars, sometimes just one but never none.

 

All in all it's a pretty enjoyable game of a reasonable length, a natural trophy set with no guide needed, not all that grindy & very import friendly. I suspect there'll be an English version in the future & maybe some stacks as well but if you're someone who's interested in the game and wants to play it sooner rather than later I'd say go for it.

Hi!

For the 128 races, i guess i have to do them in time attack mode?

In specific difficulty?

No, you have to complete certain missions in the story mode races. The game will give you three objectives per race, one of them is always winning the race. The other two vary each time, ranging from stuff like reaching a certain speed, hitting every opponent with a weapon or using a certain amount of items. Story mode consists of 64 races, so there's a total of 192 objectives, and by winning each race you automatically complete 64 of them.

 

Let me show you an example:

See the three lines with stars next to them? These are the missions you have to keep an eye on. In this example you have to win the race, reach 120 km/h and don't use any items (You can still use your base water gun with circle though).

 

There are only 12 different objectives (the numbers vary throughout the game), here are their translations:
