About True Ending...

[ZaF]

Hmm is it possible to get True Ending by playing first time playthrough? Cuz right now I'm doing grinding affinity for each character (so far Kureha, my AI, Zeliska) that needs to unlock True Ending..
Is it worth what I'm doing right now on game? I just dont want waste my time like that... ._.

[『.スレンダー』]

Yes you can get the true ending on your first playthrough. But I'd strongly recomend playing through the first 3 DLCs before completing the main story since they are set before the true ending and the expansion pack is set after it.

Ohh so that's possible huh? Even without playing on NG+?
But what if I already can go inside SBC Flugel (first time)? Cuz my main mission telling that now is to defeat Bazalt Joe once again and he said he will give me something valuable to him.
And he doesn't even in my friend list..

Reaching the Flugel isn't the end of the story. There's still the dungeon, more story content around that point, another dungeon and so forth. You also need to complete Kirito Mode, as well as make sure the actual final boss of the storyline doesn't get off an extremely telegraphed attack.

Now how do I get Kirito Mode? I heard ya need at least Level 2 Affinity on Kirito, Asuna, Sinon, Strea, Premiere, Rain, Philia (so far Kirito and Asuna's done)
But it still possible to unlocked True Ending on first playthrough right?

Kirito Mode unlocks in the plot automatically. As the others said, it is possible, but the conditions are vague - you will need level 4 affinity for Kureha, Itsuki, Zeliska and maybe Bazalt Joe, and all of their affinity scenes. Not sure about level 4 for anyone else, but I did it anyway personally for the ones you listed.

Hmmm so many things to do for True Ending..

So I already (Level 4) 100% affinity on My AI, Kureha, & Zeliska (only Itsuki & Bazalt Joe left)

For Kirito Mode, I already Level 4 affinity for Kirito, Asuna (only Sinon, Primeire, Strea, Rain, & Philia left)

Hmm do I left anything? Am I missing something? :/

True Ending :
Fatal Bullet Character Affinity : rank 4 75% + Finished all date event with them
Sword Art Online Character Affinity : rank 2 + Finished all friendship event
SAO Game Character Affinity : rank 2 + Finished all friendship event
Sub Quest : Finished Asuna, Agil and Lisbeth Sub Quest
Obtain Itsuki's Gun (an event before you could Date Itsuki)
Finished Kirito Mode (without it also works after several update)
Obtain Arfa-Sys Charm from your Arfa-Sys

if you had all the requirement above then the final battle title would chenged from "The Clincher" into "Fatal Bullet"

Kill the Bosses
to put it simply you could gunned down the bosses with brute strength or by destroying the parts, when the bosses started it's unique attack a.k.a "The Ball of Darkness" you had to aim directly to its mouth and gunned it until the parts destroyed, after that the bosses fate is in your hand

Is there a "Point of No Return" where i can go back & get Affinity or do Sub-Quests & Kirito Mode (i read that Kirito Mode can become locked if u don't play & finish it straight away) before i'm locked-out of the True Ending?

Don't beat the story boss of the SBC Flugel. If you do that, the affinity factors for certain characters and the ability to get the ArFA-sys Charm is locked after completing Flugel and won't be unlocked until a rewind back to before the Flugel's boss after getting a bad ending.

About this, can you list the characters I need? It's not like I have to make their (all) affinity Rank to at least Rank 2 right?

And... Yo Raikoh, or anyone.. I just got Gold Sub Event from Sinon after I've reached her affinity Rank 4, what's that supposed to mean?

[Hellstorm901]

Extremely possible as the game gives you a save prior to going into the last dungeon if I recall, this allows you to get all three endings (Two are really the same with some flavour text)

The only thing you do need to do a second playthrough for is Lisbeths gunsmith level. As she gets a new level at certain points in the game but only if you are in Extreme mode (You only need to be in Ex mode at the exact points when she gets them so you can game the system by playing in normal then swapping to Ex mode to kill the boss or do the dungeon which triggers the upgrade)
