About unlocking achievements with Demo save

[KnightGoblin8]

I have seen people report that transfering Demo save doesn't unlock achievements.

I also found this from the news items:

"All achievement progress from the Prologue Demo will also carry over to the full game if you decides to carry over your demo save data. Achievements are not unlocked immediately when loading save data from the demo, the conditions need to be achieved once more into the full game to get unlocked. For example, one of the achievements is "No Mercy". If you finished 50+ battles with no damage in the demo, then the next time you achieve a no-damage battle in the full product, this achievement will get unlocked."

So what does that even mean? If "all achievement progress will carry over" why do you need to achieve the condition again in the full game in order to get the achievements? If any of the achievements relate to events in the game that would mean that one would still need to start a new game in order to unlock these achievements?

Hard to feel that this wouldn't be a bug but based on the news item it is actually not which is a bit odd.

I read that I apparently already bypassed one story achievement unlock in the demo so will it unlock when I encounter next story achievement? Or should I wait for a patch?

clearing the first dungeon retroactively unlocked prior achievements for me.

some are still bugged for me. e.g. buying an item on discount, using synthesis, getting a follower

and it is bugged so that I can not even get those achievments in my current save it seems, because I've done those things many times in the full version

Primarily because the Steam client needs a trigger condition in order to unlock the achievement. So anything you achieved during the demo will unlock the next time it's trigger is checked. So conditionals like finishing 50+ battles with no damage taken unlock the next time you finish a battle with no damage taken, story achievements will unlock next time you get a story achievement etc.

no it doesnt, buying an item on discount doesnt trigger it for me, getting a new follower doesnt trigger it for me, using a synth skill doesnt trigger.... SOME trigger, others are completely bugged
