I would give it a 6/10. Most of the trophies are pretty easy to get through your second playthrough as you can increase your damage/critical rate through the grade shop. Mostly, this game requires a ton of grinding, the most I've done in a game yet.

The Gentlemen trophy is probably the most annoying one out of them all..

I gave it a 5. Although there are some time consuming aspects and "getting used to" for the trophies, if you plan it out properly, you can plat in two playthroughs. There are two super annoying trophy related to full completion of quests and viewing all of the mini-skits, which doesn't carry over the playthroughs.

i give 8
Gentlemen Defeated is so annoying and time consuming
200+ battle for 1 Tier 4 Nature
and especially like me who did not understand japanese

[Lethal-Hjorth]

Not harder than Vesperia, but defo more time consuming. I gave it a 6, if you take time into a factor then it's probably a 8.

I gave it a 3. The main game was easy enough that I was able to do all normal battles on Hard or higher already, so the difficulty there is null. If you're dedicated about dualizing (running down the list and making new items every time you get new ingredients), then requests will pretty much all be there. Fill in missing items with the Arles pot and you should be fine minus minor grinding. If you're serious about it, then using the +piece drop book as soon as you get it make the final requests cake. I didn't bother equipping it until the end and I only had to farm for ~7 pieces, all of which dropped in under 10 minutes each. Grinding the Arles pot was cake too, just tedious. I had 9100 energy once I finished all other trophies, so getting to 9500 was 20-25 minutes of work and done. The Zoon Cage can be zoomed through at low level on simple difficulty, and Rock Gagan I was able to beat fairly easily. Getting titles was easy too, just switch your main char and spam special moves. I did absolutely no farming for titles and got every title trophy on my first playthrough.

Overall, nothing fancy here. Just be sure you use a good walkthrough to get the missable quests, though I don't think they benefit you at all aside from extra grade in NG+.

6 out of 10. Not difficult, but incredibly time consuming. Took over 250 hours and 5+ playthroughs. Most time will be spent on maxing the energy for the Arles Pot, which takes 5-10 hours easily. The other horrid trophy is the Gentleman fight. After 4 or so playthroughs collecting fragments and dualize knowledge, this still took a bit of grinding and 27 hours total for this one trophy. Follow the roadmap guidelines for all trophies for the easiest and least amount of time to spend on this platinum.

6.
The control is messing me up though. 2 run through to get plat is not impossible, just keep in mind replace character from time to time so faster to earn 100 title for each.

[Mystearical]

Haven't played it yet... but seems not to bad... can you get all trophies in one run?

[BogiGreenskin]

No, that won't be possible. Some of the trophies involve beating bosses in under a minute which will not be possible without the damage multipliers and the like from the Grade Shop.
