Skipping out on a play log again since it’s too late to start playing and recording the gameplay. ^^ I’ll do my best to continue with it tomorrow. I just had some errands and such to do today. 
Partially translated trophy list
Edited on December 10th, 2013: I substituted my crappy translations with the official XSEED ones. 😛 But I left the descriptions as well as the original Japanese trophy titles alone for the most part. FYI, most of the official English translations are not literal translations at all. Oh, and the character names are the official English ones too.
Original description: Taken from http://ysc084.wiki.fc2.com/wiki/%E3%83%88%E3%83%AD%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC and http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/ys-the-forest-of-seruseta/trophies/ (only for the hidden trophies after the story-related ones. The info about the duration-based trophies for individual characters was taken from http://k-ys7.com/ysc/a_main/data103.html). I did this as an exercise for myself and I figure people can do without the Engrish translations from Google Translate. I never aim to do literal translations and try to capture the meaning of the original text instead. There are some that aren’t translated since I can’t figure out what to translate them as. ^^ I lack vocabulary and creative writing skills. =__=~
