I agree with some of you that are saying the "medals" you get in the game, should be used for something. I also really like the idea of medals (like feats in shovel knight) because then the 3DS crowd can get in on the achievement feeling. But anyway...I don't think every medal will also be accompanied by a trophy...some of the harder ones yes, or even just 3 trophies of "get 10 medals (bronze) get 20 medals (silver) get 30 medals (gold)" But...back to the medals themselves. I think it would be cool if after getting so many medals, you get a reward from...oh, say the shop. Like, there is a list of rewards (be them weapons, health ups, time stop up, art, or a treasure map to some of the harder secret areas or break away walls) like you go into the shop, and its like "oh, I see you've collected 6 medals, here is the next reward on the list". Maybe like another boss medal, is to beat him, only using a weapon that he is resistant against. And of course these medals will stay with you through all the NG+'s so you have many chances to get it, once you get stronger and better at the game. Hmm another medal reward would be color swapping. Not sure how hard that is to do, but I know its much easier than changing the sprite.

I will be sure to keep coming up with this or that for the game in this area. But of course, I never EXPECT any of what I come up with to be used, just reading it and giving your thoughts is more than enough

I really like this idea a lot - being rewarded for earning medals. I think Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days did something similar. Depending on how well you did on how many missions you did, and how well you did on them, you'd unlock things in the moogle shop.

Here is a few:

Zookeeper:
Get all familiars

Item Hoarder:
Get all weapons and familiars

Alright, here are some trophy ideas...now, I know some are far fetched, and only a crazy challengist like me would find them fun...so take some of them with a grain of salt. Also, I'm only listing trophies that you would go out of your way to do. I'm sure we will have trophies like "Beat the game" Or "Beat the challenge dungeon" and other stuff like "find 10 secrets...kill 100 enemies" so I won't include the obvious.


Brought the arsenal: Attack 1 enemy with every (type of) weapon.

For the Lizzie!: Beat a boss with only Meyef attacks.

Delightful dodger: Use the back dash to dodge an enemy hit, right before collision.

Just like real life!: Beat the game without dying. (counts if you do it in NG+)

What am I doing wrong?: Beat a boss using only a weapon its strong against

Mount your enemies (reference to the indie game): Kill one enemy while holding onto the side of another.

Trick shot!: Kill 5 enemies with one blast

FUNDED!: Collect $176,667 (the amount we got from KS)

Hesitation: Get a boss to below 25% health, then do not attack for 1 minute.


Now of course, I'll have more for you people, soon. I hope these ideas inspire others like them. Can't wait to hear what you guys and Bodie think

[ThatLlamaGirl]

I will say, I love all the names you come up with for these! Bodie and I discussed calling the defeat all bosses without using timestop: "Don't tell me what to do!"

[Vipes]

Yeah, I was surprised by the names I was coming up with as well. But, great names are also what make some pretty good trophies, so I put in the extra effort. I really wish I could come up with more at the moment, but don't have enough to go on. Either way, I'm sure I will come up with more in a couple days as a list builds up. Haha, I WANT that platinum to be in the game.

I like that name for the trophy, again, shows that the game had creative effort put into everything when people see names and trophies like that.

Not sure exactly how time travel will work from one area to another per se, but if you use info from the future to fix a problem in the past (as part of a quest or so) "Thank you handy Almanac" (Back to the Future Part 2 reference)

Maybe there could be achievements for collecting enough collectibles that'll unlock a cut scene at the end of the game like in the Marvel movies or in comics which is called the Denoumant of the script!!! Called: you unlocked Denoumant #2!! Or you could unlock the subplot of the video game like in the comics, that shows a scene of another character going through something, to maybe find him or her, and then unlock another achievement for finding them!! Called: you unlocked Subplot #3 the mission to find character so and so. Like in Star Wars too as Anakin fins his mother Schimi in the Sand people's huts!!

[Nel Celestine]

Need a "Beard Mode Engaged" achievement for when someone gets all the achievements.
