#ACNL just needs around 100 more dream suite visits and maybe some item catalog stuff?

MASTER RANK. FINALLY. I DONE IT

aaand, that's all the rider card titles in the game! I technically 100%ed this save a few years ago, because you don't need all titles, just all the achievements. (part of this process included me printing out a giant checklist of every monster gene in the game. and then tracking down every single one of them. because this game! does NOT tell you which genes you've already had before! so even if you've hatched plenty of monsters, if you released one without taking note of every gene it had? yeah you're gonna have to go find those all over again just to make sure you HAVE actually had them.)

The rest of the achievements are a decent bit easier, aside from tracking down all 100 Poogies (little collectible pig guys) (someone uploaded an entire imgur album of their locations. I am so glad.) Otherwise it's just stuff like clearing parts of the story or clearing all the subquests, stuff you wind up doing anyways.

THOUGH. there's achievements for getting high enough battle ranks in the online mode, too. These aren't very hard to reach and the achievements just go up to S rank. So for a few years I was under the impression that was the maximum and I didn't have to worry about any more online battle stuff.

....except about a month or so ago i was grinding for the online-only DLC items, and hit S+. huh. which gives you a few titles. And then hit S++. and then it turns out there's a Master rank, which requires 300 total battles, and a win rate of 70%. There's two different win rates the game keeps track of, your overall win rate across every battle, and then just the last 20. THANKFULLY, the battle ranks only look at that second win rate. So not a hard achievement to get if you coordinate with someone else online, but otherwise insanely easy to miss.

...finding the criteria for Master rank was also really difficult seeing as there's like.... two posts about it. on the entire internet. great. MHS2 unfortunately takes up a ton of search results for this game, which sucks because some of the mechanics here are REALLY weird and never explained.

There ARE other titles in the game unrelated to any achievements or progression, but they're all just for slaying 5/10/15 of a given monster, which isn't too hard, aside from keeping track of stuff like all the recolors of small monsters.

I haven't fully upgraded every armor set/weapon but aside from that! Totally 100%ed! ...somehow i only have 500 hours here!
