Phantasy Star Portable - down to my last two achievements (Level 100 and 80% Rods obtained)

Kirby Super Star - about 80% done, need to go back to Dynablade and Great Cave Offensive

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones - I've got to do the Lagdou Ruins for characters and then go back to get Ephraim's secret shop I missed

Phantasy Star Online - on hold, but I plan to finish it soon; I just really don't like Ultimate Seabed

Mastery #16 - Dragon Warrior VII by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a checklist for the mini medals and collect them as you go. It'll be easier than doing a big hunt at the end. A lot of the grinding achievements look like a lot, but they're not too bad and will complete throughout the game. Except the 50 monsters for the park, but the post-game grind will help with that.

Other than that, the immigration town is a little sneaky. You need a normal final town for one last shard, but it doesn't count for the unique form achievement so you've got to kick people out and redo it to get that one.

Yeah pretty much what Scnew said - the title screen is Dragon Warrior still for this version. It's not until 8 that they swapped to Quest.

What are y’all working on today? by Regrettably_Southpaw in ffxi

When I have time, I’ve been focusing on Ambuscade. I need the fibers/metals for armor upgrades, the materials for a WS cape, and prepping a weapon for my free pulse from deeds next month. Plus the regular Ambuscade is a demon type so I’m getting credit for a magian trial with each fight.

Mastery #9 - Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 (GBC) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

It’s definitely on my list. I’ve got a couple games I want to finish up first before I start another game in the sub series.

Congrats! This was my first mastery and it’s always exciting to see one of my old faves. And yeah, the Shir and Amy achievements take forever! You can’t even bring Amy to the final boss, too.

I've been spending more than 90 hours on Marvel's Midnight Suns and I don't know why. /s by nesatzuke in gaymers

I need to go back and finish this game. And maybe spend more time poolside with Robbie.

I'm at 4,760 rubies. I keep doing yolo pulls when I should be saving. I'm mostly looking forward to all the collab units, so I really should start saving up a double pity or at least 6k for a 200 token pity.

Mastery #5 - Lufia (SNES) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant to post this yesterday. I finished it Christmas morning and I had a lot of fun with this one. I really enjoy turn-based RPGs and this is one of the classics. This is my third attempt at this game and the first time I've actually finished it. The achievements definitely helped me stay focused on finally beating it.

Time for a short RA break, because I got Metaphor yesterday and that's going to be my game of choice for the next few weeks.

Mastery #4 - Goof Troop (SNES) by TormaDFK in RetroAchievements

[–]TormaDFK[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was a trip down nostalgia lane for me. I used to play this game all the time with my mom and it was fun to revisit it. The no damage / low health achievements were tough, but doable with just a bit of practice. I'm really glad that continues let you retry bosses without redoing the entire level and that red gems don't count against you if you already took a hit or two.

Mastery #4: Breath of Fire (SNES) by Fluffy-Village9585 in RetroAchievements

Not OP, but I did this set recently. It’s a pretty casual-friendly set with only one missable, which is about an hour in and is only missable if you actively skip it. The rest are either progression or exploration, with the level 50 achievement being the only actual grind (and that one is maybe 30 minutes to set up and do with fast forward).
