Error2k4 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 06, 2009, 12:59:47 AM »

in-game achievements you gain while doing certain stuff in battles.

Here's a general idea of Star Ocean 3's

those are easier than they look, though.

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

I'll buy this in 2010 when everything is figured out

Funny that Kawazu would make the best RPG and achievements so far, yet he makes such awful games.

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.

Does anyone else not play for achievements? I can't stand having to grind a game for fake points. Which is weird because I am OBSESSED with my Kongregate score

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.

I can understand two or three hidden achievements but twenty-five is is pretty dumb.
*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
