Completion is a mix of the main story, maxed bonds and every Archetype mastered — a long but steady goal that mostly comes together through good calendar planning.
The checklist
- Finish the main story and unlock all eight party members.
- Max every Follower bond to unlock all lineages and Royal Archetypes.
- Master every Archetype on the protagonist himself — the other party members' Archetypes don't count.
- Clear the optional/hardest dungeons and superbosses.
Planning for it
- All 14 Follower bonds can be maxed in one run with a guide's calendar — and they must be, since Follower ranks reset in New Game+.
- Keep all five Royal Virtues climbing so no bond stalls late.
- Master Archetypes as you go rather than grinding them all at the end.
- Leave the optional superbosses for a fully evolved, Royal-Archetype party.
Watch for missables
- Maxing every Follower is missable within a run: fall behind on the calendar and the trophy slips away, and NG+ won't rescue it because bonds start over.
- Time-limited side quests expire; note their deadlines before committing days.
- The ending depends only on three late story choices, not on bonds; bad endings give no trophy, so save before late conversations.
- Nothing about Archetype mastery is missable; it just takes many hours.
What the platinum actually asks for
44 trophies, and roughly 120 hours. It is not a hard list — the usual
difficulty rating is 3 out of 10 — but it is a long one, and two items on it decide how you play your first
run.
| Requirement | Why it shapes your run |
|---|---|
| Master every Archetype | Archetypes come from bond ranks, so this is really a Followers job — start early |
| Max every Follower rank | Fourteen Followers, eight ranks each. The single biggest calendar cost in the game |
| All summoning vessels and masks, all recipes, all gold beetle exchanges | Collection work, spread across the run |
| Complete 75 of the 76 quests | Not 76: quests #39 and #40 are alternatives, so doing one closes the other |
| Beat a superboss in New Game Plus | The platinum cannot be finished in one run. Plan for a second |
Knowing about the New Game Plus requirement early is worth days. If a second run
is happening anyway, you can stop trying to squeeze everything into the first one — and Royal Virtues carry over,
so the second run has far more free days. See New Game Plus.
Cross-checked
Cross-checked on 5 September 2026 against PowerPyx's and PlayStationTrophies' trophy guides — both confirm 44 trophies, roughly 120 hours to platinum, the 75-of-76 quest requirement (quests #39 and #40 are alternatives), and that the platinum needs a New Game Plus superboss, exactly as this page has it. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it.
