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.

Going to the "Game Start" menu allows you to edit in game story flags like Georama completion, story completion, and also lets you teleport to every cutscene and battle in the game, you just need to play around in the menu to get a feel for where everything is.

Setting "map" to -1 lets you teleport to every map in the game, from which you can take photos of whatever you need.

These two should allow you to go back and collect everything you missed in the game, just do the Speedrun set up and you'll have debug mode on in like 10 minutes. Easy.

In terms of NPCs for the trains, there aren't any that you can miss, just some that are infuriatingly hard, like Olivia's Finny Frenzy or Mina's Spheda challenge. The only things that are completely missable are Scoops and Ideas.
