(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alrighty, girls and boys. Here's a platinum save and Ultimate Starter Save with Elixirs! for the game Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

You must login or register to view this content.

1. Resign the save to your profile and you're set. Param.sfo has been removed from the file.

2. The save was modified by Cyber Editor to give 999.999.999 gil, STR & MAG both at value of 5000, and ATB at max value of 200.

3. Time limit got you down? No problem, just chug an elixir, throw Chronostasis and you're good to go. There's 60000 more Elixirs where the first one came from.

4. The save is on fully completed 3rd round through the game. You have a ton of weapons, shields, accessories, decorations. Most importantly, all 71 in-game costumes are unlocked.

5. When you load the save, you'll be asked to choose a difficulty mode. Just pick whatever, and enjoy the game.

6. When you look into the garb collection, you may see some duplicates of Lightning's Equilibrium garb saying something like "Unindentified garb". These are the DLC garbs you may not yet have. Once you get them as DLC, they'll replace relevant "Unindentified garb" entry. Same for abilities, weapons, shields and adornments. This does not cause any problem with you playing the game.

7. Regarding the trophies, you can get these within few hours of playing (TESTED):
- Miracle of Light (use Chronostasis ability once)
- Seeing Stars (achieve a stagger on an enemy once)
- Fatal Impact (deal 99999+ damage in one strike)
- Perfect Timing (guard one enemy's attack with perfect guard)
- Hero of Might, Hero of Glory, Hero of Legend (kill one more enemy)
- Novice Stylist (customize a schema by setting a garb, weapon and shield)
- Novice Artist (change the color of one of your garbs)
- Novice Swordsmith, Expert Swordsmith (go to any weapon shop and upgrade any of your weapons once [may require more than once, in which case upgrade in increments of one unit])
- Novice Shieldsmith, Expert Shieldsmith (go to any weapon shop and upgrade any of your shields once [may require more than once, in which case upgrade in increments of one unit])
- Novice Synthesist, Expert Synthesist (go to any magic shop and synthesize any two abilities once)
- Novice Craftsman, Expert Craftsman (for this one you have to find a treasure ball that contains an accessory; in case you already picked it up in one of previous playthroughs, it'll be upgraded and trophies ding)
- Perfect Passenger (ride any train once)
- Seed Collector (collect one more Soul Seed - you find these in Chaos zones, which are like black domes)
- Queen of the Arena (win one more arena battle)
- Deliverer of Salvation, Angel of Salvation (clear one more side quest)
- Harbinger of Death, Goddess of Death (defeat Noel in Luxerion)
- A helping hand (clear 1 more request on Canvas of Prayers)

7. Trophies you get by playing through the game a bit longer, like 10+ hours:
- Crimson Rebirth (when in final dungeon, complete all four trials and then collect Ultima Sword and Ultima Shield in middle of the room)
- The Chocobo's Savior (nurse the chocobodin back to full health)
- Globetrotter (clear three specific Canvas of Prayers quests, which appear on Day 9)
- The Savior's Descent, The Hope of a Promise, Hope at the Edge of Despair, The Mystery of a Holy Clavis, An Appetite for Chaos, Beyond Thirteen, [A Father, a Son, and a Chocobo] are all storyline trophies. Note that for [Beyond Thirteen] trophy you have to complete a specific amount of sidequests - the number is currently unknown to me, though the more stars a quest has, the better. About 50 sidequests should be enough for the trophy.
- Unearthly Apothecary (obtain an Elixir - get one by trading in 100 Soul Seeds)

8. Trophies you can't get with this save:
- Expert Stylist (obtain 30+ garbs)

Small trophy set for four trophies

2.) Load up save 35. Just SW of your position is a distortion which is Aeronite. Kill it for:
- Desert Dragonslayer (kill Aeronite in Dead Dunes)

- A Legend from Times Past (defeat final boss)

Perfect Starter Save with max gil and 65535 Elixirs!

On this save you will be almost invincible. Lighty begins the game on Day 1 in the Ark, on Normal difficulty. You have 999.999.999 gil, and what's most important is that you have 65535 Elixirs assigned to slot 1 of your recovery items. That means you can keep chugging down Elixirs like no tomorrow, allowing you to abuse Overclock and Chronostasis. Boss a problem? No problem, chug down an Elixir from my super save and you're a problem for the boss now. Hehe.Smile

Have fun playing the game, folks.

I don't change the title/region code and resign it to my profile and get the continue option at the main menu BUT, it gives me a message saying it's someone else's save and I can't earn trophies or save. 2. I do change the title/region code and resign it, BUT then the continue option is gone and I don't get to use the modded save. If there is anyway you could do the saves for this title/region code: NPUB-31173 I would GLADLY appreciate it. I have not run into any issues before resigning saves from other regions and other profiles. If you do decide to help me could you write details like you did for the responses. BTW what is BSD?


pm me your save and ill resign it for you...bsd=bruteforce save data

Hi xenomage, I am having the same issue as sepgamer. I have tried many different combinations when using Bruteforce and nothing will work. I tried different region IDs as well as changing the folder name to what my save was named. After I complete the resigning it gives me the error saying that I can't use a save created by another user. I am completely lost as to was has happened because my other attempts to change region IDs has been effortless except this one. I have the JP version according to Bruteforce, but I bought the game from the US PSN Store. If you could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Save Point
The Starter Save is really cool BUT.....there is a big problem. I completed any trophy exept one. Expert Craftsman. ALL Head Accessoires are already in my inventory and at maximum level. So i can't collect them again. Even at NG+. So the Trophy is impossible with this starter Save.

Did anyone have a Save for the Expert Craftsman Trophy? I searched at google but found nothing.
