Any% and NG+ are pretty obvious, but what is the definition for 100%?
All stars? (120 stars + 40 challenge stars. This is obviously part.) All achievements? (these are tracked by save file) All quests? Shop sold out? Max book levels? (distinct from shops for remastered)
Personally, I would lean towards all stars, achievements and quests, but could see an argument for any of those. It'd be nice to have confirmation before doing a run to make sure my run is valid, or doesn't waste time farming unnecessarily.
Having now attempted a run of what I leaned towards: no, bad idea.
All stars + quests is fun and interesting. Achievements turn into a needless grind, with the 3,000 word achievement existing. I finished all stars at less than 1,500. So, I would go with all stars at a bare minimum, but do think all quests should be a part as well. Other opinions?
I would probably say all stars including bonus levels, but I don't know if I would ever run it.
I agree with "all stars", achievements are tedious and pointless because of what you mentioned. Buying out the shop would result in a similar pointless grind at the end too.
Right, but that still leaves the question of the quests- should they be a part of the definition? They don't carry a grind and do require shifting playstyles throughout, which I think is interesting.
I would agree on making quests part of 100%, adding a bit of mix up and as far as I remember none of them are too tedious or long.
...But to be fair because of their rewards you'd probably want to do them anyway :D
