One of the biggest and most important questions that gamers have is the following:

• Is there any missable content?
• If I play the game without a guide or walkthrough, am I at risk for missing critical or essential items?
• Are any achievements/trophies missable?

The short answer is: No.

But there are some caveats. It is possible to go through particular sections of the game and miss important items contained within treasure coffers, but you can go back to obtain anything you missed by accessing the Arete Stone and using the “Stage Replay” option.

Is there anything important that you can miss? You can obtain all of the gear and items at any time, but certain Optional Quests can be skipped. These aren’t critical to the story, and they won’t impact your ability to obtain any achievements or trophies. The game provides you with a warning when this is about to happen.

So rest assured—you can play through the game without a guide and without worrying about missing anything important.
