People of Note is a Musical Turn Based Role Playing that has heavy musical themes scattered throughout the game. From the names of people, places, and items, all the way to how it embeds itself in its original lore! This is one of the best parts of People of Note, making interacting with NPCs and reading what they have to say truly worthwhile. They often deliver their goodies and lore in the form of puzzles, oh Iridium Studios sure loves their puzzles.

Obtaining their coveted platinum is not a difficult task; most can be obtained just by playing the game. However, while there is an option to complete the game without engaging with battles and puzzles, this guide assumes that you are fighting and solving puzzles.
Upon completing the game, you’ll have a save right before the final boss, allowing you to grab some that you’ve missed. There are two main times when you should complete companions’ quests before heading to Archaia and Scales of the World for the first time.
