It's like a tradition that it's one of the achievements at this point. Yet the "Legend" run is always kinda whatever once you've figured out how the game works.

Tsukasa1891 05/11/23 9:40:30 AM #14:	It's only a slog if the highest difficulty is locked behind beating the game on a lower difficulty.

Kamil 05/11/23 10:06:29 AM #17:	13 Sentinels Aegis Rim you can just play normlly and not even on the hardest difficulty to platinum it. My only platinum besides Steins; Gate Zero which I had to do one specific event to complete that (conveniently I had saves right by this point). I know Steins; Gate Zero doesn't fit the question but I couldn't say 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim is my only ever platinum. --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off.
