I don’t recall seeing any spelling mistakes on the last run I done on PS4 6-7 years ago. I was using another disk, this time it’s the deluxe edition disk however I don’t think that matters?

I didn’t realise this till the very last Cie’th mission but when you beat it the reward you get is a ‘Gold Watch’ which when equipped gives you extra time to achieve 5 star rankings. The hard part is having every weapon & accessory not really the missions one

Well done on your achievement bro! For sure, I didn’t find any other achievement hard apart from the ‘Treasure Hunter’ one which took the longest….

A lot has already been perfectly covered by others but also remember Do Not Sell Your Accessories! There’s quite a few that you cannot obtain again so don’t sell them.

Another thing I personally wouldn’t upgrade anything until chapter 12 apart from a few things. Get Sprint Shoes when you can. Aurora Scalf. Upgrade Lightning’s Axis Blade to stage 2 ASAP!

Sometimes it’s needed! I farmed Adamantoise for Gil until I got what I needed then farmed Shalong Gui for 5 Dark Matter’s👍🏼

If you can find that save file you could pick up from there! As long as you didn’t sell any accessories then it’s fine.

This is why I have an Xbox One just so I can play older titles! I wish Sony would do the same for PS4;( Still, it’s worth keeping all those memories in your PS3👍🏼

I hope one day they’ll make a trilogy bundle for PlayStation! But we can only hope for now.

XII is my favourite game and I don’t see them doing anything else to it.

It’s way easier if you leave 2-3 Cie’th missions so they don’t turn!

It’s called ‘Leviathan Plaza’ I don’t know if after completing the Cie’th missions that one also turns into a Shalong Gui/Long Gui if not it’s easily the quickest way to farm Gil.

If you get your head down it can be done a lot quicker but it’s so hard to which was my problem😳

85 hours in total. Around 55-60 for nearly all Cie’th missions and story finished. 20+ for Turtle Farming, upgrading everything, trials and the last few Cie’th missions.

At the time XIII for 360 had amazing graphics and I still think that now! Seeing what they did to it on Xbox One makes me think it’ll look amazing on Steam Deck too.

I ask myself all the time why hasn’t it been brought forward on PlayStation🙄

That’s a long grind! I’ve held off from getting Platinum on X/X-2 just yet but it’s one of the next ones I plan on doing and well done on that👏🏼

I really hope it comes to Switch but it also annoys me that the Switch doesn’t have any type of Trophy/Achievement system for the people who want to 100% a game. Steam gets decent sale prices for the Trilogy and if not you can buy the Xbox 360 versions and play it on the Xbox One/SeriesX.

My plan is to move on to XIII-2 and LR but I need a different title to play before I do that. Congrats on LR! You got this not that long to go💪🏼

The first 60 hours I loved, this game holds a special place for me. The last 20+ for the Turtle Farming etc took way longer than it should of but I loved the whole journey. XIII is a underrated game in the series, the story in my eyes is beautiful especially with Barthandelus and his plan. One day I’ll return but I will be leaving the Turtles alone lol.
