I fullu agree with the above poste. There is a place for cheevos like that and that is in a bonus set.

look Im hardly a speedrunner, and even then, overall the Limit achievements weren't that difficult to pull off. In many cases, it literally took like a try or two to get the strategy down. The only one I'd say was perhaps the tightest was Juza after fighting the Sandworm. Otherwise, was a decent challenge. Low-level runs aren't by themselves bonus set material in my opinion. Again, if someone like myself can pull them off, anyone can.

The thread was asking for opinions, so I was merely offering mine, not trying to turn this into a 'if I can do it anyone can' contest.

For the "Library for the Ages" do i go back to the starting school?

It's in Krup. The 3 books reference Sega games.

Was about to play this one. Then I seen the achievement list. Hopefully this one gets a revision soonish. Some of these cheeves definitely belong in a bonus list.

As someone who mastered this ages ago, I'm also going to add in my support for the low level run stuff being a bonus set. Speedruns and low level runs are definitely interesting challenges, but not the sort that everyone really enjoys. I personally feel such achievements are more of a chore than a fun challenge myself. Please make those into a bonus set for those who like such challenges to enjoy and those who don't can stick with just the main set.

@JimShoes good for you, but with all due respect, your intention does not get in the way of others voicing their opinions. This is a comment section about the set, and Im responding to a conversation that doesn't just involve you. If that bothers you, that is frankly your problem.

JimShoes 24 Oct 2021 05:02

I'm here to have fun and I see no problem with myself being able to do a low level run given the amount of times I've beaten it over the last 20-ish years and the depth I know of the mechanics of it. However, for casual players, I feel it is out of place and will only deter people from wanting to run the game. RPG's in general are a huge time sink, and no one wants to restart a grind of a dungeon dive multiple times because they happened to over-level right before or during a boss fight. I also feel that having to follow a guide to explicitly hunt down achievements takes away from the fun of playing the game and accomplishing it. Again, I cite the fact I was offering my opinion about the set. Clearly from the last few comments before this most recent one of yours, I'm not alone in my thoughts about the low level run being out of place. Having a few edge things to hunt out to get the whole story, sure. Or even like grinding out a Golden Chocobo in FF7, because it extends the lore of the game when you hunt out the things it grants you access to. But there is nothing offered by doing a low level run of this game other than frustrate people.Am I bothered by your comment? Not in the slightest. Clearly you have some issue with me though, so I'm not going to sit here while you try to start some kind of argument with me about it which is uncalled for. Are you going to provoke a fight with everyone else who disagreed with you? I can offer my thoughts on the set just like you can. Whether or not you agree isn't my problem.I enjoy the game and the lore of the series and honestly couldn't care less about your skill level being the bar to set for everyone else. If you have difficulty accepting someone else having a different opinion than you, then that's on you and I wish you the best with your achievements and, quite frankly, have nothing else to say to you.

Hear, hear!Seriously... the Limit ones *are* a bit much. I love this game and seeing those are more than a little discouraging. I don't want to have to follow a guide for a low level run.

andersondias 23 Jan 2022 15:01

pena que tenham colocado essas conquistas de limite de level nos chefes. Simplesmente tornaram a experincia nesse jogo em algo extremamente frustante e entediante, ja que na maioria das vezes vc vai depender de RNG para ganhar as lutas, alem de jogar basicamente uma speed run. Concordo que os games tem que ter um nivel de desafio sim mas conquistas, mas aqui faltou bom senso e tornaram a experincia de platinar esse jogo basicamente num reset infinito de save, ate vc finalmente dar a sorte de pegar um RNG bom em determinados chefes para vence-los. O que convenhamos, no tem nada haver com a habilidade, e sim se a pessoa tem sorte, pacincia e tempo livre para fazer isso

Fun set, read the revision comments in the forum thread before beginning for some good strats and insight into game mechanics. Suggest making use of all save files and backing up extras for easier backtracking if you miss a missable.

DaniloZlatan 1 Mar 2022 13:56

My favorite revision so far

Beulu79 16 May 2022 17:40

I agree for the low level bosses. I started this, I know the game but I'm stuck in the Air castle and it's boring me... Is it possible to move it to a bonus set like castlevania games ?

PlagueKBR 7 Aug 2022 05:18

Também concordaria que as conquistas Limit teriam que ser adicionadas a um set a parte, um bonus , pois isso desanima muito aqueles que querem aprender sobre o jogo e curtir ele. Como dito anterior, a adição das quests da guilda e alguns monstros raros e de side até foi interessante adicionar, mas as Limits ficaram meio fora de contexto nisso tudo.

low level achievements for JRPGs are a classic case of bonus set^^ thank you for your work tho!

Flyeaglesfly72 9 Jan 2023 17:20

None of my achievements are popping up for the game anyone else having that issue

woolyshambler 14 Jan 2023 12:13

please move the low level run to a bonus set

Zopharr 2 Feb 2023 03:40

Mastered! The low level challenges are honestly not that hard if you're using all of the abilities given to you.... alhough I'd recommend getting all the other achievements in a separate playthrough.
I died maybe 3 times during the whole "Limit" series, and not once did a boss take more than two tries.
Thanks for the awesome set!

MogomraZero 20 Feb 2023 04:58

Low level limit achievements should be a bonus set.
