dark: For the level 99 trophy, does every character need to reach level 99 or can it just be one character? Do you remember?
Every character :'(
The tropy description about beating all forms of the final boss wasn't accurate, though - popped for me after beating the 1st or 2nd one 
Hmm. What do you mean? She has more than one form? I already started breaking those honeycombs but if I need to stop, I will. XD
Also, this is going to take forever to get everyone to level 99. Not cool. I'm worried I'm going to run out of time. We are level 64 and there are 290 days left. >_<
For the A Grand Triumph trophy ("Defeated F_______ once she's reached her true potential"); you do NOT (unless it's been patched since I've played it) need to fight/break honeycomb, fight x6 (iirc?) honeycombs & fights...just the 1st story-based battle + breaking the minimum (one, I think) honeycomb & winning again at her next to weakest strength & stats; popped the trophy for me.
I remember less about leveling - just that I
- made & equipped (and/or used items, abilities, characters, and locations) that provided an EXP+ effect, and
- I seem to remember there being a trick/exploit (I'm thinking in a cave w/ one of the dragons) where you could do whatever it was, with some bar or gauge, that'd give you the option to fight the hardest (of 3?) enemies in an area, and repeatedly doing & beating this,
that made the level 99 trophy far less painful.
I didn't use the FAQ (Malduke's) that you're using, though...I used either Crystal's and/or the one on
http://ps3trophies.orgI'd say check out both of those guide's "Tips" or "Leveling" sections because, I'm positive that I read and followed what it/they said and - got that trophy pretty smoothly
