Cross-Save FAQ
Q1: Where can I use Cross-Save in game?
A1: In the main menu, go to "OPTIONS" and then select "Cross-Save".
Q2: What kind of content can I sync with Cross-Save?
A2: Players can sync unlocked costumes and titles.
Q3: Can I use Cross-Save to sync save data with another account?
A3: Cross-Save can only be used to sync save data within the same account.
Q4: If I start a new game on my PS Vita and sync the save data with my PS3, will the unlocked costumes and titles on my PS3 become locked again?
A4: When you use Cross-Save, the save data on the server and the local save data will be compared. The Cross-Save will only unlock items that are both unlocked in the server data and locked in the local data.
This means that unlocked costumes and titles will not become locked after using Cross-Save.
Q5: I had all costumes unlocked on PS3, and synced the save data with my PS Vita, but didn't get the trophy on PS Vita that requires all costumes to be obtained.
A5: Trophy conditions cannot be fulfilled by data obtained via Cross-Save.
To earn these trophies on PS Vita, players must fulfill the unlock conditions through regular gameplay.
A special icon will indicate which costumes and titles have been obtained via Cross-Save. The icon will disappear once they have been earned through normal gameplay.
