Against Bosses: Diamond Dust –> Upheaval –> Scarlet Cyclone –> Dancing Steel –> press to switch to Odin Blade to stagger enemy –> when staggered: unleash Lvl 5 Zanetsuken > + Limit Break > Gigaflare > Dancing Steel –> Zanetsuken Lvl 5 again –> Rising Flames –> Scarlet Cyclone –> Diamond Dust –> Upheaval –> repeat.

Keep all other abilities charged for single high-health enemies. Then attack with Odin’s Blade (press with Odin Eikon) to bring it to Level 5. You can quickly charge it to Level 3-4 by using Dancing Steel. This will instant-kill all weak enemies in one hit.

Against Groups: use Odin’s Zanetsuken Level 5.

Odin: Dancing Steel + Gigaflare (can slot it to Odin after fully upgrading it).

Titan: Diamond Dust (can slot it to Titan after fully upgrading it) + Upheaval.

Phoenix: Rising Flames + Scarlet Cyclone.

Craft better gear as soon as it becomes available. Watch out for a yellow marker on the blacksmith between main quests, this indicates he has something new.

You can craft even stronger weapons/armor in New Game+.

Before starting New Game+ make sure you crafted Gotterdammerung, this way you have it from the start.

Any third accessory of your choice – good options are Genji Gloves (+5% damage), Ring of Timely Assistance (Torgal Autoassist), The Wages of Warcraft (+20% AP) to reduce AP grind at the end.

This ensures you stay sufficiently leveled.

On Fortune and the Heavens (+15% XP) – can be upgraded to “On Fortune and Heavens II” (+30% EXP) by combining 2 of the same rings (unlocks in Main Quest #37: After the Storm).

You are allowed to use the “cheat rings” which makes this significantly easier, especially the autododge from Ring of Timely Evasion. To speed it up, ignore all Side Content and skip all cutscenes by pressing > hold. You are allowed to use the Cheat Rings that are in your inventory from the start, even in Final Fantasy Mode, they don’t void any trophies. Simply put: follow the Collectible Guide to get 100% completion > clean up Combat Trophies at the End > play through Final Fantasy Mode in New Game+. Those earlier periods contain nothing for trophies, and if you missed any side quests before the Point of No Return in Main Quest #25: The Dame, it doesn’t matter.

After the story you can still free-roam everywhere from Clive’s Thirtees, but can’t go back to previous periods of his life. The only trophy-relevant section is Clive’s Thirties, which starts at Main Quest #26: The Crystals’ Curse.

None of the side content from his Teens and Twenties counts towards trophies. The game takes place over three periods of Clive’s Life: His Teens, Twenties, Thirties.

For Platinum you practically need 100% completion to unlock all Patron Items and to visit all Areas. You get almost all collectibles as automatic rewards from side quests and hunt board quests. The open world is still fully accessible after the story. The linear areas are not part of the open world but there’s a stage replay to revisit them. The game is semi-linear and semi-open world.

Non-open world areas can be replayed via Stage Replay & Arcade Mode from the Arete Stone in your base, except for some Prologue areas that don’t contain anything trophy-related.
