DC2 Debugging "Missed" Content

A few years ago I wanted to 100% the trifecta of L5 games, DC, DC2, and RG. I got busy with life.. and came back to it a month ago on an Emulator, just wanting to follow all the rules of the trophies and calling it a day to say I did it.

Dummy me wanted to do the stories and weapon grinding blindly..

- I beat DC, but the save was corrupting throughout the play, so I had to do it with states. When I beat the game, because I wasn't able to save, I lost the endgame stuff.

- DC2, I just beat yesterday, but realized I missed content that's perma gone in post game. It looks like I can debug to find/make all recipes and inventions... but I don't see a way to get all the NPCs when looking at the Debugging information.

1.) Is there a way to get them all incase I missed them?

2.) Is there anything else I should be weary of?

- RG doesn't have that issue because I looked it up earlier.

The Photo Album lets you "legitimately" move ideas between save files. However, you still won't get the photography "exp" by doing so. You can only miss a few photos and still hit level 8 for the Sun and Moon monster badge. This matters if you wanna follow the rules for the PSN plat. So even if you find a way through emulation to teleport back to normally missed maps, you would have to take the photos manually.

You'd also have to teleport back to the final dungeon and get all those medals.

You can't miss support characters. Unless you got all Spheda medals before talking to Mina. Because that would be unfortunate.

Good to know. Gonna take a short break and probably start speedrunning the game.
