I don't think the trophies are that hard to get. (Aside from possibly Tsubaki's, Score Attack, and that blasted Level 50 Trophy).
You just need to punch Ivolt repeatedly and such.
(I got about 6-7 trophies just from doing that.)
I actually do generally support the "DLC is stupid and evil" comments. I feel it does, however, have a place. Such as replacing all those websites/interviews/novels I've had to thumb through because someone felt the only way to make sense of the story/fill in details was to pack it into 300 pages of text. Text which may never end up being released in english. And then there's the animes....
That's about the gist of it. It can improve an interesting premise for those that want that, but unfortunately it's overly abused lately.
And such.
