Alphadia Genesis - Main Game Spoiler-free Walkthrough

General

All the achievements are linked to the stats you can view by going to 'System' then 'Trophies' in the in-game menu.  I'm just noting down approximately when I achieved them, they're not linked to specific parts of the game.  There is an achievement for finding all 220 chests, so I've numbered them to make it easier to check if you've missed any.  As far as I can tell, nothing is permanently missable.  The 'use energi' achievements I initially assumed meant to use energi points, but it actually means to cast the skills listed under energi - basically, just use magic X amount of times.  I'm not sure if casting healing energi from the menu counts.

According to this resource - one of the only ones I found for the game - there are six items which can only be bought with AGP through the speciality shop;

• Mind Earrings - 80AGP
• Guilty Amulet - 110AGP
• Total Amulet - 130AGP
• Condition Earrings 3 - 150AGP
• Booster Bracelet - 70AGP
• Invalid Commune - 120AGP

Buying one copy of each of the above would cost 660AGP.  There are also three accessories of which only one copy is obtainable without buying more with AGP;

• Energi Scrunchie - 100AGP
• Assistance Orb - 80AGP
• Case x Charm - 100AGP

So far, I've found 680 AGP in game, and have heard rumours (but not verified) that there is 500 more.
