Question about achievements

[ToastMunchie]

First of all, the game looks great. Was looking for a new life sim and this popped up at the perfect time. A few questions though, as an achievement hunter.

Will there be any missable achievements? As in, achievements that if you miss getting, you would have to make a whole new save to get?

How long do you think it would take to 100% the game? I know it is a hard question to answer given the game isn't out yet, but a vague ballpark would be nice.

Hey, thanks for checking out the game :)

There are no missable achievements - you can get all achievements in a single save file/game if you play long enough with 1 exception. To get 100% achievements, you need to get the Challenge Accepted achievement which involves defeating the last boss on Hard mode. To play Hard mode, you need to defeat the game once on normal mode.
So to get this achievement, it requires you play through a second time on hard mode.

I'm going throw a ballpark figure at you, but it's more like a random guess - maybe 100 to 150 hours? Since at minimum you need 2 runs. And the most time consuming would be completing all museum collections which I have no idea how long this might take as some things are really rare. Please take this number with a grain of salt!

Hmm interesting. Didn't expect a farming sim to have difficulty modes but I guess it isn't a major turn off. Looking forward to its release, thanks for the answers!

hello, thanks for the reply. will hard mode still unlock if you play through on easy mode? or from normal mode only?

actually nevermind! i found the answer in discord.
"There will be an achievement for completing the game (on easy or normal, so switching has no effect on this), but hard mode is only unlocked if you beat the game on normal (without switching). There is a separate achievement for beating the game in hard mode. I think that way, players who don’t like combat at least have the same chance to get the “complete the game” achievement."

Hey, I just checked the code for this. Hard mode WILL unlock regardless of if you beat the last boss on normal OR easy difficulty. (so ignore that discord post, I must have changed this at some point).

However, if you are used to playing on easy difficulty, I do not like your chances on HARD. It's not impossible, but you will need to farm up for a while before even attempting the dungeons.

Why on earth would you do that? That makes it impossible for older people and players with impairments and/or slow reflexes to ever 100% the game. Seems incredibly unfair and in-group biased.

It sounds like this is your first experience with a game.

If you want something you can fully complete without developing any kind of skill, might I recommend books?

Don't be rude. This is a farming life sim game, not Elden Ring. Mechanical skill is almost never a factor in these games, and I've quite literally never heard of difficulty modes in one. Not to mention accessibility options are quite common now so that everyone can enjoy the game to its fullest.
