If you did not before, these are good playthroughs to use a guide to ensure you get all titles and sidequests. GRADE (100) - essential to getting more grade for 10x EXP and other expensive purchases Brave Soul, Eternal Apprentice, Friendship First, I Hate Gels!)Ģx EXP (1000) - helpful, but you will have to grind a lot to get this for playthrough 2ġ0x EXP (3000) - do not bother with this until you can grind with increased Grade on further playthroughs, but definitely get it when you can Max HP (250) - makes getting certain titles easier (i.e. Tech Usage (25) - makes re-learning Lv.2 and Lv.3 techs much easier Mini Game (10) - only important once you get casino chipsīattle Info (10) - affects Devil Arms damage Play Time (10) - only important until you get 100 HoursĬooking Ability (50) - you can get Recipes (50) too, but I always grind cooking ability endgame when I have them all again anywayįigurines (10) - only important if you have started making a lot of figurines Here are my personal recommendations for the most important grade shop purchases.

You can choose between the three companions who have the highest affection for Lloyd. When you get to the doctor event in Flanoir, you will have to choose one of your companions. Using the Grade Shop bonuses will help immensely in further playthroughs (as long as you remember to carry over the important things). It is impossible to achieve all trophies on your first playthrough, since there are a few events where you have to choose one or more characters to earn certain titles (or get a certain item in Flanoir) and the other options will be excluded until your next playthrough. Warning: The Walkthrough contains spoilers!įor your first playthrough, you can just play without a guide, but you can use Kratos15354’s guide if you’d like to make sure you do not miss anything. Use this when you want to choose a specific person at Flanoir (especially because Kratos must be in your top 3 to choose now, instead of just refusing three times). This guide is a very in-depth look at the affection mechanic. This thread by Rawrgna is an excellent guide to the new titles and new events that affect character affection.
