I have a trouble with trails because my ocd makes me want to get full marks on every side quest to get top ranks,so i get the good endings, and then I end up resorting to a guide which isn't fun.

It would be one thing if you could go back and do things but so many quests have limited periods to do them and only one chance to get full points.

All the trails games have only one ending with some minor variations starting in Zero based on friendship meters.

The only exception is CS4 but afaik it's not possible to miss the extra thing you need to do to get the good ending. You might have to do a bit of obnoxious back tracking but it's available any time just before the final ponr.

There's a few instances where people will acknowledge your achievements in other games like the various fishing guilds, and some quests that have a second part in another game, though I believe they stopped doing things like that starting with Cold Steel.

In CS3 onward they made it real easy. All quests are marked on the map and any NPC you haven't spoken to yet is also marked. If you clear every map of icons you'll find everything you need. For missions with different grades you can just save scum. The games have ways of telling you that you fucked up. Probably easier to just get a guide to look up the quests that have wrong options though.
