Looks like that there are really good trophies so far, some of 'em aren't quite easy so yeah I'm cool with trophies on this game... Hate it when trophies are way too easy
Desc: Took the first steps towards challenging an unjust fate.
How to unlock: Complete the battle against the Manasvin Warmech.
Instrument of Dissent
Desc: Survived the Purge to confront a greater peril
How to unlock: Complete Chapter 1.
Instrument of Tragedy
Desc: Strode into danger's den and paid the consequences.
How to unlock: Complete Chapter 2.
Instrument of Flight
Desc: Slipped through the net and lived to flight another day.
How to unlock: Complete Chapter 3.
Just a quick question, and a lil off topic, hope you wouldn't mind. I'm currently at chapter 3, and I wouldn't mind helping out to give a simple walkthrough, although there might be missing chests or no description about quest because my knowledge of Japanese is quite low...but still manageable to go thorough the game.

Thanks alot. I've added them to the first post. Of course you can help out with the walkthrough . It doesn't matter if there are chests missing etc, we can add them later. The main aim of this project is to get people to the end. I'll create a threads for all the chapters we know so far so people can begin contributing.
Ah thanks. I've began threads for Chapters 2 - 4. I can't remember the title for Chapter 5 except that it has Woods/Forest in the name. I'll add the thread as soon as I find out.
Whoops, apparently I didn't delete my post fast enough.
[this is the same as the one that xYuuki posted for completing chapter 4; I like his translation better ]
Resolution to Counterattack
Proof of a decision to fight back against the fate that entangled you.
Requirements: Complete Chapter 5.
[this is actually entering chapter 6]
Yearning for the Past
Proof of nostalgia felt for the days gone by while on the run.
Requirements: Start Chapter 6.
I think all of the chapter trophies from the second bronze one (脅威への覚悟) to the first silver one (絶望への勇気) are given at the start of chapters, not after completing the previous chapter. I.e., when you complete a chapter and you save when prompted then quit the game, you don't get the trophy.
Here are the trophies through the start of chapter 8. Improved translation are always welcome (please save me from my poor English), and I'm including the Japanese names so we don't accidentally post multiple translations of an already listed one like I did. :p
死闘への激情 Passion for a Desperate Struggle
Proof of entering the tightly guarded enemy's camp with determination.
Requirement: Start Chapter 7
恩讐への葛藤 Entanglement of Love and Hate
Proof of arriving at the end of the run from guilt.
Requirement: Start Chapter 8
@xYuuki
I really like your translations! They feel completely natural while capturing the essence of the meaning.

Obtaining the 百識の賢人 trophy lets you install Sazh's theme from the special menu (Title Menu => Special)

Reason: Added trophies through the start of chapter 8.
I'm confused how everyone is getting consistent English translations. If you play with an English PSN account, does it show English trophies? If so, I don't have to bother posting my own (poor) English translations.

Yeah, all of the trophy names are the official English ones. Another thing the PS3 does that I thought was neat is switch the X and O buttons back to the NA/EU style when you play Japanese titles. It even changes the button icons in the game itself.
Anyone know what trophies unlock what themes?
I am not sure but once I got the The All Knowing Sage Gold Trophy I think I unlocked Sazh theme in the main menu under the option SPECIAL.
You need complete information, i.e. the R1 screen/enemy report needs completely filled out. You can actually do this without libra by just fighting an enemy enough times but libra is the fastest way to do it. (One cast of libra won't fill in everything.)
Instrument of Faith (for chapter 11) is a silver trophy. Chapter 12 has no trophy. And beating the game (chapter 13) is
Spoiler:
Instrument of Change: Witnessed the dawn of a new crystal legend. Gold trophy. Unlocks Hope XMB theme.
Also I think that Limit Breaker (the 100k damage one) unlocks the Vanille XMB theme, but not sure. Mine is unlocked and I don't know what other one it would have been.
