Post by: Error2k4 on February 06, 2009, 01:03:05 AM: those are easier than they look, though.

Battle Trophies are now character specific, instead of applying to all characters like in SO3.

Post by: Error2k4 on February 06, 2009, 01:16:42 AM: The game keeps a log of all the items you've created, all the monsters you've fought, all quests you have cleared. So at least that should help when trying to get those.

Also I believe, you can see the Battle Trophies directly on the main menu... instead of having to go to the title screen to see them, like in SO3.

The only really scary ones, I think, it's the Items set of achievements.

So far I've only really concentrated on games that I REALLY ENJOY playing when trying to max out achievements. For instance, in Fallout 3 I only have to get all of the bobbleheads to mas out, but in Lost Odyssey and Bioshock I'm right at the end of each game and don't give a shit about getting all of the achievements.

*stumble your ass through the game and trigger a conversation with a random NPC 45G
*beat a hidden mega boss that requires a half hour battle. 5G

fun times
