10.000 enemies killed - Question

[ramonpontes]

I want to know if this number of kills must be obtained in a single playthrough, or if it sum up all the kill in different playthroughs.

[Faint]

theres no newgame plus in most FF games, this one included. 10,000 really isn't that many enemies anyway if you level your characters evenly. You can do it throuout a single game easy

How does this happen on a single playthrough easily? I leveled every character solo from its starting level to 100 and broke 1200 kills. Are you speaking from experience? If so, what method did you use?

[ramonpontes]

Well, I've played this game a long time ago, on console, and I don't have a clue about how many kills I had, but I'm sure I was very far from 10k.

If I could accumulate kills from various playthroughs, I eventually could get this achievement, because sometimes I like to replay old games.

But if this must be done in a single playthrough, I'm not sure, I'm going to pursue this achievement.

1) beat the game
2) load your save file up from where your characters are on the Island closest to hell and max level.
3) Grind for 5 minutes
4) save THAT game
5) repeat until you get achievement

Eat an elephant 1 spoonful at a time. ;)

[ramonpontes]

just for reference, how many kills (average) do you get in 5 minutes there?

[Aro]

Eat an elephant one spoonful at a time...good advice. I'll have to remember that one.

I'm currently up to 4601/10000 kills :D
When I finished my normal playthrough (before I started 10k grinding) I was around 2000+ kills

How can I track the number of enemies I have killed? I know that I can obtain a battle metter late in the game, but I don't remember if it display this information.

One of the things you can get tells you how many kills each party member has earned.

Battle Meter > Character Report > GF Report. I think it's something like that.

When grinding for 10k. Right now today it took me 40 minutes to kill 200 enemies. Just do that everyday and this achievement is a breeze.

[ramonpontes]

Sorry to ressurrect an old thread, but I have a further question to ask about this achievement.

When I got the last upgrade for the battle metter, I coud see the number of kills of each character and for each GF.

Before I reached the 1.000 Kills achievement, I could compare the sum of the above numbers and the number registered on the progress of this achievement. They were the same, meaning that the achievement register only the savegame with the highest number of kills. I assume this is true for the 10.000 Kills achievement too.

What I want to know is: The number of kills from the GF Odin counts toward this achievement?

This GF does not apperar on the battle metter, and I can't find out this anymore, because I reached the 1.000 kills achievement already, and the 10.000 kill don't show it's progress.

If anyone have this information, please let me know. And if anyone knows how to prevent Odin from appearing (or at lesast reduce the chances), let me know too.

From what I've read, Odin's kills count towards the kill counter of whatever character is in the first slot when he appears so it should count towards the achievement if it uses kills on the battle meter.

[ramonpontes]

Thanks for the information. I could test it right away, and I can confirm that the kill goes to the character on the first slot.

I don't need to be worried about Odin stealing my kills anymore.

I think im around 5600 kills right now.
