Simple to 100% ach?

[TheQuestion]

Is getting all achievements easy? or is there a bunch of specific missables, timed events, hidden things that might also be missable etc etc basically you need a guide

or could you youst play through however you want then finish up everything at the end?

[Kerobe]

You can complete the achievements only after beating the final boss since you unlock an extra dungeon. But playing in NG+ is recommended cause it gives you some "buff" (exp for exemple) and make the 100% easier.
It's not hard, but need time / grind / farm and there is 1 missable (if i'm correct)

So yes, you can just play through the story as you want but you may want to take a look for the missable (beware spoilers), if you don't want to NG+

[TheQuestion]

Doesn't sound to bad, grinding is obvious, a time sink I don't mind.

I wonder about that missable or others.. don't wnat to spoil myself reading accidentally but.. mm Good that ng+ is an optuion though.

Does the difficulty scale up a bunch?

[Sup3rNo7a]

The missable achievement is just seeing all of the Mystic Artes in the game, and it's only missable because you have to make sure any Boss enemy that has them uses them when you fight them (if they don't you can just reload a save and try again, or try again on NG+ like I'm going to have to). All of the other Mystic Artes besides those are your own party's, and you can do them at your leisure.

The difficulty does scale, with the most noticable effect being that healing spells become almost worthless on Choas difficulty (the hardests), in that their effectiveness is reduced to 20% of what they would be on Normal (-20% to healing with each difficulty above Normal, basically). There are no difficulty-related achievements, though, so it doesn't matter what difficulty you want to play on.

[TheQuestion]

If you can pause battles or at least get some "time to save" before every boss it shouldn't be a problem.

Do you think i need the increased drop rate of higher difficulties? otherwise lower diff would be better for more exp, there doesn't seem to be any difficulty achievement strangely.
