PS3

The priority is reaching the branches with separate saves and dispatches already running. The cats work while you clear chapters and jobs. Use that time to build affinity, then finish their item lists before starting any New Game Plus.

The 49-trophy Western PS3 lists. All endings and counters are in the base game.

  • Cats: Every Kitty Dispatch area needs its full item list.
  • Chromatus limit: From the end of Chapter 13 to an ending: no more than 50 uses.
  • Debt: Pay the final 100 gald to Nova in Trigleph.

Run Kitty Dispatch alongside the story

Look for cats in town corners, fields and dungeons. Once you find the first cat in an area, dispatch the others there while you continue the story. A new cat alone does not complete the collection: look for the paw mark and completion text on that area’s item list. Revisit zones with rare rewards once your roster grows.

  • Do not start NG+ while the menu still shows unfinished areas.

Build affinity and titles together

Rotate linked companions, fight with characters who still need affinity, and do character stories as they open. For arte and technique counters, use enemies durable enough to repeat the move. Before committing to dozens of fights, compare the number in the title menu: an incorrect link will not advance the requirement.

  • Track missing titles by character and reuse trips made for jobs.

Prepare saves for Chapters 15 and 16

Limit Ludger’s transformations from the end of Chapter 13. Save before the Marksburg decision in Chapter 15 and repeatedly choose R1 to protect Julius for Blood Brothers. Keep that save to return to the other branch. In Chapter 16, save before the finale and after the boss choose L1 throughout for The Fatalist and R1 throughout in a separate attempt for Beyond Judgment.

  • Check the titles after the scene before overwriting the branch save.

Finish repayment with Nova

After opening better-paying activities, alternate elite targets, jobs and post-game content to earn gald. For Perfect Body, a lower number on the screen is not enough. When only the final hundred of the twenty million gald debt remains, visit Nova in Trigleph, finish the payment, and watch the dedicated scene. Do not leave this work to a fresh run.

  • Keep the final payment separate from the instalments that open travel.

Open the cameo challenge after the ending

Load a clear file from the normal or true ending and follow the Femme Fatales requests. Use Kitty Dispatch for Rainbow Lenses and look for the Unicorn Horn in Illusionary Darkness. Clear that dungeon and the Elite Party rank at the Xian Du coliseum, then take the scene branch for Codependency. Use the remaining post-game for max level and battle titles.

  • At the cameo choice, select L1 to record Codependency.

Trophies to watch

Chromatus Control

Proof of one who has sealed away their chromatus abilities.
Now that's willpower!

Track Chromatus uses from the end of Chapter 13 and reach an ending without exceeding fifty.

The Cat's Pajamas

You've completed your item list for each area in Kitty Dispatch!
You're the cat's pajamas now!

Complete each area’s item list before NG+.

Perfect Body

Your level of tenacity is greater than any words can describe.
You're brilliant, and everyone knows it!

Pay the last one hundred gald by speaking to Nova in Trigleph.

Codependency

Hey, living through others is still living, right?
Be proud of yourself! But not TOO proud.

Open the post-game requests, then Elite Party and the L1 cameo choice.

Blood Brothers

This is the ultimate destination for two brothers.
With so little time left, may they find peace.

Save at the Marksburg fork and follow the choices supporting Julius.

Frequently asked questions

Are all one hundred cats enough?

No. Every Kitty Dispatch area’s item list must show completion in the same run.

Does Blood Brothers unlock NG+?

No. You can resume from the decision after that ending, then finish a different story branch.

Must I replay from scratch for every ending?

Use saves before Chapter 15 and 16 decisions. The debt and cameo paths can be handled on the post-game file.
