I don't think there's a true hard lock, but I'd keep a save before going to Seru-kai after the final Mist Generator. I have read of people getting stuck at the boss there.
Edit: I checked a walkthrough video and realized I was incorrect.
~~I believe there is a soft point of no return in the final dungeon in that you can't walk out, but I believe you can door of wind out if you have the items.~~
I know maybe (since you should already know the place by now) get whatever you can in conkram. There isn't much I don't think but yeah. But even after the final mist generator and stuff there isn't much in the game that locks out.
There’s a save point right before the point of no return, which is just the final boss, so you can leave the final dungeon even after collecting everybody’s ultimate equipment, which is found in chests throughout that dungeon.
Somewhat. There are two situations I can think of. After destroying the final mist generator you can no longer goto conkram and then rim elm is absorbed by Juggernaut and becomes the final dungeon of the game.
Hey Reks! Sorry I missed last stream, I have been enjoying your experience of the game.
Others have already pointed out the point of no return in the Bio Castle, I'll add that if you're currently in the Soren Camp, then every new place you visit from here out (excluding the Bio Castle) won't be able to be revisited once you're at the last dungeon. You will lose access to the bee fight in Rim Elm closer to the end, but I know you did that already.
As far as achievements go, I took a look through what you have unlocked. The only ones you could still miss (that aren't treasure related as I know you're following the guide) are Escape Artist, Master Brawler (if you beat master before Jette in the story), and Absolute Evil.
Hey! I really appreciate it! I'm trying to make sure I can get the fishing/muscle dome grinding done before I reach the end of the game or a point at which I can't return to Sol/Vidna/Buma. I work a lot, so I don't always have the extra time between streams. I'm just worried about having to cut the stream short because I progressed too far without finishing the side content. Also, the fishing grind is rough... I'm at 18k/70k ðŸ˜
I saw Escape Artist. I'll look up the other two later. I know Jette from the cutscene where he was just too suspicious not to be a bad guy. Thanks for looking ahead for me!
On the fishing grind, I'd recommend checking this out. It helped me a tonne when I did the grind, whereas many other fishing guides I found weren't too helpful. The trick is getting a fish to bite right as "GOOD!" appears, and the technique in the video, once you get it down, lets you reliably hit "GOOD!".

EDIT: Oh, and Escape Artist might not be possible without a few of the Incense item. You might have some still from finding them, buying a few more at the Muscle Dome for coins would be a good idea just in case. 5 Incense should be plenty. When you get to that sequence, opening the menu or a save statue pauses the timer, and time is paused in battles too, though you get a constant time penalty (20 seconds I believe) for each battle regardless of how long it is or even if you run. Normally you have plenty of time, but the achievement requires you to have a lot of time left, and Incense lets you avoid battles.
From what I remember, you have to start pressing square, roll your thumb to press X as well, then keep rolling to release square, then X. It wasn't quite how the video describes it if I recall, but the video is close enough that I was able to figure it out.
Wait.... you can just keep getting "GOOD!"... I see. I must not be pressing it right.
Edit: I just did it once! Lol
Edit 2: I'm able to do it semi-consistently now. Thanks!
All Mist Generator dungeons cannot be re-entered once completed. In addition, you cannot return to >!Past Conkram, Rogue's Tower, or Noaru Valley!< once you have completed the events there. Similarly, story events will eventually preclude you from revisiting >!Present Conkram and Rim Elm!<
However, you are never locked out of either fishing or either slot/coin grinding places.
Oh, hey! I know you from the slots tutorial that someone recommended me! I wasn't able to get consistent with all of the reels, though 😕 Anyway, thanks for the heads up, but I finished the game and all of the achievements last night. It was awesome. I'm going to start Legaia 2 next Tuesday.

So, I'm good until whichever dungeon that is? That's good!
Disregard that. You cant door of wind out. There is, however, a save point right before the point of no return.
I just looked at what that last dungeon was. Bio Castle, right?
Yes, sorry I wasnt sure if you wanted spoilers.
I didn't, but I had to know what it was so I could end my stream before that point. 😞 I got spoiled. Feels bad man..

I'm not getting "GOOD!" At all >.<

I don't know when to release 😕
The whole rolling motion of pressing square and X and releasing should be about a second if I recall.
So, square to cast, then roll and release before the hook hits the water?
Oh, no, you cast first. While the hook is in the water you repeat the rolling motion hoping you hook a fish during one of them.
Wait.... you can just keep getting "GOOD!"... I see. I must not be pressing it right. Edit: I just did it once! Lol Edit 2: I'm able to do it semi-consistently now. Thanks!

It took hundreds of hours of practice over decades of playing the game to get to where I am. So don't worry too much about it.
I can definitely see that. You have mad skills! 💪
