Fragment

Fragments are a gameplay element from Final Fantasy XIII-2. They can be obtained by various means, e.g.: storyline element, winning a certain battle, finding it hidden by time paradox or through discovering quests. The Fragments are said to be inscribed with tidbits of knowledge, folklore and legends from the game.

When acquired, Fragments can be traded in for special, unique skills, such as Paradox Scope in Serendipity, which will enhance gameplay. Also, when quests are completed, CP is gained to help Noel and Serah advance in the Crystarium.

There are 160 Fragments to collect in total, and there are several held in each time period. Fragments are organized into different categories, and collecting all of one allows the player to collect the Fragmented Trophy/Achievement. Collecting all 160 Fragments allows acquisition of the Defragmented Trophy/Achievement.
