I was platinuming every FF game, then I arrive at FF9 and I said, "well this is where the streak ends"
Set up a remote play on a laptop and set up a routine to autopress the button, I won't bother doing this but my brother did for his shiny plat!
Yeah me too, jump rope can be done like that too, only hard part is leaving the game open for a day and not touching the PlayStation
@@jbrooker1989Normally I’m against using third party tools for this, but the jump rope trophy honestly deserves to be cheated.
Omg, yes. That jump rope minigame was horrible. @@muffetmissulena6540
@@Drakevid I could never get to 100 even in that minigame. I just didn't bother with trophies for that game.
Chocobo racing in ff x gave me a mental breakdown and now I will never be the same.
Weird they were easy to get. Took an hour to get the race done. Lightning dodging was a bit harder.
As soon as I saw you had to dodge lightning in FF10, I didn't even bother with platinum. I can't even dodge 3 in a row. Who has the patience/focus to do 200??? Props to whoever those folks are
And then there's the 1000 jump rope minigame in ff9 😆 🤣 😂
The lightning dodging one is actually not as bad as it sounds (i got it on the 2nd try). I found the chocobo racing and that butterfly minigame to be the ones that really made this platinum hard
There's a place that you can cheese it a little by "forcing" the lightning to strike so its easy to predict.
I'd rather platinum X twice over than IX once, I'd say IX is insane
I can do it easily on the ps2 but the remasters are different, can barely get 10
I was never into final fantasy growing up as a kid, but I recently got the plat for 16, which then prompted me to try the 7 remake and I've had an absolute blast. Will definitely be getting more plats from the series!
I can't get the platinum for 16. That Garuda combo that you have to do mid air won't trigger no matter if I do it correctly or not. I also visited every place on the map and that didn't trigger for some reason either. After that, I was like screw it.
Loved the video. Was never a trophy hunter but love watching people trophy hunt. Its always so interesting.
FF7 Rebirth needs a new tier: SE Hates Us
Just beat bonds of friendship last night, so freaking hard
@@BHPOfficialTo be a hero is no joke either.
@@user-bn3ut9jv7eAfter playing BoF enough and understanding the mechanics of bosses I was able to beat To Be a Hero first try. It wasn’t really all that bad as you have the prior knowledge of how most bosses worked from BoF.
@pphead4312 Fair enough. After 10s of attempts on Bonds, I got too comfortable using zack with cloud. Yes, most of it only used cloud, but when I needed to use sephy....I could not use him for the life of me. That was my shortfall. But, yes... it was much easier and quicker than Bonds of gayshit.
I got the platinum in 188 hours. I care for my nan full time so had bags of time on my hands. Platinumed 2 months after release. Cactuar crush with Aerith is horrible, Choco glide 3 is torture and the final battle arena is tough as nuts. But its possible! Good luck
I'm still waiting on that 13 trilogy re-release. Mark my words, if they do that I'll plat all 3 of them!
Still got my PS4 with NT set up. You know I like that game and have like 300 hrs in it. So I wouldn't mind helping you with the trophies, even if I'm not planning on getting them myself.
I wanna platinum FFXIII but the treasure hunting trophy sounds miserable. I have the platinum for Lightning Returns and loved that one. But XIII might be one I skip
Treasure Hunter is not that bad in comparison of other trophies. I don't about the PR version but FF4 3D has the most stupid trophies in existence.
With guides and routes that made the grinding much less tedious as it was before, Treasure Hunter is easier and less time consuming than it was before.
I platted all 3 and I think LR was the most enjoyable.
@@groudonvert7286if you think 4ds is bad play after years and try to 100% that. Basically just think of farming pink tails without sirens then do it several times over xD
@@snuggie1849 I never played After Years, so I'll take your word ahah
Ooh I love the format of this one! I’d absolutely love to see the guides for each game - trophies are so addictive.
Since the 13 trilogy is my favorite i was so adamant about getting all 3 platinums on both PS3 and Steam :D now im working on NT cause i just got 15s base platinum.
I currently have plats for 7R, 7CCR, X, X-2, XII:TZA, XIII, XIII-2, LR, XV, XVI, Type-0, TFBL, and working on the one for SoP:FFO. Might someday go back to I-IX.
WoFF is one I quit on because the mini-games are SOOOOOOO bad, on top of the extreme tedium.
X, XIII and XVI were ones where the platinum grind negatively affected my enjoyment of the game because of the tedium. X-2 Final Mission maybe a little as well.
7R, XIII-2 and XII:TZA I'd say improved my enjoyment of them. 7R Hard Mode and XII:TZA Trials were challenging yet fun. XIII-2's endings are all interesting and worth seeing.
Nice video! I would like a guide/experience telling of platinum all the main FF games :D
nice vid, agree with your list! I am personally rly proud of my regular ffxiv ps4 & 5 platin ^^ just took me 3000h ...
genuinely think chocobo dungeon is the hardest platinum, having to not only beat a 500 floor dungeon but beat it multiple times because you need a drop from the final boss that is an rng drop is what made me give up on it for awhile at least.
You could well be right....
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10-2, 12, 13, 15, Crisis Core, WoFF, Theatrhythm and 7 Remake for me have been platted.
9 can suck a fuck.
I can now add Type 0 to this
Great video! I'll probably try for the Pixel Remakes first, thanks for the heads up!
Type 0 is actually super easy and can speedrun it in 8 hours if you skip cutscenes, And as someone who also did Dissida NT it's not too bad but it is a huge grind but i was thinking of doing the free version at as well so if you want a grind partner i wouldn't mind
dodging 200 lightning bolts isn't too difficult once if you know where the sweet spot on the map to trigger a guaranteed lightning strike is.
The Chocobo racing minigame however is downright just designed wrong. Had me up till 3:00AM with those jank ass hitboxes, RNG, and camera angle transitions that mess up your directional inputs. Whoever designed that needs to be banished to tend to the fields on the moons of Jupiter.
X was also my favorite.... It was also my first platinum on PSN ever. I don't think its as hard as it really is "time consuming" but i know that game front to back. Awesome video!
I thought it'd be a good idea to try for all the mainline FF plats since I had a few already. I quit 9 due to the trophy where you need to win a "guess the cup" minigame a bunch of times in a row. As far as I know I can't cheat that one like the jump rope trophy.
I may try again, since I am getting close to finishing 14s plat and only have easy ones left (aside from 9) when that's finally done.
Any thoughts on Rebirth so far?
Been slowly working through the plat over the past month and im about half way through, so far id say its rather easy and pretty fun
Great video! I would love to see you do platinum guides on these games 😊
Thats a lot to ask, i doubt he would want to go over all om them again, you probably have to make those videos while going for the plat at that time, or just after you finish it
If people felt it was helpful, I replay these games all the time, and would happily put the research into it :)
@@Joesephyr I would probably be burned out after these very hard plats xD, but more power to you if you would do it, and you are a mega fan of the series ofcourse
@@Joesephyryes please make a guide most of them if possible
Little correction to the Treasure Hunter from XIII.
You don't have to have all of the items in your inventory at once, when you are sure you have upgraded an item to its final form and don't need it you can sell it. As long as you have held every single unique weapon and accessory in your inventory at some point on your playthrough it's enough. (There are some really handy checklists out there for tracking this). Also the trophy only requires weapons and accessories, other items are not needed.
And it's only missable if you go selling your one time items before upgrading them (if my memory serves me), as long as you upgrade everything before selling them it shouldn't be missable.
Thats great to hear, thank you for the clarification!
To add a bit, you can sell everything in the game without problem, every weapons can be purchased in shops, most equipments can be bought in shops or are unique items found in unmissable chests or mission rewards.
You can sell everything BUT the Elemental Charms. If you sold the Elemental rings, dismantling the Elemental Charms will give you the basic Rings (only equipments you have to upgrade that can't be bought in any shop).
For the other trophies, not getting 5 stars immediately can be extremely tedious to do again, because the early missions have tight objectiv battle time (it's based on yhow advanced you are in Crystarium and Equipments upgrade), making them much harder to 5 stars in post-game.
The Turtle success is not about Adamantoise, who are indeed weak to death, but about Long Gui, one of 13's Superbosses. This turtle is immune to Death.
And if I can recommend a guide for Plat 13, I recommend to follow the plat% speedrun guide. One of the reason being the speedrunners route the run so you Basically finish all tedious trophies at the same time (Treasure Hunter and the Crystarium).
thank you for making this video 🙏
i'm trying to do my own plat journey of the final fantasy games
I really hope Rebirth made the ultima tier, that one was punishing.
Anyone that used remote play for FFIX cheated the jump rope trophy.
the ps5 trophies for 14 are actually insane there's so much stuff on there that most people wont even get close to during normal gameplay
its absurd just how time consuming it is and how out of your way you have to go for it, i have almost 6000 hours on 14 and i wouldnt have the platinum if i played it on ps5
As someone who is trying to complete both of the FF14 trophy lists I completely agree with your rating of "ULTIMA" for both lists. It is a great game and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves MMOs and FF. Especially since they extended the free trial to Stormblood.
While it is easy to get most of the PS4 trophies it takes some time to get through the story of ARR (if you're not skipping cutscenes) and has two trophies that make it such a huge grind:
- "An Adventurer's Life" for completing 1000 levequests. The trophy takes almost 6 months due to the limited amount of allowances you need to start the quests.
- "Destiny's" for completing 1000 FATEs. Fates aren't difficult but doing 1000 of them is just really time consuming and in my opinion really boring. It's the last trophy I need on PS4 and I'm currently only at 464.
The PS5 platinum trophy is much more time consuming. It requires the completion of the main story up to the end of the post Shadowbringer quests which alone takes a few hundred hours. For some reason they decided to raise the requirement to 3000 FATEs and added trophies for crafting 5000 (I'm currently at 300) and gathering 8000 collectables (currently at 603). It doesn't make the platinum hard or fun just mind numbingly tedious.
I have earned 127 out of 159 trophies and wouldn't recommend going for the 100% of the PS5 list to anyone who values their time and sanity 😆. Some trophies are really grindy (344 triple triad cards, island sanctuary, catch 1460 unique fish, leveling all characters in the trust system to 90 etc.), some are luck based (reaching the end of both treasure map dungeons) and some are really difficult (savage raids, criterion dungeons, clearing all 3 deep dungeons solo etc).
Ultimate raids are luckily not a part of the trophy list yet but trophies based on ultimate don't seem unlikely anymore since they added trophies for comleting the deep dungeons solo.
Sorry for the long comment. I'm just really passionate about FF14 and trophy hunting 😅
Never apologise for a long comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to speak up so much on the subject!
I'm super close to the PS5 one, I've got all the collectibles, it's just the FATEs left to go now, and I haven't loaded it up on PS4 in quite a while, so I'll have to see if they'll retroactively pop for me, as I know I've done the leves (thank you Coffee Biscuits back in ShB!), but that was what stopped me with PS5!
I'm at 14 FF platinums at the moment. Many more I'd like to get. Slowly chipping away on XIV (PS5), and up to 3 on the pixel remasters. Cheers for the tip of speeding up time makes the IX speedrun easier. Haven't got to that yet but it's less intimidating knowing that's an option.
I was on a bit of a platnum journey and got 7, 8, 9, and 10. Agree with your rankings on those. 9 was a nightmare and I put 150 hours on my playthrough of 10. Started X-2, but I think I had burnt myself out by then. Maybe I'll go back and finish it one day.
In 15 I never camped out and always went to a place for more exp. Which meant at the end I had to just go out kill some mobs then make camp to increase the camping skill. Don't be like me, the extra xp really isn't worth the extra time. Lol
Are you me? I completely agree with your list, and I would even put FF13’s trophy higher up because I had to grind turtles for traps for dozens of hours. Totally agreed that Crisis Core and WoFF are weaker entries. I am also working on Dissidia, but unfortunately on Steam :( Good luck!
Good luck to you too! Nice to meet a fellow hunter!
Im currently trying to platinum 10. Ive done 6, 7, 8, 7Remake and Rebirth so far.
i platinum'd FFX, and my god the freaking grind you have to sibject yourself to, MAKE SURE you pick expert sphere grid for easier time, cuz if memory serves expert only have around 750 nodes you have to fill in, whereas standard has over 800, and you have to do it for all 7 chars (thank god for tonberry)
I know this isn't in scope - if you want beyond ultima level - try and get every achievement in FFXIV
Ohhhhhh yus
I think I'd originally planned to get every FF Plat before 7 Remake came out, but ended up not bothering as WOFF and XIV would have been a part of that. Certainly a bunch more out now as well!
Agreed on X & X-2, I think the only reason I was even able to manage those was because I didn't have a full time job at the time lol.
I don't think I agree on Type-0 though, it's been years since I played it but I recall it being quite easy and very quick. One thing to note on that is that the Plat doesn't actually require you to complete anywhere near as much content as the game actually has. I looked up some of the other content and yeah, if you did need to fully complete everything in that game it'd be a nightmare.
I haven't actually played an FF in a while, but man if they do finally drop XIII remasters I'd be jumping on that before anything else. I enjoyed every moment of getting all 3 of those plattys.
I did the 10,000 kills in FF9 at Gizamaluke's Grotto since there is a higher chance of getting 4 enemies in 1 fight. I did this with the high speed and max damage manually. It took me roughly 12-13 hours of straight grinding. Only platinums I’m missing from the main series is 12, 13, 13-2, Lightning Returns and 14. I don’t really plan on doing the spin offs or I think 14 either.
I did ff X as my first ff game and first 100%. It was a grind but it was a good time. Thank god Yojimbo was there to OS some battles lol
Rebirth’s plat does ask a lot of you, but the difficulty/time requirement is overhyped. I see alotta people saying it takes like 200 hours. Maybe, if you don’t have thumbs. I got the plat a couple weeks ago and my final time was 124 hours (which is still a lot don’t get me wrong). I’m not a super gamer or anything either. I got lost, stuck on certain parts in hard mode, I died on the challenges quite a bit, etc. It’s difficult, but it’s not THAT difficult. I definitely have done much harder plats.
Type-0 was such a fun and easy to do Platinum. It only took me 1 and a half playthroughs to platinum. Please check it out for those who haven't played it. It's so fun.
I’ve never earned a Platinum Trophy, I think the closest I got was in Tekken 5 or 6, the only thing I was missing was beating some sort of optional giant robot thing on a hard difficulty. I’ve only recently started caring about the achievements, or at least checking for them. They’re so baked into the landscape of gaming that even “gamified” stuff has achievements like computers and certain work environments.
I finally started the FF14 trial by the way, I’m already 70 with my black mage after like 3 weeks. It’s more addicting than morphine and speed.
2:00, ooh I do remember agonizing over missing some chests in the FF Origins version for 2. Some are in fact missable. X-2 has gotta be HARD, I remember my sister and I spending hours upon hours on just the various side quests alone WITHOUT trophies.
My first plat trophy was tales of arise. Once I did that I felt the need to get more play trophies it was weird lol
I actually think Type-0 should be moderate to easy since the time constraints become a non-issue on subsequent play-thrus.
i was so pissed i missed the Trine Enemy skill in FF7 blocking materia overlord
I 100% agree with the ffx chocobo racing, I've never had a hard time with it, just tedious.
Miscounting lightning strikes however....
I followed a damn guide for X-2s story trophy and still had to start a new game cause I somehow got 99%.
i just knew right away x and x-2 were going to be ultima tier, i know from first and second hand experience
So... I have FFX, FFXII, FFXV, FFXVI, Type-0, and WoFF done. Very close to FFVIIR, and FFXIV but I just need to find the time and motivation to sit down and do it. FFX-2.... I don't know how I missed something on chapter 3. I used a guide, read back over it, but no. Kept me from getting one of the break limit gear items and killed the motivation to continue. Maybe one day. I'm surprised to see you rank FFX so high; I find it more of a time commitment than a difficulty skill check.
Is it still possible to do dissidia nt?
Thank you for this video
Please make the guide that would be amazing
What is the guitar theme that plays through this? Is this Vincent’s theme. Ugh. Now I have to google it. But HOW?
FF9 is also my favorite FF entry (aside from FFT), but during the era when trophies didn't even exist, as a completionist myself I couldn't be bothered with obtaining Excalibur II & that atrocious jumping rope mingame.
An FFT enjoyer is a friend of mine! Just need that remaster to happen so we can plat that, right?!
dude shouts out fellow dissidia NT enjoyer. i’d love to help you plat that if that’s still a goal
Don't tempt me, because I know I will try this, and I know 9 and 10 will be where I learn how stubborn I am or where my breaking point is
Interesting take on the platinums. For the most part I agree except FF9. I would drop that to moderate. Rebirth Plat is probably around the hard category. Maybe FF 10 drop to hard as well. Obviously FF14 expansions have the hardest of any trophies in the series.
Wake up babe, new Josephyr just dropped!
Awww, too sweet x
Josephyr: "Final Fantasy IX is my favorite Final Fantasy."
Me: Subscribe
But really I do like your tier list. I like to hunt trophies too but that Jump rope minigame...
Biggest question.....did u get the jump rope trophy legit or did u use remote play trick?
“no one forgets”
adhd would like a word
I'm currently going through the mainline final fantasy games and get all the platinum trophies. Currently on FF X, getting the sphere grid maxed out right now.
Currently working on this goal myself in order of original release, so I’ve only just finish IV cause I’m platinum’ing other games too like assassin’s creed. Personally I plan to do all trophies like XIV’s stuff.
It's a fun journey, and a long one too! Good luck!
Wait. Sephiroth on hard mode in FF7 Remake is simple and easy? Im being gaslighted over here.
Great video! I almost agree with everything! ^^
I'm trying to get all Steam achievements (since i dont have the other consoles) for all FF games and was scared of Dissidia NT but might give it a go xD
In Steam we have the spin-off of FF IV:After years, i don't really know if the game is in PS or XBOX with achievements, but i remember that 100%, it was funny but kinda tidious haha
Also... I didn't know FF XIV had achievements in PS... I love that game, with all my heart, but that's evil xD
No plat for After Years, though to be honest I count my blessings for that one, I... Was not a fan XD
I have platinumded FF 1-5 (working on 6 currently) 7, FFR, 9, 10, 13, 13-2, 13: LR, 15,16, and Worlds, Just need to fully lvl a character to 9 star in Final Bar Line and beat Minerva in FF7 Crisi Core. Plan to go through the ff games I am missing but with so many ff games out and releasing like rabbits, feels like a task I will be on til the day I die. I agree with your list for the most part but for ff9 I would personally put it at hard due to I used remote play and a script made by fans to get jump rope king.
The FF games I’ve ‘platinumed’ are:
7 remake
7 rebirth (defo ultima this. Me and Zack are no longer friends)
7 crisis core reunion
10
10-2
13
13-2
13-LR
15
Everything but the FF7 related games. I played on my Xbox and was gonna redo them now that I’ve switched to PS5, and as much as ff is my favourite franchise. I dunno if I have it in me. To grind 10 and 10-2 again
Rebirth is definitely Ultima tier. That shit is brutally difficult
You are not expected to do the Ultimates in FFXIV, that will probably be trophies for a future expansion. :)
OG FF7 ; the movers only award AP, up to 7200 in triple growth weapons.
The magic pots award up to 8k, more with exp plus.
Joe do you like Fire Emblem?
I do! I've recently enjoyed Engage a great deal! I struggled with 3 Houses because of the Slice of Life aspect, but have gone back and played the GBA games and really liked them :D
@@Joesephyr Same here with the GBA games. That's the golden-age of FE for me. Maybe someday you can talk about your favorite strategy games so we can hear your opinions on them, since I know FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre are also games you like :)
The dodge 200 lightning strikes in FF X is by far the hardest thing in the whole game. And in FF IX you have to jump the rope 1000 times.. everything else is manageable, but these 2.. damn
The Tierlist is pretty solid! There are just 1 or 2 title I would move up or down, but this is just a point of view.
I would put FF IX it into the hard Tier, because except that horrible rope jumping minigame, nothing is really challenging into it.
And I would put World of Final Fantasy and Type-O into moderate Tier. WWoF the only thing that really sucked was that board game to play to get the mirage and Type-0 basicly doesn't ask you to go through everything in the game. I really don't like that game and I was pretty happy when I got that Platinum, but I'm sure if they asked more to do, I would defintily out it into hard tier too.
Note for FFX-2: The game has to be done in 2 playthrough, just because there are mandatory missables with which side you want to go (with or against Neo-Yevon)
I'm very interessted into going to platinum Dissidia NT. I have to play it again, because I only played it when it got released and I haven't even finished the story mode.
Just wanted to note for anyone who needs it. In the pixel remasters, Bestiary entries carry over to any save file. Save in multiple slots and go back anytime to get hard to spawn monsters.
I got the Platinum for FFXIV on PS3 while it existed. I can definitely say that is much easier than the PS4 and PS5 versions. Difficulty was up to the first Coil of Bahamut. The stress was just hoping your frame rate didn't drop to single digits during the fights.
FF7 made me quit my platinum hunt because I failed the date with Barrett and didn't want to restart. Glad I stopped early because of FF9 jump rope and everything FF10
Only FF games I platinumed are FF13-2 and FF7 Remake. Currently trying to platinum FF16
FFX was actually pretty easy to platinum. The worst bit about it was grinding the sphere grid but it wasnt difficult once you levelled up the monster arena. Time consuming, yes. Difficult, no.
Got the plat in ff7 rebirth. It was so grueling i decided i might as well just plat remake and OG as well they'll be a cakewalk after rebirth. And they were. Now crisis core reunion is free and im doing that. After the plat for rebirth every game i play is easy now lol
Hey i started working my way through this last year. i have the majority, currently working through ffx2 and ff14 (ps4), i would be down to help with NT as that is one i have been working on as well inbetween other titles. i got ff13-2 an dlightning retuns back in the day but will need to dig up my ps3 for original 13. great list, really enjoyed watching it. Chocobo dungeon being taken of ps+ also killed my run, i was maybe 40% through it lol
I did the 1,000 jumps on Jump Rope as a kid (as my mate LIED to me and claimed you would get a rare weapon, I didn’t forgive him for several weeks because of that). Anyway….i did that once and only once. When it came to the PS4 FF9, I was having none of it and used that remote play thing to just cheese it (as a majority of people did). There was no way I was going through that hell again lol….
I don’t know what they were thinking with 9’s trophy list. 10,000 enemies, every ATE (though I ended up seeing some scenes I’d never seen before so I liked that), all chests and the card game…I can manage all that. But the Jump Rope can die in a fire.
FFX’s I don’t find nearly as bad, though some parts of it are just tedious (and I made it worse for myself as I wanted 255 luck and 99,999 HP with everyone).
I still wish the Pixel Remasters had the GBA extra dungeons and content. I know a lot of people aren’t that fond of them, but I actually liked the extra parts of 5 and 6.
Edit: And absolutely agree with Crisis Core being boring to platinum.
I’m at 15 Platinums out of my 21 goal total. I count all the core numbered games and their sequels with Crisis Core being my biggest stretch to make the list. I’m on FF14 right which I deemed impossible but I’m currently cheesing it. Good luck to anyone on this journey.
The difference between the PS4 and PS5 FFXIV platinums is crazy.
I've got the PS4 platinum and found it a nice challenge, but the grinds required to get the PS5 plat is so much more. The trophies for 3000 fates and 8000 gathering collectibles are probably the biggest walls for me. Slowly getting there with fates as I always need them for something else, but gathering collectibles is a mamoth task; I don't think I'm even near close to those.
I’ve been working on all the mainline games and their direct sequels, I have some of the easier ones, so far 7, 8, 12, and 16. was working on 9 when I got sidetracked with star ocean, but man platinuming is a big undertaking lol. I figured I’ve been playing these games my whole life, might as well go the extra mile for each one for that pretty little ribbon to tie off each chapter kinda thing
Thats pretty much how I felt about them, be nice to have a thing that I can show people :D
The 12 platinum is quite challenging. Especially the trials. Have to add, I NEVER used the cheat weapon Seitengrat. I have heard it makes 100% much easier.
I platinum FFIX not too long ago... I used remote play and wrote a script for inputs to get both 10,000 kills and do the jump rope.
Ive got 1-8, 16, theatrhythm, stranger of paradise, and crisis core reunion. So like all of the easy ones...
Nothing wrong with that, Platinums are still hard work even at the easier end! Should be very proud! X
Glad to see my prediction was right. (I predicted FF9 would be in the hardest tier). Absolutely brutal game to platinum.
Also im doing the 10000 enemies on 9 manually. I scripted the jumprope so i felt i needed to lol
I never played NT (although I do own it) but I loved the original on PSP. I'd be down to try and grind some trophies.
Wow that's crazy to see...and funny story, I'm right now in my platinum run for all Final Fantasy games haha, finished 1-5 so far and I Looooove FF9 as well and I know that the plat will be pure pain even that I played trough it over 10times in maybe round about 20years haha
I think the sphere grid one mostly comes naturally with a few hour grind at the end in which you can fill up the other character's grids with anything using Clear Spheres to wipe out stat spheres you cbf grinding for. Magic Defence spheres are the easiest to grind for this purpose. It's completely pointless though in gameplay terms, and it's still a 100 hour plat which was mostly for me monster RNG. It did teach me to never leave the hardest trophies to last when hunting other games; oftentimes I would do that with other games and it just becomes a psychological barrier more than anything.
With the lightning one there is a spot that consistently spawns it and once you get the rhythm down it just becomes a mental thing. I think it's better to just not count them and wait until you fuck up. I think I had over 100 more than needed but I didn't really care.
X-2 is horrible if like me you're trying for the perfect run in a single playthrough. I got about 30 hours in before realising I screwed up one of the camera bits and then saved. It's not TOO bad if you just go through NG+ a bit but me being me that destroyed all motivation I had to continue. It's not surprising that you still only hit 99% while following a guide; I was following a couple purely due to how inconsistent they were.
In my opinion though I feel like if I can plat X then anyone can. I'd probably put it at the second highest tier and I feel like the only game that belongs up there is IX. There's just no boosting your way out of the skipping rope.
I've done 1-3 of the Pixel Remasters so far and even without the boosts they're pretty easy (I did turn movement speed up though).
XII is my favourite game in the series yet I've still put off finishing the platinum trophy for years due to the bloody Quickening one which if you know how that works you'll understand. It was a lazy list in general as they mostly just transplanted the Sky Pirate's Den into the list to the point where they initially removed it from the game entirely (they patched it back later after fan outcry). The last few floors of Trial Mode are pretty bad too.
I've done XIII-2 twice on PS3 and Xbox. If there was a spot between Easy and Moderate I'd put it there. It's FAR easier than XIII is but there's still some annoyances like the slots and clocks.
Lightning Returns can be done on the easiest difficulty which completely removes the main gameplay gimmick as a factor. I would imagine if they did remaster them they'd add the costumes in as standard. I'm pretty sure I got that game later and I still got those costumes.
XV is one of the easiest in the series as you basically can't die in the main game. It's just a bit of a timesink but so are the other games aside from the pixel ones. 100% though is another matter entirely and is now impossible due to them migrating the Comrades servers to the standalone. The DLC superbosses are also quite hard as you can't just load up on healing items to beat them. I'd say Pocket Edition is harder due to a couple of contextual trophies.
Type-0 is also fairly easy. Like Persona the time limit is only moved along with certain actions and there's nothing that really makes you go out of your way. It's almost disappointing that it doesn't make you see everything the game has to offer as there's a lot of NG+ stuff in the game.
The worst part of Crisis Core is leveling up the DMW which is just leaving the game running on an easy encounter. I'm a fan of the game and in terms of a remaster/remake it's one of the best/most faithful I've played but the missions can get tedious and a lot of them will just be done at the final save point.
World of Final Fantasy is pretty tedious, especially seeing as they locked the treasure chest tracker behind DLC and didn't add trophies to DLC when they did for the Xbox version.
Omg and there i was thinking i have most of them and then i see the list 😮 gotta work on NT too
Wow as someone who went back and got the FFX platinum a few years back I definitely didn’t feel like it was that difficult - just grindy. FFX-2 however 💀💀
FF VII R wasn't hard but... the dresses... F*CK that was SO ANNOYING TO DO
Woop! I needed this video!! 😃
FF7R Hard Mode isn't that difficult, he says... 😮😵💫😵
FF7R is the most difficult trophy I have, and I've done 9,10, 10-2, WoFF, and Type-0. FF7R combat really tests my reflexes even with tactical mode, and Hard mode has some pretty intense resource management for the final gauntlet of bosses. Definitely deserves to be higher on the list than "moderate"
Not sure if you achieved it yet since it's a bit longer after but...
Final Fantasy XII is not a hard trophy to get by any means. What makes it moderate for me is that it just takes a long time. And the trophy which takes the longest to get is actually filling out the bestiary due to rare monsters, and some of the stipulations to get them to appear. And Yiazmat? With 4x speed the battle should only take you 15 minutes, assuming you've done good with gambits and abilities (Wither, Sheer, and Yagyu Darkblade help tremendously). No Seitengrat required for it. There's no need to cheese Final Fantasy XII.
As far as the challenge goes, the ONLY thing that was challenging (not specifically lengthy or tedious) was fighting the five judges. Everything else is relatively easy, it just takes time. The thing which I thought would take longer was getting all the concurencs with the quickenings but... nope. It took longer for me to do that than fighting Yiazmat (and by that I mean... 20 minutes) but I didn't actually have to cheese any of it. Final Fantasy XII just isn't a hard enough game to need to cheese. Not that I couldn't. I did the RNG manipulation and got the Seitengrats (six of them) and everything, but at no point was using them necessary. I didn't even do the neat little tricks to make Yiazmat simple. 4x speed, fighting it the normal way and the fight was only 15 minutes. And compared to what I've seen at 4x speed this is... slow (and it was... I took my sweet little time).
TZA is easier than OG FF12. But OG FF12 has no trophies (Order of Ambrosia is what can be considered the Platinum of OG FF12 though).
@groudonvert7286 I'm not sure what your point is, exactly. At no point am I talking about the original version since this video clearly isn't. Final Fantasy XII isn't a hard game to do everything in, it's just a long game to do everything in.
The original FFXII isn't hard, either. It just takes even longer to do things because you can't fastforward or exceed 9999 damage levels (unless you use quickenings), but this doesn't mean the game was hard. It was just as easy. Yiazmat, for instance, was NEVER difficult. Time consuming, but not difficult. All TZA does is ensure the battle is over faster, and the bulk of that was just because they added a fastforward option.
The Zodiac Age adds quality of life improvements that reduce tedium. And my point is the tedium is reduced so much that cheesing simply isn't necessary to get the platinum trophy. The original was also easy, but it took longer... but isn't as easy to cheese since some of the things he's talking about doing (like getting the seitengrat) don't exist in the original. But again, those things speed up the process more so than lowering difficulty.
And the ONE thing I mentioned that I actually did find a challenge is a thing that doesn't exist in the OG Final Fantasy XII either, which is the battle against the Five Judges in the game's trial mode.
So sure, TZA is easier due largely to quality of life improvements like fast-forwarding and being able to do more damage and tweaking mist charges... but all these things do is ensure you don't take as much time to do things. The original game wasn't difficult at all, but there was no way to really speed up the process because of a damage cap and the game's slow pace. But TZA has at least two trophies that don't exist in the original game, and one of them actually is an interesting challenge.
My point is, and always was, Final Fantasy XII takes a long time to get a platinum, but it's not actually hard to do. And if you want to talk the OG game... it's the same statement when getting Order of Ambrosia. It's a long process, not a hard process. You just can't speed up that process in the OG game, while you CAN speed up that process in TZA. But the OG simply isn't that much harder, just significantly more tedious.
@@seanrhodes8817TZA platinum is basically Order of Ambrosia with the trials (who doesn't exist in OG).
That's my point. Doing the FF12's Plat is harder on OG than TZA, because 1. The game is harder. 2. You can't use the trials for a few enemies who are much harder outside of the trials (like Yiazmat).
In my experience I found Type-0 to be fairly easy, easier than FF7-R
I personally wouldn’t put FFX in the S tier of difficulty. It’s more of a grind than actually difficult. If you take into account that you’re going to obtain the ultimate weapons and the monster arena anyways as a standard play through then the rest is just grinding out the sphere grid.
i would trophy boost with you for Dissidia NT
my experience with final fantasy is that it's never over, new FF games every year, and I only have the ff14 ps4 plat, not the ps5, jump rope is the hardest trophy I've done in the series,
used yamoto on penance
death joker, you're better to do manually
8 is my least favorite mainline game
chrstal chronicles is my least favorite spin-off
the trials in 12 was tough at the end
I play FFXIV on computer primarily but if I loaded up on the PS5 would I instantly get all the trophies from having the stuff completed on PC? Or would I have to play through everything again on the PS5?
I am interested in helping with Dissidia that's what I'm working on right now I have all the characters A++
I was actually able to platinum FF X not to long ago and it was literally my second platinum for a ff game ever
Not sure if someone commented already but the first soldier and Yuna garbs are still available in the pc version of lightning returns at least not sure on ps3 or Xbox
I'm trying to platinum FF7 Remake right now. It's going well so far and now I wanna play the other ones too
