• DO NOT sell your equipment, at least not before you learn every support ability related to them.
  
  
• I recommend ignoring tetra master for now, you can get all the achievements related to cards and cards itself at endgame (except for some like Namingway, but they are pointed out in this guide).

If you don't fancy an image heavy guide, see this walkthrough version instead.
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=680623233

Just a list of missable achievements and a quick glance as to why they're missable: To avoid spoilers, end-game is referring to the end of Disc 3. (Do it before Ipsen's Castle)

Movie Critic - There are a total of 80 ATEs, but only 79 ATEs can be obtained in a single playthrough. You need 79 ATEs for this achievement in a single playthrough.

Another Man's Treasure - At the end of the game, you can figure out your Treasure Hunter rank. You need Rank S here. Rank S is obtained by looting the majority of treasures, side quests, and minigames. You can miss SOME treasure.

A Round of Applause - During the swordfighting scene near the beginning of the game is the only chance you have for this. Completing this also grants you a Moonstone (also missable).

Over the Moon - The Moonstone from the swordfight scene is missable. Conde Petie's Moonstone is also missable with the stones. Do note, you NEED at least one moonstone later on, so don't lose them.

A-Hunting We Will Go - During Lindblum's Festival of the Hunt, Vivi must win the hunt. This can be done by having both Zidane and Freya faint against the Zaghol at the end.

Driving the Hard Bargain - During your visit to Burmecia, you will encounter Stiltzkin who will often ask you to purchase goods to fund his trip. Make sure you purchase his stuff every single time.

Out of Harm's Way - During the siege on Cleyra, you'll be given choices to give to its residents as to where they should retreat, you must pick the right choice for all the residents.

Peek-A-Boo - In Fossil Roo, the tunnel connecting the Mist Continent and the Outer Continent, you can play the mining mini-game for items. Mining the moogle to the right will grant this achievement. Fossil Roo becomes inaccessible at the end of the game.

The One Ring - In the same mining game, the player can obtain a Madain's Ring. With Fossil Roo unavailable end-game, you can no longer play the mining game.

Track Star - During your return to Alexandria from the Outer Continent, you can race Hippaul for a short period of time. Going to watch Ruby's play will prevent this.

Found in the Shuffle - During your return to Alexandria from the Outer Continent, you can find the Nero brothers in the weapon shop where they'll have you gamble in a shuffle game. It is unavailable after this.

My Little Airship - The Prima Vista requires you to collect all of the coffee. During Treno's card game tournament, you'll have to go to Dali to get the Mayor's Key for Burman Coffee. Also Dali becomes unavailable in the end-game.

Exalibur II - The player must reach the final area of the game within 12 hours playtime. Technically this isn't missable, but amassing 2 years of gametime to overflow the playtime back to 0 isn't a good route either.

Dragon Lady - Treno has a monster in the weapon shop that changes from time to time. Eventually, a Behemoth will be that monster and you'll need to defeat it with Dagger. This is end-game, but you must do it with Dagger.

Mister Nice Guy - The second to last monster requests a Moonstone which the previous monster grants. There is a very limited amount of moonstones, so if something were to happen to your moonstones, this quest would become impossible.

• The Mognet Central quest is NOT missable. If you miss too many letters, you won't be able to start it in Disc 3, but you can start it in Disc 4 with no issues. So this note applies to the Superslick achievement as well. Mois will relocate to the entrance from the Marsh (requires Quina in your party)
  
• There are 100 unique Tetra Master players that you can challenge at the end of the game. It's difficult to find them all, but it's not missable.

Note: Everything listed below is available at disc 4.

Femme Fatales?
Form a party with Quina Quen and three female characters


As the description says you must form a party with Quina , Eiko , Dagger and Freya. This can be done at any save point in Memoria since It's the only place where you can replace Zidane.
It can also be done as early as Desert Palace & Oeilvert, but it is not recommended.



The B-Team
Form a party with four male characters.


Same as above but male this time, your team should be: Zidane, Steiner, Amarant and Vivi.



It's All in the Cards II and III



Win 100 Tetra Master matches. (Certain NPCs can be re-challenged to increase your win count after progressing through the game.)

This achievement requires you to beat 100 different people...don't worry , there are enough people at the end of the game (102 including Card Stadium and Memoria ghosts)

Memoria Ghosts







One Nag Too Many
Cause Moguo to have a tantrum.


Easy one, call Moguo (World map Moogle) a grand total of 17 times.



Follow Your Nose
Raise your chocobo's beak level to 99.


If you don't have this one by now, just go to the Chocobo Lagoon and play Hot and Cold until you hit beak level 99, I recommend getting 8 per run for the bonus exp and using fast forward to make itless tedious.

When you hit 99 frogs, Quale is going to challenge you, defeat S/he to receive the Gastro Fork.





Still I rise
Activate the Rebirth Flame ability when all party members are incapacitated


There's a chance of casting Rebirth Flame when Eiko is in your party and if all your team gets incapacitated, the chance of this happening is equal to

[(# of Phoenix Pinions / 256) * 100]
38% being the max if you have 99 Phoenix Pinions in your inventory.
