No problem, Gaiden should be so much more enjoyable.

oh yeah for sure, I think you're totally right on the part that it wasn't that difficult but just took a long time now that I think about it in retrospect! Thanks for sharing your own 100% journey

Very grindy... I did it a bit different to you, I just did all of it in 1 Legend difficulty save and then did Ultimate Battle. The only challenge in the grind was sitting around grinding money tbh, otherwise the game isn't too difficult, plus Vortex and the right combo of Cards makes bossfights trivial (and what I used to utterly destroy Amon and 3-20).

Damn, congrats! Grindy wasn't it?

Update, I have just 100%ed the game... 231h :\

Well it was damn close to my Y5 hours but I'm so glad I'm done.

I mean you can save-scum chicken races but its still pain, Y0 crafting almost made me quite but since then I've had a lot more resilience, especially when Y5 came around, as I did them in chronological order, kinda Y0->LAD, Judgement, LJ, Ishin

The crafting almost made me give up. And this was with the chicken race exploit, I think it was patched a long time ago so crafting is even more soul crushing now

Forgot to add, at ~70h with about 50% achievements, can't wait for that pace to drop off soon when it comes to crafting everything...

oh no not 246h thats near my Y5 100% hours eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

really nice
