PS4 / PS5
Crisis Core Reunion needs a chronological checklist before lengthy mission cleanup. Leaving Midgar without accepting a required assignment can compromise that run, and New Game+ does not preserve completed missions as a shortcut. Give each chapter an identifiable save. The late route then separates DMW, Genji equipment and Minerva, which support but do not replace one another’s conditions. Starting everything on Hard is unnecessary; plan the ending check from a pre-final-boss save.
Reunion on PS4 and PS5. There is no unrestricted chapter-select cleanup; completed mission progress does not carry into New Game+.
- Required difficulty: Hard completion is required; the verified roadmap permits switching before the final boss.
- Missable trophies: Many assignments and items are missable, particularly before leaving Midgar in Chapter 7.
- Online: The platinum is offline single player.
Keep a save for each chapter
When offered a chapter-completion save, use a dedicated slot and do not overwrite it during ordinary cleanup. Chapter selection cannot freely recreate every opportunity. Before a transition, compare local assignments, minigames and objects so a mistake remains recoverable near where it occurred.
- Label saves with chapter and the last missable check.
Accept assignments before leaving Midgar
In Chapter 7, check assignments still needing unlocks before irreversible departure. A mission never accepted can prevent 100% even if later strong enough to defeat it. Track unlocked and completed missions separately and preserve a save before leaving.
- Verify all missable missions before Chapter 7 departure.
Finish DMW without confusing characters and memories
Unlocking a character image does not complete all its DMW memories. Inspect individual percentages before repeating fights and verify relevant story encounters have occurred. Use that record to identify the missing character rather than assume every stalled percentage requires another level.
- Check each character’s DMW percentage.
Prepare Genji and Minerva in advanced missions
Develop equipment and Materia for the superboss rather than ordinary enemies alone. Check acquired Genji pieces against outstanding rewards. Before expensive Gil purchases or fusions, review the whole build so resources needed for another essential piece are not exhausted.
- Compare gear, Materia and missions before Minerva.
Finish cleanup before New Game+
Remain on the pre-boss save to finish missions and collections. Starting New Game+ early does not retain a completed mission checklist. Once verified, prepare the Hard ending and check its setting before the fight, distinguishing that trophy from the Minerva challenge.
- Confirm missions and DMW before starting another cycle.

Frequently asked questions
Can chapter select recover everything?
No. Keep chapter saves and check missables before transitions.
Do completed missions carry into New Game+?
Not as a shortcut to their 100%; finish the project within one run before starting the next cycle.
Must I play the whole story on Hard?
The verified route permits selecting it before the final boss. Keep an earlier save for the attempt.
