Same here, S in every level at least.

To get the 'S' achievements, you need to defeat the final boss before you fight Black Bean. Nothing else matters, mini-games included. If you don't have a save shortly before you defeated Black Bean, it sounds like you may be able to unlock it on your next playthrough, even on a different difficulty.

The achievements work, but the logic for them is very much broken.

no it didn't work,in hard mode I defeat the final boss,load the game,defeat blackbean final boss again, only the "Hard Mode Completed" achievement appear,no "S" achievement.

I'm having the opposite problem. I just got the Super Winner achievement for completing the game with an S rank, but did not get the achievement for simply completing Normal.

I left Blackbean alone and beat it without even entering his area as others said to ignore him for the S rank cheevo, so maybe after I beat him and re-beat it I'll get the game complete one... we'll see.

Just got the Hard 'S' achievement, no problem. The save you loaded had exactly 25 gold laurels? None blue, and not the one for Oblivion Abyss? And you let it get to the end of the credits? Both achievements unlock at the same place (with unlock/save point messages), but never at the same time.

@DJ Schway: You'll be able to pick that one up fine after you defeat Black Bean, so not really a problem... if we don't count the confusion, the need to defeat Tokaron twice per difficulty, or the occaisional save state mismanagement at ~5 hours a pop, anyways.

Tests:

1)
- all levels unlocked
- one normal level on clear
- Oblivion Abyss not visited
--> no achievement

2)
- all levels unlocked
- one normal level on clear
- Oblivion Abyss beaten (master)
--> normal achievement

3)
- all levels unlocked
- all normal levels master
- Oblivion Abyss not visited
--> super achievement

4)
- all levels unlocked
- all levels master (including Oblivion Abyss)
--> normal achievement, super achievement not triggering

Basically: save your 1) state thrice, then do 2) and 3) separately from the other two saves. Avoid doing 4) before 2) and 3). If you already did 4) before 2) on a single save you're SOL.

A second pre-Oblivion Abyss save is a good plan for safety, or if you really want to get Normal unlocks first, but it isn't necessary. You can also just skip the post-credit save after you defeat Tokaron the first time for Super.
