Hello again and welcome back to my everlasting struggle to finish Star Ocean: The Last hope. I burnt out after around 20 more hours of Battle Trophy grinding, so I started hoping over to other games and got quite a number of other achievements that I will talk about later.

First of all though is Star Ocean. I spent the majority of this week farming fol in order to synthesise weapons to fight the Etheral Queen (hardest boss).
I now have near perfect equipment and close to max stats so she should die relatively quickly. In regards to Battle Trophies I have a little surprise for you guys :)

I finally got 50% BT's! Turns out I was only one away from it the last time I posted.
Overall I was able to get a few more BT's but I still have a lot to go in particular I really need to get 50 for Sarah so I can break her level cap.

Edge 69/90 +1
Reimi 53/90 +3
Faize 36/90 +0
Lymle 66/90 +0
Bacchus 40/90 +3
Meracle 80/90 +4
Sarah 37/90 +5
Myuria 29/90 +0
Arumat 58/90 +3

Approximate hours invested so far: 150

In regards to my other games I was able to get one particulary difficult achievement in Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

This actually makes it my second most valuble achivement after EZI Worshiper in Eternal Sonata. Overall this was one of the most rewarding achievements I have earned as it had a nasty combination of lots of grinding and a high skill requirement.

I deciced to give Deathsmiles another go and I was able to mop up a few achievements. I swear though I must have spent at least 50 hours trying to 1CC the game as Casper... I've lost just before the end boss dies around 6 times now :(.

Finally I joined quite a few boosting sessions for multiple games:
Orange Box: Got almost all the multiplayer achievements for TF2
Gears of War 2: Got Icy Dead People and Hoard the Horde.
Great Battles Medievil: All online achievements.
As usual thanks to everyone who shows up for gaming sessions!

See you next week folks!

100% Battle Trophies is a long way away but I thought I'd make a little list with how many I need for each character and which one(s) I am going for next.
I mained Meracle through both of my playthroughs so I already have a fair number of hers.

So here goes!

Edge 68/90
Reimi 50/90
Faize 36/90
Lymle 66/90
Bacchus 37/90
Meracle 76/90
Sarah 32/90
Myuria 29/90
Arumat 55/90

What I am going for next: I am farming magical clay to make weapons for the wandering dungeon so i'll be knocking out Arumats kills and Entomolgy drops along the way. Hoping to have around 7000 kills or so when I am finished.

Progress will likely be slow this week due to my desire to finish Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
I'll likely post an update in a few days to let you know how it's coming along!

Aproximate hours invested so far: 130
