(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Edit: These have been tested and they do work, if you don't resign correctly - it's either an issue with the checksum or you didn't add the key to your game.conf (I don't know how to do that, so don't ask for a tutorial).

Edit 2: You need critical saves with all 3 characters, and then you must complete the final episode + secret episode. Below you can find all 3 saves, theoretically all you should need to do is complete the story on one (Terra) and then do the final episode + secret episode. If after completing Terra's story you don't get the prompt, go to the other 2 characters and complete the final chapter one last time. I removed the saves for Final Episode + Secret Episode because it's redundant, you'll have to do them on your own anyway. I posted strategies though which you might find helpful.

Edit 3: Might also be a good idea to backup and delete your System Data and then rebuild it (just save) before you play Terra. I can provide my System Data on request but I'm not sure if it will be useful.

Long time leecher, first time contributor (hopefully something to contribute):

Terra gamesave before the final fight on Critical difficulty. Untested.

Save contains x2 Ars Solum, x4 Meteor Crash and x4 Curaga. If you experience too much difficulty with the final fight, just equip deck #1 and go to anywhere and have a field day with the triangle button.

I recommend taking both of the Ars Solums, x3 Curagas and x3 Mega-Ether (takes 1 slot) and make sure to set your shotlock to Thunderbolt. It will make the final fights absurdly easy. Save the shotlocks for the absolute final fight, because I'm not sure if they carry over.

Aqua gamesave after the final fight on Critical difficulty. I'm hoping that you can just save this data (and Ven's) then go play Terra (who, in my opinion, is easiest) to earn your Critical Competitor trophy. Untested.

Save contains x3 Time Splicer, x3 Thundaga, x3 Thundaga Shot, x2 Curaga and x1 Mega Flare. Also includes several ability upgrades to make fights even easier! Not only that, but all of the main D-Links have been upgraded to max (very helpful for Aqua players - if you've done the Secret Episode already you know the sainthood of D-Links and Thunder magic). I recommend using the command deck I have built, as it made the final fights really short (even the notoriously difficult Braig). You also have Renewal Barrier and Firewheel - so use those to your advantage.

Once again, if you have too much difficulty, I recommend throwing on all your thunders and going somewhere to grind some levels then come back.


Ven gamesave after the final fight on Critical difficulty.Untested.

Save contains x3 Time Splicer, some Thundagas and Curagas. I don't really recommend using this save to finish the game but if you have to, go somewhere and get Leaf Bracer, Once More and Second Chance before taking on the final boss.

Blizzara + Blizzara + Pulsing Crystal = Second Chance
Fira + Fira + Wellspring Crystal = Once More
Fire + Fire + Pulsing Crystal = Leaf Bracer

Final Episode Strategy

For the first instance, you just want to abuse your Renewal Barrier + Burst, once in a while if the opening presents itself, hammer away with Time Splicer. I also got Ghost Drive during the fight and knocked him down to size with that for a while before doing a Time Splicer and killing him off (barrier will take forever, but it's reliable). For his second stage, you want to be a little more gratuitous with Time Splicer and run around dodging instead of trying to block. When the guardian grabs you and he walks toward you, I recommend attempting to get caught far away, but if all else fails, the little minigame isn't too hard to win and after a while you'll be able to just beat him to death with Time Splicer again. Fairly easy.

Once again, if you have too many problems - throw on your Thunders and grind some levels.

Secret Episode Strategy

I recommend taking as many Thunder spells as you can + x2 Curaga. The boss is easy, just hits hard. Just use your cures and be semi-patient and you'll see him fall. You have Time Splicer available too, but I recommend sticking with Thunder because your Ghost Drive command style will deal significant damage with your standard attack option.

Again, grind if you have too many problems. The heartless provide enormous amounts of exp (I got like 3k exp just by doing the required fights), so you can easily get a few levels before taking on the boss.

Actually it turns out that BSD just can't resign these. It's been discussed about at length on the BSD forums. Should be able to work with GameGenie though. I'm leaving the saves up just in case anyone in the future wants to work on them. They should still be helpful (well, aside from Ventus requiring some work to be useful).

I actually got the maestro trophy in 30 mins,it's really not that hard, as for the reports..yeah that will take a lot of time, due to beating the command board with all characters *shrug*

For the reports you don't need to beat the command board, just play them. You do, however, need to clear every secret boss (which even on beginner difficulty you'll want to be level 70+ for the Unknown), collect an assload of MA tokens (9,999), etc. It takes an absurd amount of time to finish the reports section in this particular game.

The maestro man... it's all about timing and I still havent unlocked the last song (5 I believe.) Any tips?

did anyone manage to resign any of these?

They do work, but when i try to load them, the game says the data is corrupted

Aside from regional changing with BSD, I haven't had any issues with resigning saves for this game. Region changing and modifications, however, are a different story since I only use BSD.

Yeah i manage to get them to work last night, only used aqua file since i lost my aqua file to the power going out while saving

All the saves work fine, trophies unlock without a problem, now if only would get a medals cheat working for the mirage arena
