orthmann Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Just got the plat, voted 2. The trophies for the game are very easy, most of them you will get not even trying... For example I got both Chain Beginner and Master before even knowing what I need to do to get a Chain. Chemistries and combos are also simple, even if you have trouble with combos after getting the time speed ability you can get far higher than 20 combo just smashing and ignoring the enemy. The game gives lots of visual aids for the main quest and for the subquest making very easy to do them, knowing where to go, where is the enemy located or the person of interest, etc... After finishing the game for the first time it enables the Ex New Game and even tells you what you have to do to get the special ending. The love meter and money also aren't any problem, got them before the half of the game and again not even doing anything different them playing the game normally. The visual aids also help where you can get the conversation points and memory points, which some of them have the images for the gallery. The only trophy that could bring problem is お弁当食べマスター where you need to receive each of the 12 obentos from Toki and Towa and they are random. But you don't need to get all of them in one playthrough, as long you got and save the system data the game will know. Time spent: ~40 hours Edited November 5, 2012 by orthmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzokuu Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm not sure I clearly understand how to consciously do chains and chemistry (although I've unlocked both trophies for doing them once). Can you clarify that for me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orthmann Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm not sure I clearly understand how to consciously do chains and chemistry (although I've unlocked both trophies for doing them once). Can you clarify that for me? Thanks Chain is the same as combos but with magic instead, if you throw another magic at the enemy while he is still flashing from the last magic attack you gave it's a chain. Drake's flame ball also works for the chain, but the time spam after his attacks is very very small. Chemistry is when you chain two specific elemental magics in sequence, which will then happen a "chemistry" that inflicts a status on the enemy. Here are the 4 chemistries you can do (must be in that order) Earth->Fire : lava attack that will inflict on the enemy from time to time (it's the only status that will persists to the others enemies in the match) Fire->Lightning : debuf decrease physical and magical defenses Lightning->Ice : silence Ice->Earth : sleep Drake's flame ball also works for chemistries, but he loves throwing that when you want to do another chemistry From those 4 chemistries only Ice->Earth will be possible late in the game where Toki and/or Towa have magics for all elements, but their cast time for the spells they are not familiar are longer and you will need to freeze time or speed the timer to be possible to do that. For chemistry master you need to do those 4 chemistries, don't need to be done in the same fight. And chain master you probably will get without trying with Drake's flame ball + your magic attacks, even if it's troubling you both Toki and Towa will learn a powerful attack later in the game what alone causes a 10 chain.

Shinzokuu Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thanks for the reply I actually figured out chemistry yesterday but since the trophy didn't pop I thought you had to do 4 in one battle. Good to know that the freeze time will work with the earth spell since the timer is so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifearmor Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 When you get Dragon Master gift, this gives you a 10SP skill which commands Drake to follow up your elemental magic with elemental breath that gives a chemistry effect. In the action skill list it's the second from the bottom. So begin the battle, use 10SP skill I talked about and Drake parks himself next to the girl. Throw Lightning spell with Toki, and Drake follows up with ice breath, thus Silencing your enemy. Once I knew this, it was very easy to defeat final CH3 boss and all CH4 bosses with lv25 Toki and Towa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orthmann Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wow, nice... that certainly helps a lot. I didn't delved too much into the skills you get from the Master Dragon Gift. Chemistries do help a lot against the bosses when you are under-leveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenshiNoHane Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Voted for 3/10, need a 2nd play through for the true ending and the platium time is about 50 hrs. EDIT: DLC items are useless, I so regret to buy the love snacks >< Edited December 9, 2012 by TenshiNoHane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celestial Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Finally finished this game. 4/10 from me. Took me around 40 hours (32 hours for 1st play and 8 hours for 2nd play). 2nd play on Normal was hard even with equipping best armor available in the shop. The hardest part was the boss on Chapter 3 since she started with deadly magic which will reduce around 4000 HP -_- I could prevent last boss from using deadly magic with Time Freeze, but since it wasn't available until the end of Chapter 3 and I was underleveled, I got hard time with her. Too lazy to level up again lol. Btw, I bought Ai no Omomi Pack before the last battle since I messed up with the love balance xD Only 100 Yen on JP Store and it really saved my time for getting Platinum. http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/aoki_tsurugi.png Edited December 30, 2012 by celestial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoju Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Voted it a 2. A little bit of grinding, but relatively light compared to other games. Also it goes by quicker. Very few missable trophies, and those that are missable are hardly missable if you remembered your chosen options (or followed the guide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer023 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Voted a 2. There's nothing at all hard, just some light grinding and reloading. Took ~23 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPenguin Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Voted 2, very easy Platinum to achieve. A little time consuming, though that doesn't affect difficulty. Very little missable trophies and the guide(s) are well put together, so you shouldn't have any problem with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever0taku Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 voted 2 this game is easy to plat because the use of chemistry and the game spoon feed you. Side quest is the 1 that time consuming without the need of doing side quest it will be the more faster to plat. 2nd playthrough only take me 7-8 hours to complete.

Kakyochan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ah 3/10 only because i died a couple of times during my ng+ (normal) run because of beeing underleveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Most definitely a 2/10. The game is really just all about collectibles, everything aside from that unlocked naturally for me. The Meals (I prefer referring to them as Bento) just took a small bit of time reloading, and wasn't frustrating for me as it might be for others. The game itself however is extremely easy due to Chemistry. I went up the Level 50 final boss at Level 15, so as you can tell Chemistry really dumbs down the game's difficulty (not that I mind, it's nice to have a non-grindy J-RPG for once). New Game+, if you were to do it in one sitting, would only take about an afternoon of your time. Balancing the Affection Meter is rather easy, too. Everything about this is just best described as easy. Anyway, absolutely loved this game, I literally cannot fault it personally. Certainly lived up to my high expectations. I plan to import the Japanese version simply to enjoy the game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieOnFire Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Anyway, absolutely loved this game, I literally cannot fault it personally. Certainly lived up to my high expectations. I plan to import the Japanese version simply to enjoy the game again. You...are one of the rare ones I've seen people who thought the game was decent, but I have yet to see anyone love it as much as you do. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Anyway, I realized that I have yet to write down my two cents. So 2/10, like I said in my guide. Even if one has trouble grasping the Chemistry concept, being able to retry battles over and over without penalty makes the game a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You...are one of the rare ones I've seen people who thought the game was decent, but I have yet to see anyone love it as much as you do. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Well I'm not really one to judge since I was anticipating the game ever since it was announced first, so I guess my excitement washed away anything I could have potentially found bad in the game. That, and I'm very easy-to-please when it comes to games, and find it hard to fault games which are often seen to have bad controls, voice-acting or gameplay.

Arturia Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Gotta give it a 2. Just like Furuba mention, everything is fairly easy and straightforward and pointed out making it a easy plat but fun nonetheless I gotta be the 2nd rare one since I loved the game just as much as well, it was really enjoyable especially with Towa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloydo Sama Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) voted 3 ^_^ it's an easy plat i didn't need a guide or anything , the first time i finished the game i got everything except the bento master ! i got every meal except two of them and the strange thing for me is that when i got the ones i missed the trophy popped without getting all of them in one run !! , and everything else is EASY really there is nothing hard ,, i heard people talk about the bento trophy as pain in the ass but it's not really , just play normally not rushing things and finish the sub quests and u will get everything .. the final boss attacks give me a Zero damage lol and even in the speed run with the Chemistry really no boss can touch u at all with the silence and the other effects ,, and don't worry about the Love balance u feel like the game wants u to balance it XD ,, one of my easiest if Not the easiest plat till now ,, and sure thing easy but enjoyable and it's fun to get them all , not like the last of us which is classic trophies . about the game .. i was waiting for it since the first trailer really ! and finally play it it's good and awesome voice actors - i mean the jap of course - .. but it's not that deep story or a big and memorable RPG like Ni No Kuni or the amazing game that we will all play soon and i can't wait .. Tales of Xillia <3 .. so it's a warming up for me ,, but it deserve to be played i enjoy my time with it ,, i am an old rpg fan so when i play any game i want i get everything and love to talk to everyone and such and this game lack many things .. and i can't believe it's the same team that make Arc Rise Fantasia a game i reallly love deep story and awesome battle system and i big world and anything i except from an RPG ,, but i think the members of the team changed . sorry for the long comment XD hope everyone enjoy the game and get this plat <3 Edited July 20, 2013 by Lloydo Sama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaSD Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Time to platinum: 27 hours Difficulty: 2 Very simple game to platinum, don't even need a walkthrough. The trophies are all pretty straight forward, not much grinding needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archavia Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 2.5, or 2 on the poll. Nothing much to it really, just knowledge of Chemistry and Time Freeze/Time Surge for some bosses, particularly on the second playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrious Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Gave it a 3/10. Everything is incredibly easy with the time spells, especially the bosses. My speed run was like literally 2 hours with the monster repel items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlei2009 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I gave Time & Eternity 2/10 A fairly easy game, which I enjoyed spending my time playing. Nothing hard except going through the second playthrough and it was a matter of getting your chemistry attacks landing on the enemies. I ignored using chemistry at first and when I kept getting pulverised by the boss battles, I found out that chemistry was pretty useful. An enjoyable game where I wouldn't mind starting up a new game save just for the fun of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
