Welcome Tales fans! Oh boy do I love this series. New Namco JRPG is ready to be taken and it brings so much joy and good stuff! The road to platinum is not hard, but there are some missables and some things to think about when you play. Let's get started
Step 1 - Finish the game while working on the quests, collecting all collectibles along the way. Be careful about the missables
There is a free-roam when you finish the game, and most of the stuff can be done even then. The only issue is when you defeat the 4th lord boss in the cruise ship Mobile Fortress Gradia, the ship sinks and you can't go back there. You can find 38 Owls in the game in total. Although this one is missable, it will appear in Ganath Haros region if you missed it on the ship, Thistlym area, north part of the shore area on the map. So, with this, nothing is missable in this game when it comes to trophies.
There are some things to think about during your playthrough. Here is the list so you can easily know if you are on track:
Forge strong bond trophies - During a certain point in the game, when you rest at the campfire (before resting, after cooking), you can spend a bond event with a character. You know this by dialogue icon "..." next to character name. Do this as often as you can, as thing will become a grind later if you don't do it when you can every time (cooldown is around 1 hour in between these).
300 Skits trophy - You need 300, which means you can miss 20. Don't get too comfortable, you can still miss this trophy if you skip them often. Usually they happen after quests, during story etc. Keep triggering them!
Perform 100 Counter Edges trophy - Dodging with R2 and following with R1 will perform Counter Edge. Keep doing this as you play, but even if you don't, there is an easy way to do it.
Step 2 - Post-game (finish what you miss regarding quests and collectibles)
Beating the game unlocks more quests, so you have to finish it to get them all. You can track the game progress in your menu, to check what you miss for the collectibles, which can help you mop up what you maybe missing at this point.
Step 3 - Reach Level 100, craft 100 weapons and collect what you still miss
The last step will probably be reaching level 100, and crafting 100/103 weapons. Then you also have Group Battle Ultimate at the Training Grounds, working your way towards 300 Skits, and also buying 400 Skills. When you do all that, you probably have the platinum already! Cheers!

This comes as spending bonding evetns with your crew. When resting at campfires, after choosing whether to cook (but you don't have to), you can choose which party member to spend time with.

Find all Owls, simple :)
You can find 38 Owls in the game in total. Nothing is missable, except the Owl #26, which gets unobtainable after you defeat the 4th lord boss in the cruise ship Mobile Fortress Gradia. After that the ship sinks, you can't go back to ship. Although this one is missable, it will appear in Ganath Haros region if you missed it on the ship, Thistlym area, north part of the shore area on the map. So, with this, nothing is missable in this game when it comes to trophies. Last 6 Owls start appearing when you collect first 32 Owls.
You can find 70 side quests in Tales of Arise.
For this trophy, clear your first quest (this cannot even be missed).

44 Fish to catch, 12 fishing locations! Catch all fishs for this trophy. You unlock the ability to fish automatically from story when you get to the 3rd region of the game, and the more detailed guide with where to find them all, plus the fishing gear, can be found in the next topic:
Automatic story unlock, after reaching the campfire in Iglia Wastes in the first region of the game.
In this game you can find 38 Recipes. Finding only 30 unlocks the "Globetrotting Foodie" trophy, so you can miss some and still get it. Recipe #21 Sandwich is the one that is missable (during the "Owl Sanctuary" quest), the rest are not missable (4 Recipes are DLC Recipes and doesn't count towards the recipe trophies). You can find them in chests or from doing quests.
Out of 103 different weapons in the game, you need to forge 100. Forging weapons can be possible by speaking to the merchant in dungeons, or with a blacksmith in towns (Inn in Ulzebek for example). You can unlock new recipes by simply progressing the story, and from doing the side quests (you need them all for trophies anyway).
Tales of Arise - Side Quests Guide
For Weapon Materials, check enemy list under your menu, you can easily see the drops and location of all enemies there, making finding all materials fairly easy.
When you unlock accessories crafting, you need to craft 30 accessories and this means you can also craft the same one 30 times.. Forging weapons can be possible by speaking to the merchant in dungeons, or with a blacksmith in towns (Inn in Ulzebek for example).
There is 450 Skills to learn, and you will need 400 to unlock all skill-related trophies. Each skill panel consists of 6 skills, and only unlockable skills count for the trophy.
The Skill panels are unlocked by doing specific actions in the game, so you need to think about them too. SP is obtained automatically for every battle you win. Some Skill panels are also unlocked by doing the side quests.

The Skill panels are unlocked by doing specific actions in the game, so you need to think about them too. SP is obtained automatically for every battle you win. Some Skill panels are also unlocked by doing the side quests. You will unlock the trophy before you activate them all, I think I have 3-5 skills that I never activated per character.
This one will for sure be unlocked by simply playing the game. You need a 100 hits combo, which will be much easier later when you unlock more skill points and chain attacks. Think about chaining and using character special skills (D-pad Boost skills in lower left corner) to raise your combo meter.
This one will come naturally as you grind your way towards level 100, for sure you will chain some attacks and finish with 10k in one hit.
Counter Edge Skill is unlocked pretty early in the game. When you stand still and press R2 when an enemy is about to hit you, you will enter the slow-montion dodge counter moment, which you can activate by then following with the R1 button. Do this 100 times to unlock this trophy.
You spend money for buying and crafting stuff. Collect money from doing side-quests and selling misc items to merchants. This one should come naturally, but if it doesn't, make a backup save, craft, sell, craft, sell...
Don't worry, reaching level 100 is easy. When you finish all quests, you will be around level 80+, so you only need up to 1h to finish the process. The best way is to beat Chronos during the Otherwordly Visitors quest (you can fight with him as many time as you like) until you reach level 100. Make sure to boost EXP with Artifacts that boosts EXP, and eat something that also increases EXP to make the process shorter.
0:01 - Otheworldly Visitors Quest Start
2:55 - First Rift Boss
9:06 - Second Rift Boss
15:00 - Third Rift Boss
23:20 - Forth Rift Boss
32:29 - Fifth Rift Boss
41:59 - Last Rift Boss (Chronos)
By the time you beat all Gigant monsters, finish the game, do all side-quest; you will for sure encounter 120 types of enemies. It should come naturally when going for all trophies in this game.
Automatic story unlock.
Complete "The Phantom Flower of Nevira" quest. Go to Menancia, Autelina Palace (1F), Library to start it. You must reach Rena (final dungeon) first. Upon approaching the bookshelves next to the girl that gave you "Bibliophile" quest, you will trigger a sub-quest. Go to Cyslodia, Nevira Snowplains and go to the quest marker. Defeat "Meneiys" side-boss.
0:01 - Night Blossom Trophy ("The Phantom Flower of Nevira" quest)
1:11 - "Meneiys" (Lvl 54) side-boss
Location: Traslida Highway
Unlocked after beating 5 Lords and when you return back to Menancia (when you can travel all around the whole world again).
East from the west entrance, there is a group of people next to a caravan. Talk to them, and you will start this quest. You need to go to Tietal Plains (area north from this area), enter the new temple that appeared and make your way towards the end (follow the teleports). At the end there is a 60+ level boss, so you might want to postpone this one for later.
8:20 - Quaking Continent Trophy ("The Spirit Temple" quest)
10:09 - Grand Gnome (Lvl 65) side-boss
Location: Mahag Saar, Niez
This will unlock when you complete all other quests in Niez. Talk to the same client next to the exit to Aqfotle Hills to start it. You will need to go through Mount Dhiara to the Ridge and into a tall tower. At the top of the tower is a boss called "Procella Sylph", probably way too stronger than you at this point, so it's completely fine to return here when you're stronger. I managed to beat him while I was a little below level 60.
20:27 - Billowing Cyclone Trophy ("Farewell, Mage" quest)
21:22 - Procella Sylph" (Lvl 70) side-boss
This quest is unlocked after beating 5 Lords and when you return back to Menancia (when you can travel all around the whole world again). Talk to the old man standing at the top of the Ganath Haros, Thylstim village (higher level). In the Shinefall Woods head to the very south where you can now swim through the water to reach a new cave, Fogwharl Limestone Caverns. At the end of the cave you must defeat a boss "Luo Undine" (tough for your current level when this unlocks, so you can come back later if needed).
36:45 - Raging Current Trophy ("Untamable Rage" quest)
38:27 - "Luo Undine" (Lvl 56) side-boss
Elite Monsters are a stronger versions of monsters that you can defeat by doing some quests or simply defeating them as you explore. There are 20 of those, and you need to defeat them all to get the corresponding trophy. Nothing is missable here, so you don't have to worry if you missed some.
To unlock this quest, you must finish "The Spirit Temple" and "Another Hillside Anomaly" quests. Both quests will lead you inside the temple in Tietal Plains, where you have to reach the end through the portals. After you beat the game, you will unlock "Otherworldly Visitors" quest, which is continuationg of previous 2 at the same temple. You need to reach the end (6 areas, "Chronos" boss at the end) to unlock this trophy.
Note that this dungeon has the best gear for your party members, so make sure to pick up all chests. Afterwards, you can grind levels on Chronos to reach level 100 easily.
0:01 - Otheworldly Visitors Quest Start
2:55 - First Rift Boss
9:06 - Second Rift Boss
15:00 - Third Rift Boss
23:20 - Forth Rift Boss
32:29 - Fifth Rift Boss

You get this quest in Daeq Faezol, Lower Level area after you beat the game and load the clear game save. This challenge is one of the latest challenges you should attempt, as you will fight all in-game story bosses of each region and they are level 95-99. I suggest you do everything else in the game (minus the Ultimate group arena challange) and then try this one.
Video coming soon...
This is the last arena group challenge. You need to beat it to unlock the trophy, but you should also max out your levels beforehand as you will have troubles with this one. More details coming soon...
Video coming soon...
You can find 23 Artifacts in the game. You will need them all for some side quest unlocks and for corresponding trophy (you need 20 for the last artifact trophy, but only 1 for this). When you defeat the 4th lord boss in the cruise ship Mobile Fortress Gradia, the ship sinks and you can't get back there, but although this one is missable, it will appear in Ganath Haros region if you missed it on the ship, Thistlym area, north part of the shore area on the map. With this in mind, you can't miss anything when ti comes to Artifacts.

Find the collapsed man on the path to Viscint, talk to him and he’ll go with you on his ranch. This will complete this short one, and open the ranch mini-game. You can send animals to the farm on Campfires, so make sure do to so regulary (you can boost the results if you pay for food for them). After some short time, you can collect the rewards from the merchant.

Skits are optional conversations which you trigger with R1 when the option appears at the right bottom of the screen. There are 320 skits, but only 300 are required for the trophy. You can still miss this one if you skip the skits, which would mean leaving some area without watching the skit (always remember this!), or passing the opportunity on campfires. Re-visiting old area during the story can also trigger an skit (when you get near the end-game), as well as doing the side-quests and other trophy-related requirements. For example, completing Ultimate Arena challenge per character unlocks the skit for that character, or cooking different recipes triggers some.
If you don't unlock the trophy on 300, that means you still didn't watched some skit/s that are counted. Go to campfire, Reminescence, check the "!" icon on the list of skits. If some skit has it, that means you need to watch it. Do this for all skits on the list that might have been missed, and the trophy will unlock.
You can check the progress in Menu -> Field Guide -> Play Records -> Skits Triggered.
