Oh, yeah. Yes I do. Sorry 'bout that.

Is that before or AFTER you abuse a loophole in how 'new games' are calculated?
For those who don't know, it's possible to unlock 98% of the first store, (the other 2% requires you to finish the game once first, which is of course the 765 headset) with a single run. You don't go into New Game+ mode until BK is available (Because until then, none of the 'Items on sale which require a loop' will be available to you), something which I found out the hard way )
Why is that note relevant?
In theory, if you have enough time on your hands, a game doesn't count as completed as a new game until you well, actually complete week 55 and force BK to unlock. The game WILL not recognise you've even finished it the FIRST time until both conditions happen.
In turn, this means if you deliberately stall BK's unlock, and NEVER post a producer score (namely, complete the game at week 55, just run to week 54, then start over as many times as it takes), you can buy out one entire store, and have everything accessible to you (charms included) for a single shot (Hyper if you so wish) True end S rank right off the bat, and the game will note it as your first run.
You don't even need any DLC for this to happen.
TheTanStar:
What I meant was from absolutely nothing -- Like you started a new profile then played the game from beginning to end without aborting/starting a new run. I've come close to achieving it on 360 and PS3 Normal, ending up one or two weeks short due to not forcing reporters.
Daverost:
That's some interesting info. I'll see what I can do to push to the top 10. I can avoid a bad end on this run for sure, but a Good end would be better than the Normal I'm headed for.
Daverost:
A new day, a new set of questions. I managed to get into the top 10 last night, so I secured a Good end.
I'm having some problems with scoring, though. I'm barely squeaking by in a lot of festivals (by less than 200 points in some cases) and my highest score so far is 45000. I know you need 76500 for one of the trophies, so that worries me a bit. I mostly have questions on tactics.
One tactic seems to be to hit 1.50x in the main stat and try not to let it fall below about 1.45 or 1.46x. The other seems to be to hit 1.50x and use it until a Burst. The first seems like an early game tactic before you have high danketsu and the latter seems like the tactic to use after Bursts start giving good points. Does that sound right?
Should I start with a Memory Appeal every time to boost base modifiers or only in Festivals to get an early lead?
I can only assume it's going to come down to 2nd cycle+ equipment or something to boost the points I get per appeal.
