Tales of Vesperia Save Point Checklist

Keeping track of every save point for the “Backup Plan” Trophy is a real ordeal, and it’s extremely easy to miss one. A full replay is going to be a good 7-8 hours. So as I was forced to do so myself, partially as a check to make sure I was getting every single one, I made sure to position my character clearly in the middle of the save book, indicating I definitely touched it, and took a screen capture, and then saved, and then marked it on a spreadsheet. So here is the checklist that I made, hopefully it will make things easier for you, too.

If you want to follow a speedrun of the main game, I was using https://www.neoseeker.com/tales-of-vesperia/faqs/3058487-definitive-edition-speedrun.html

And if you want a video of each instead of static captures, then I used this as reference for a couple I was unsure of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACrMymssYog
