Timber Maniacs achievement?
So is there any way to get this achievement?

I checked the terminal in the class room. I have Timber Maniacs issues 2-5, Extra Entry and 7-12.

Anyhow, I have certainly picked up numbers 1 and 6 (The first issue is in Balamb, the train station or the hotel, and the 6th issue is in the Trabia Garden graveyard). They just won't show up in Sir Laguna's Page.

Does it matter for this achievement which TM you pick up in Balamb to get it?

Would hate to restart the whole game just to get all the TM:s and realize I still won't get the achievement.

I know that I just got this achievement, so it is in fact working.

If you have a save game from shortly before the last TM, you could use the Hyne save editor to add the missing ones, and then pick up the last one to trigger the achievement.

I didn't have to edit anything to get the achievement, though.

This one was a bit of a bummer to get. I missed a few, including the one on the white seed ship so had to load an old save to complete this.

I would certainly advise checking a guide and instead of "remembering" which ones you have collected, visit every spot to double check.

The achievement finally popped for me when i picked up the one in Shumi Village.

Yeah, that's the problem, I followed a guide which tells all the locations already.

I checked out that Hyne - editor, it shows that I have the one from the Balamb hotel, not the station.
Apparently Laguna's Page shows the text only for the magazine from the train station.

Still don't know why that cemetary one is missing, it's impossible to miss since you have to go to the cemetary to get Selphie to move to the basketball court.

Thanks for the editor tip, maybe I'll just go with that and try to get it that way.

...And that was fast, didn't even have to load a save before the White Seed ship, just added all the magazines to my second latest save and loaded the game.

Thanks!

You aren't actually able to get both the balamb hotel and station ones in-game. Only one OR the other. Sounds like it was just the cemetary one you were missing. Glad it all worked out in the end, though.

Yeah, by cheating! x_x

This is really a pain. I had the same problem, except that upon using Hyde, I ACTUALLY had all magazines. I reloaded an old save to get the one from the White Seed again (and tried 3 times) but still, achievement didn't pop. I REMOVED the one from Balamb using Hyde, reloaded, picked up again and THEN it popped...

Broken achievements should be removed... honestly...
