Stuck with VR mission (Integral)(99% Progression)

[PrimeDarkseid | TTV]

So basically i went all night after the achievement "Practice Makes Perfect". Which require to complete all VR missions.

However i did everything and 'Ninja" in the Special section didn't unlock. Which prevent to get the achievement. I also want to note that i finished the whole game on OG MGS1 version (For easier Big Boss with JP difficulty)

Any Idea how to fix it?

Did you say you're playing the Integral version? If you are, you have to get Big Boss rank in the main game first before the Ninja section unlocks (if i remember correctly)

I can guess what happen next: You'll be mad and blame Konami but it's hideo kojima who made it this way, personnaly I got the achievement in the special mission disc meaning I didn't have to get a specific title to unlock ninja, and I got the achievement.

Special mission is in PAL I believe, VR mission disc is NTSC IIRC.

That's a thing? I don't remember this being a thing. Because i played those mission on the PC version and i never did Big Boss rank there.

Yeah, the integral version was primarily a japanese version that only got distributed as an international version afterwards, and so the requirements for certain unlocks are still set at "japanese difficulty"
Seems like you gotta go for that Big Boss rank acheevo before you can cross off the final VR missions. They mention it in this reddit thread:

Other people have talked about the same thing here in the discussions forum here, see if you can find some more info from them

You don't necessarily need to get big boss rank, from what I remember you must complete the game with the highest rank on the selected difficulty. E.g. you can pick Easy mode and acquire 'Hound' rank or normal and acquire 'Doberman' rank to get the ninja VR missions.

This might be an unrelated note, but I am assuming you are only playing the Special Missions (EU version) and Integral to earn "Practice Makes Perfect". If you have already completed VR Missions (US version), here is a note that should help:

As of the version 1.3 update, this achievement should now unlock within the regular VR (US) missions game. Both new and existing saves should unlock the achievement once you hit 100%. This unlocked for me immediately when I loaded my existing 100% completion save.
