I feel like you single handedly raised the platinum % of this game by at least 0.5%. I feel like this should be a sub 1% game considering how hard the brutal/legendary challenges are, not to mention the sheer hours. Gg on all the guides,very concise and informative. Thanks for all the hard work.
Yeah, the 2% (or whatever it is) platinum percentage is deceiving. I've got like 65 platinums, and MANY under 0.5%, and a bunch of 0.1%'s, too, and this feels like it's in my top 5 most difficult.
Just want to express my thanks for your guides man. FF7 Rebirth was possibly the most brutal platinum i've gotten and it wouldn't have been possible without your guides and builds.
Nah let me write something better, spent over 310 hours on this game. Do i have a life? Whenever i sat down i thought about this game, it took me 300 hours, and i sat through all of it. 5 months, and i finally reached the platinum. Part of it to you, part of it to the game. They created an experience that no other game could, the world-building, characters, combat, voice acting, I could go on, but its 12:00 in australia. Thank you, and thanks Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
After 116 hours, I finally got the platinum trophy for this game. Thank you. I’ve watched most of your guides and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to hold this trophy. Optinoob, you are the legend. ❤
Dude, these fights were so chaotic on Normal mode when I wasn't following a guide. Just listening to you describe things step-by-step really calmed things down considerably and made me really understand the battle far better the second time around. Thanks so much for helping me get my shiny new platinum!
Just finished this up man, thanks! Your builds helped me finish all the legendary/brutal challenges and finally this last chapter today. I'll be looking forward to whatever you decide to do next
You were a great help on some of these boss fights throughout this entire playthrough. Ty, your guides made the ones i struggled with a breeze. Was able to do all this myself and man if you die on any of these segments you gotta rewatch a unskippable cutscene over and over. Man was that beyond annoying.
After 398h finally got Platinum. Was really difficult trophy. But want to thank you Optinoob for this all guides. Without them I won't archive platinum. All for Hard Mode bosses, Brutal and Legendary fights - all based on your videos. Thank you thank you for help!! YOU'RE the man!
381 here and got er tonight, mind you I didnt know until recently figuring, pause menu time still keeps counting till controller disconnects , I had alot of breaks lol. Same here thx Optinoob
Platinum complete - my 100th Platinum trophy. Thank you so much for your incredible guides Optinoob, you're one of the best around. Easily would have taken me double the time (if I'd even have been able to do it) without your strategies!
Took 270 hours but with persistence and some help from your guides I finally got the platinum. Absolutely most difficult Plat I’ve done out of the 15 I have now. Even Elden ring wasn’t this hard. This final chapter 14 took me 7 hours. My MP absorb material wasn’t working for some reason but I managed I had Gilgamesh out in the field against sepiroth and he disappeared without doing his alt even more bad luck but Firaga spam won the day Thank you for your guides and help
I've done it! Can't believe that it's finally done. Optinoob, I cannot thank you enough for your guides of this game. I, genuinely, could not have done this without you.
Damn dude, you are a legend. Been working on this since day 1 over the course of 230 hours and just beat my final hard mode chapter thanks to you. Just need to mop up some tasks and do the final 2 Chadley missions. I’ll be taking your hints for them too!
Optinoob, thank you for your guides. You helped me through the combat sims and hard mode. Thank you for your contribution to the community surrounding this game.
Thank you, sir. I'm so glad I found your channel. Usually, I pride myself on beating a game without help. However, after banging my head against a wall while playing the Brutal Challenges, I relented, and sought help from youtube. Your videos got me through the rest of the Brutal Challenges, and the Legendary Bouts. Then, I went back to the game, and beat all of the hard mode bosses on my own. Until chapter fourteen, that is. I got through Jenova on hard just fine, but, I kept dying on the Sephiroth fights. I gave up, and once again, turned to you. I watched this video, studied it, then, tackled the gauntlet again. Because or you, I got through it on the first try. I just earned the Platinum Trophy once chapter fourteen completed. I could have gotten through it on my own eventually, but, I'm still glad I chose to get your aid and spare myself from a lot of time and frustration. Thanks again!
I spent 4 hours in the final boss gauntlet. Didnt even bother slotting materia for half the cast and still ended up beating it. Such fun fights but it was all ruined in hard mode by not having skippable cutscenes.
I didn't use your guide for this last fight as you described it here, but I did use a massive part of the builds you suggested for the combat simulator guides, and eventually got my platinium on this game. i'd like to say a massive thank you for your guides, they litterally helped me achieve what i honestly thought was impossible. thank you so much!
Omg bro thank you so much. This was my last battle to complete the platinum! And I used multiple guides from you on the legendary and brutal challenges. Could not have done it without you. Absolutely perfect guide!!!!! Thank you so much bro!
I have to give you a big thank you man. I was dreading the platinum and then came across your guide. You are the mvp and I am now subscribed to you. Can't wait for part 3.
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you! Your guides helped me achieve the platinum this past weekend!! Absolutely brilliant stuff. Thank you very much!!
Dude, you're the best. I pretty much followed your guide step by step. Pausing my game every after every thing you did to copy it. Thanks for this. The platinum is now mine.
Your guides are the best dude - Cleared Chapter 14 in one try following it, and only redid the final Sephiroth phase once. Very clearly explained and easy-to-follow, thanks again. Cheers!
I finally got my platinum today after 256 hours (290 overall, thanks brutal and legendary challenges). This was by far the toughest platinum I’ve ever had to get. You, sir, are a godsend. Thank you for all the videos and strats. You have a new sub!
Finally got the platinum an hour ago having followed your informative guides for most of the brutal and legendary vr challenges, and then the hard difficulty bosses. A massive thank you for helping to make the plat doable 😀
Quick warning as it almost screwed me: If you adjust your materia/items during the first cutscene, then restart, you will have to adjust your materia again. I went into the later phases with the with the wrong items/materia as it reset to the 'old' setup which made the later stages alot harder (but doable). E.g. I did not have any limit breaks for last but one stage with the wings, and Aerith did not have First Strike/ATB Boost/Faith in final stage. I still managed to do it, but after alot of retries since I didn't want to go back to start
Your guides were critical to my success playing this game and i platinum’d the game thanks to you! I can’t thank you enough man and look forward to your guides for part 3! 💕🙏
Thanks for all the guides and the nice explanations of the dynamics of the bosses and the challenges. Without your help the platinum would be more challenging, I finally got it :)
Thanks Optinoob again! Solid strategies. I didn't have all the items you did but I managed to make it through and platinum obtained! Looking forward the final game in the series, which you no doubt will help all of us out in. Kudos! This is officially my 500th plat!
Thanks to you, I got my platinum a few hours ago. I came to tell you how much I appreciate the help you provided for a lot of stuff on my way to the platinum. So thank you so much sir, you are a genius!!! I am sharing the merit to this trophy with you :)
Finally got the plat trophy thanks to your strats, after you know the mechanics of each character works the game with these guides are a walk in a park! Tyvm for your work, see you around for part 3, you did a wonderful job with these guides 💪👏🙌
Finally got my Platinum tonight, six months to the day after release! I couldn't have done it without your guides - thanks Optinoob! This is one of my favorite games ever, and it came out the same week my first kid was born. I'll never forget this playthrough.
I feel like I owe you and a couple of other UA-camrs a beer for helping me get the platinum today. I guess I'll owe you another because I'll be using your guides for remake when I decide to tackle that one.
Boom! I just got the Plat thanks to your guides! Just in time for the Elden Ring DLC to drop lol. Thanks for all the help and also for the answers to my questions here in the comment section of your videos! 👍 You're extremely knowledgeable about this game, but you also are attentive and care about your community as well. You're a really good dude. Many thanks and respects, bro!
I know you've moved on from Rebirth but I wanted to say thank you. With your guide, both Jenova and Sephiroth were easier on hard for me than they were on normal on my own. Your guides are excellent and you explain the steps so well. Thanks again!
Having put 222 hours into this game (half of it of which I spent doing the post-game and anything I skipped before finishing the last chapter on normal), I can’t thank you enough for some of these harder guides to helping me achieve the platinum more easily (as I have just now nabbed it) and save myself time earning these trophies in the process! Thanks BIG TIME!!
Now that I've got the Platinum here, I'm gonna start Stellar Blade, and I'm so happy to see you have guides for that as well! Cheers and thanks for all the guides!
Thank you very much for your FF 7 Rebirth guides they are exceptional it adds a lot of fun to be able to fight this very hard challenges with your set up since it makes it very manageable.
Thank you so much! Your materia build for the whole of Ch 14 was so good. However, I stupidly misclicked and ATB Boost didn't add onto Aerith, so I had to improvise. What I learned in this fight is A) Sephy's first attack is pretty fine and B) Fira is perfectly serviceable if you have an opening. As a result, I ATB Boosted with Cloud, then Faith, then I built ATB with Aerith to ensure Arcane Ward. I didn't go into Prime Mode until after Fira knocked out the Wing, then continued the build as normal. The only issue is that HP gets knocked too soon, as you alluded to, so I had to evade End is Nigh and resort to chip damage to get one more Fira and seal the match!
From the bottom of my heart, Optinoob, I can't thank you enough for these splendid guides. If not for you, I'd probably be stuck in Limbo trying to beat Hard Mode on this game. You've earned my subscription. And I look forward to hearing your guides for the next FF7 game in the future...
I never comment on videos man but I have to say thank you so much!!! I beat the hardest stuff in this game thanks to your guides!! I’m gonna get the platinum because of you you!!
Thank you Opti for all these FF7 guides! got me the platinum. This final fight was surprisingly easy compared to the first playthrough. Bond of Friendship was hell though. Can't wait for what you come up with for part 3 in a few years
Hey man, awesome guides! You've been really helpful to me getting through the Combat Simulator!! One tip I want to share: after the first phase of the Sephiroth fight (with Zack), you can just use Fira instead of Firaga to cripple the body. That way, on the next phase you can ATB boost and Firaga right away instead of getting the timing of dodge-Prime Mode-attacks; I tried this because I just couldn't seem to do it like you did!
optinoob my man, ik you got this many times from others already but my GOD, you have single handily helped me out much more than any other person with rebirth. without you i literally couldn’t have done it and same with many others here. just got my platinum and it goes out to you, thanks so much for all you’ve done fr fr ps i’ve seen you’ve done other games i’m interested in platinuming as well, i guess i’ll see you on them another time. :))
I really need to thank you sir, I was able to complete this final battle with your help, it takes me time and some practice at the end, but it was great ♥️
Finally beat the game on Hard - this whole gauntlet took me near 6-hours. I didn’t want to quit the game and risk starting over again, so I pushed through. Great guide, keep it up!🤙🏼
You helped me get the platinum today! I know it was a ton of work going over loadouts for the final battle and I want you to know it reallly helped!! I forgot to have ATB Boost on Aerith on accident but still made it happen. cheers!!!
i literally thumbs up this video, and click it again, so that i can thumbs up it again! i received my platinum just now because of this video! and the Bonds of Friendship! THANKS OPTINOOB!!!
I did it bro, spot on guide you got here. I didn't do exactly this materia setup because i wanted to see what party members I'd get. Which turned out to be me just brute forcing my way all the way to the end with no one but cloud properly setup.
Platinum achieved. Thank you for all the help. You can probably find a string of my comments starting from your Brutal tutorials. I completed most of hard mode alone, but watched for Rufus, Dragon, Jenova and finally Sephiroth. See you for Part 3 :)
I finally got the Plat ! Thank you so much for these guides Sir! - I actually stumbled a bit during the first couple of stages with Cloud + Zack / Cloud solo, but then I got stages 4 to 7 first try. Barret was my character C and it was SO satisfying unleashing three Level 3 Limit Breaks back to back in the last big group stage. One thing I wished the Devs added would be to allow you to make a save between the Jenova and Sephy fights, I mean - they let you go into the menu to rejig materia, so I feel like letting you save would be fair. You're stuck in the menu, so you wouldn't be able to spam any outside-of-battle heals before the Sephy fight, so c'mon guys 'just let me save' ! Its annoying that if you mess up during the first few stages of the Sephy fight and then restart, it takes you back to after the Jenova fight - but it DOESNT remember your most recent materia changes - so its now time to rejig materia yet again (yeah I know this is a problem only if it takes you a while to get used to the fight, but that is me all over). Anyway - these are just gripes with a few elements of the battle design, your guides are excellent and very well explained. I'm so glad to finally get this done. Thanks Opti !
And that. Is. PLATINUM! Thank you for all your guides, my dude. They have gotten me through more of the hard mode BS than I was even remotely prepared for. Cheers!
Like many others your strategies have been my guide to platinum. Solid builds for Jenova and Sephiroth. I almost did it first try for both, just the last Sephiroth phase gave me some issue's.
Thank you so much. Thanks to you I was able to get platinum.. had some issues with Odin in bond of friendship but everything else was a cake walk . Thanks again
Here to say I didn’t follow the build or ABCDE character materia build and I only had Enhanced expeditionary times one lmao. It’s doable people. Got to final phase on Sephiroth and got to the end is nigh, I died… plot twist. Aerith had reraise materia. I got enough ATB once revived to Braver and beat him!!! Sidenote. Thank you for the guides!!! Lifesaver for hardmode! Platinum in hand with your help man!
Really handy guide again. Got the platinum tonight. Your tip on the party setup was spot on and I think my character C being Tifa made it a lot easier against Sephiroth as she KOd the orb in 1 limit break use. Completely shocked to say...I did him in one go!
I admit mah brotha, not everything looked as easy for me like it did in your videos, (had to do alot of improvising) but man I know how hard you worked on these videos, on behalf of me and all the other platnium winning crazies, you are da man
Like others i also want to say thanks, finally i got my platinum today and your guide is one of the reasons i can get it, especially the brutal and legendary VR. Thx a lot broo, good luck for other platinum hunter!
I finally got the platinum!!! 💯🔥🔥🔥 LET'S GOOO!! i truly and humbly thank you so much for what you've done, thank you so much! I can finally say i did it 100%!! Game is so fun and amazing fr!! 💯
Finally beat this guy tonight. I had to do some major improving for the last two phases because I somehow messed up my builds and didn’t have everything you suggested even though I thought I did. I didn’t have limit for the core phase and Aerith didn’t have faith for some reason. But I was able to figure it out after about a dozen or so tries. This fight was brutal. But I’m so glad you could retry from phases because if I had to do the entire run every time I would just give up on the platinum…
Thank you! The last one with Sephiroth I retry 3 times but that is on me. Other than that it was a breeze with your strat, Got my Platinum thanks to your guides.
Just want to say a massive thank you! I finally got the platinum trophy! 224 hours later.. If I knew we had to do pretty much all the side quests again in hard mode I wouldn’t have spent so long during the first run! Anyway, thank you so much for all your help! I can finally move on with my life now 😂
The MVP of this game the Genji Gloves, get yours today!
And arcane ward
Ratchet and clank reference? 😄
Me playing hard mode without them 😢
The Genji Gloves are a prime reason why you do EVERYTHING! Just in case
Just got my Platinum 200 hours in!! Thank you so much, you made this whole journey a lot more fun!
Twinsies! Just got my platinum trophy after 210 hours with massive help from this man! Whoop whoop 🎉🎉🎉
Same
I am 202 hours in still have bonds of friendship and to be heroes legendary bouts then I will have tje platinum
I feel like you single handedly raised the platinum % of this game by at least 0.5%. I feel like this should be a sub 1% game considering how hard the brutal/legendary challenges are, not to mention the sheer hours. Gg on all the guides,very concise and informative. Thanks for all the hard work.
Yeah, the 2% (or whatever it is) platinum percentage is deceiving. I've got like 65 platinums, and MANY under 0.5%, and a bunch of 0.1%'s, too, and this feels like it's in my top 5 most difficult.
Just want to express my thanks for your guides man. FF7 Rebirth was possibly the most brutal platinum i've gotten and it wouldn't have been possible without your guides and builds.
What he said, seriously thanks for all these vids
Thanks for the vids !!
Nah let me write something better, spent over 310 hours on this game. Do i have a life? Whenever i sat down i thought about this game, it took me 300 hours, and i sat through all of it. 5 months, and i finally reached the platinum. Part of it to you, part of it to the game. They created an experience that no other game could, the world-building, characters, combat, voice acting, I could go on, but its 12:00 in australia. Thank you, and thanks Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
After 116 hours, I finally got the platinum trophy for this game. Thank you. I’ve watched most of your guides and if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to hold this trophy. Optinoob, you are the legend. ❤

Just listening to you describe things step-by-step really calmed things down considerably and made me really understand the battle far better the second time around. Thanks so much for helping me get my shiny new platinum!
I know what you mean, it took me over a dozen tries just to beat the last phase on normal, then 1st try on hard thanks to this guy!
Just finished this up man, thanks! Your builds helped me finish all the legendary/brutal challenges and finally this last chapter today. I'll be looking forward to whatever you decide to do next
You were a great help on some of these boss fights throughout this entire playthrough. Ty, your guides made the ones i struggled with a breeze. Was able to do all this myself and man if you die on any of these segments you gotta rewatch a unskippable cutscene over and over. Man was that beyond annoying.

Props to you for almost 400. I’ve put 220 in and I just need to finish hard mode for the platinum. Makes remakes platinum child’s play by comparison
381 here and got er tonight, mind you I didnt know until recently figuring, pause menu time still keeps counting till controller disconnects , I had alot of breaks lol. Same here thx Optinoob
Platinum complete - my 100th Platinum trophy. Thank you so much for your incredible guides Optinoob, you're one of the best around. Easily would have taken me double the time (if I'd even have been able to do it) without your strategies!
Got the platinum thanks to you. I would not have been able to do any of these battles without your comprehensive guides. Thank you!
I used pretty much all your guides for hard mode. I appreciate the time and dedication you put into these videos. Thank you so so much!
Took 270 hours but with persistence and some help from your guides I finally got the platinum.
Absolutely most difficult Plat I’ve done out of the 15 I have now. Even Elden ring wasn’t this hard.
This final chapter 14 took me 7 hours. My MP absorb material wasn’t working for some reason but I managed I had Gilgamesh out in the field against sepiroth and he disappeared without doing his alt even more bad luck but Firaga spam won the day
Thank you for your guides and help
Got the plat not 10 minutes ago, you rock! Thanks for the extensive help your video guides have given me, couldn’t have done it without you Opti!
I've done it! Can't believe that it's finally done. Optinoob, I cannot thank you enough for your guides of this game. I, genuinely, could not have done this without you.
Bittersweet to finally be done this game. Couldn't have done it without these guides. Thank you for all the work you put into these strats and videos.
Damn dude, you are a legend. Been working on this since day 1 over the course of 230 hours and just beat my final hard mode chapter thanks to you. Just need to mop up some tasks and do the final 2 Chadley missions. I’ll be taking your hints for them too!
I have no words to express the gratitude of this entire series you’ve made to help us ❤️
Optinoob, thank you for your guides. You helped me through the combat sims and hard mode. Thank you for your contribution to the community surrounding this game.

I spent 4 hours in the final boss gauntlet. Didnt even bother slotting materia for half the cast and still ended up beating it. Such fun fights but it was all ruined in hard mode by not having skippable cutscenes.
The fact that this is a thing was beyond ridiculous. They clearly didnt play this part repeatedly. It sucked watching a 2 minute cutscene 50 times
Yeah absolutely brutal final fight or should I say final 10 fights in a row lol
I didn't use your guide for this last fight as you described it here, but I did use a massive part of the builds you suggested for the combat simulator guides, and eventually got my platinium on this game. i'd like to say a massive thank you for your guides, they litterally helped me achieve what i honestly thought was impossible. thank you so much!

Done aaand... Done! Got all trophies and the play log is full of checkmarks, and I owe most of it to you and your guides. Thank you very much! 👍
I have to give you a big thank you man. I was dreading the platinum and then came across your guide. You are the mvp and I am now subscribed to you. Can't wait for part 3.
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you! Your guides helped me achieve the platinum this past weekend!! Absolutely brilliant stuff. Thank you very much!!
Dude, you're the best. I pretty much followed your guide step by step. Pausing my game every after every thing you did to copy it. Thanks for this. The platinum is now mine.
got the plat today, so thanks for all the amazing vids. I'm def putting a reference to this series in my YT when it finally goes up.
Your guides are the best dude - Cleared Chapter 14 in one try following it, and only redid the final Sephiroth phase once.
Very clearly explained and easy-to-follow, thanks again. Cheers!
I finally got my platinum today after 256 hours (290 overall, thanks brutal and legendary challenges). This was by far the toughest platinum I’ve ever had to get. You, sir, are a godsend. Thank you for all the videos and strats. You have a new sub!
Super clear and fantastic guide - thanks so much for this man 😮🎉
Man I really have to thank you because without your videos I’m probably losing my mind. You make everything so easy!! Thank you again!!!
Thank you so much for these guides dude. I just got the platinum. Couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you for your guides. Beat it on Hard mode and now for the last two Legendary challenges
Finally got the platinum an hour ago having followed your informative guides for most of the brutal and legendary vr challenges, and then the hard difficulty bosses. A massive thank you for helping to make the plat doable 😀
Quick warning as it almost screwed me: If you adjust your materia/items during the first cutscene, then restart, you will have to adjust your materia again. I went into the later phases with the with the wrong items/materia as it reset to the 'old' setup which made the later stages alot harder (but doable).
E.g. I did not have any limit breaks for last but one stage with the wings, and Aerith did not have First Strike/ATB Boost/Faith in final stage.
I still managed to do it, but after alot of retries since I didn't want to go back to start
Well, this was the last thing i needed, thanks bud. Your guides have saved me so much time getting plat
Your guides were critical to my success playing this game and i platinum’d the game thanks to you! I can’t thank you enough man and look forward to your guides for part 3! 💕🙏
Thanks for all the guides and the nice explanations of the dynamics of the bosses and the challenges.
Without your help the platinum would be more challenging, I finally got it :)
Thanks Optinoob again! Solid strategies. I didn't have all the items you did but I managed to make it through and platinum obtained! Looking forward the final game in the series, which you no doubt will help all of us out in. Kudos! This is officially my 500th plat!
Thank you! Without your amazingly well-planned videos I would have never gotten the platinum much love!
Thank you so much for this Hard mode boss guide. I never could have done it without this!
As of beating this fight, the platinum is officially mine. Thanks Optinoob, I really could not have done it without you
Thanks to you, I got my platinum a few hours ago. I came to tell you how much I appreciate the help you provided for a lot of stuff on my way to the platinum. So thank you so much sir, you are a genius!!! I am sharing the merit to this trophy with you :)
I appreciate the guides
Many thanks mate ;)

i was able to get the platinum thanks to your guides!!! keep up the amazing work!
Finally got my Platinum tonight, six months to the day after release! I couldn't have done it without your guides - thanks Optinoob! This is one of my favorite games ever, and it came out the same week my first kid was born. I'll never forget this playthrough.
@@shanevstheworld Congrats on your first kid mate, let the fun begin xD
I just got platinum. What a ride after almost 230h. Amazing game. Thank you for your guides!
After 6 months and a total of 231 hours, i finally got the platinum. If it weren’t for your guides, I wouldn’t have made it. Thank you.
I feel like I owe you and a couple of other UA-camrs a beer for helping me get the platinum today. I guess I'll owe you another because I'll be using your guides for remake when I decide to tackle that one.
Just got my platinum trophy with a great many thanks to your guides!! We appreciate your effort mate thanks a bunch
Boom! I just got the Plat thanks to your guides! Just in time for the Elden Ring DLC to drop lol.
Thanks for all the help and also for the answers to my questions here in the comment section of your videos! 👍
You're extremely knowledgeable about this game, but you also are attentive and care about your community as well.
You're a really good dude. Many thanks and respects, bro!
I know you've moved on from Rebirth but I wanted to say thank you. With your guide, both Jenova and Sephiroth were easier on hard for me than they were on normal on my own. Your guides are excellent and you explain the steps so well. Thanks again!
And it has been done! Thank you again Optinoob! I managed to platinum this game thanks to your amazing guides!
Platinum achieved. Thank you for all your hard work. Subscribed!!!
Having put 222 hours into this game (half of it of which I spent doing the post-game and anything I skipped before finishing the last chapter on normal), I can’t thank you enough for some of these harder guides to helping me achieve the platinum more easily (as I have just now nabbed it) and save myself time earning these trophies in the process!

Thank you very much for your FF 7 Rebirth guides they are exceptional it adds a lot of fun to be able to fight this very hard challenges with your set up since it makes it very manageable.
wanted to say thank you for all the tips for these hard mode bosses, got my plat tonight with little difficulty after 162 hours thanks to you man

Keep up the good work, brother! 💪💪
From the bottom of my heart, Optinoob, I can't thank you enough for these splendid guides. If not for you, I'd probably be stuck in Limbo trying to beat Hard Mode on this game. You've earned my subscription. And I look forward to hearing your guides for the next FF7 game in the future...
I never comment on videos man but I have to say thank you so much!!! I beat the hardest stuff in this game thanks to your guides!! I’m gonna get the platinum because of you you!!
I got my platinum a month or so ago but just wanted to say thank you you are a life saver! Saved me so much stress and it was still brutal lol
Thank you Opti for all these FF7 guides! got me the platinum. This final fight was surprisingly easy compared to the first playthrough. Bond of Friendship was hell though. Can't wait for what you come up with for part 3 in a few years
Hey man, awesome guides! You've been really helpful to me getting through the Combat Simulator!!
One tip I want to share: after the first phase of the Sephiroth fight (with Zack), you can just use Fira instead of Firaga to cripple the body. That way, on the next phase you can ATB boost and Firaga right away instead of getting the timing of dodge-Prime Mode-attacks; I tried this because I just couldn't seem to do it like you did!
optinoob my man, ik you got this many times from others already but my GOD, you have single handily helped me out much more than any other person with rebirth. without you i literally couldn’t have done it and same with many others here. just got my platinum and it goes out to you, thanks so much for all you’ve done fr fr
ps i’ve seen you’ve done other games i’m interested in platinuming as well, i guess i’ll see you on them another time. :))
Always a pleasure mate ;(
I really need to thank you sir, I was able to complete this final battle with your help, it takes me time and some practice at the end, but it was great ♥️
Got the platinum an hour ago. This must be one of the hardest plats I got. Thank you, sir, for guiding most of us. You are the 1.7%.
After 188h I’ve finally got my platinum. A huge thank you to you, and looking forward to Part 3.
Finally beat the game on Hard - this whole gauntlet took me near 6-hours. I didn’t want to quit the game and risk starting over again, so I pushed through. Great guide, keep it up!🤙🏼
You helped me get the platinum today!
I know it was a ton of work going over loadouts for the final battle and I want you to know it reallly helped!! I forgot to have ATB Boost on Aerith on accident but still made it happen.
cheers!!!
That was rough. I didn’t have Gotterdamerung for this but I otherwise followed your guide and now I do!
Thanks for all ff7 guides. It was awesome!
Thanks again for the guides the last 2 bosses were a pain but you made it a lot less painful so thanks again
I just earned my Platinum and couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you!
And 219 hours later, the Platinum is mine. Thank you for all of the guides. I hope to see you around for Remake Part III.
Finally got my platinum. Thanks for all of your help with these videos. See you for part 3... Hopefully they make that platinum much easier to obtain!
Don't count on it lol. Knights of the round, emerald and ruby plus who knows what else 😅
They can be cheesed in the original with cait sith game over, they have mega nerfed all the materia and skill options here
i literally thumbs up this video, and click it again, so that i can thumbs up it again! i received my platinum just now because of this video! and the Bonds of Friendship! THANKS OPTINOOB!!!
Finally got my platinum. It’s been a hell of a ride. Thank you for those guide.
I did it bro, spot on guide you got here. I didn't do exactly this materia setup because i wanted to see what party members I'd get. Which turned out to be me just brute forcing my way all the way to the end with no one but cloud properly setup.
Platinum achieved. Thank you for all the help. You can probably find a string of my comments starting from your Brutal tutorials. I completed most of hard mode alone, but watched for Rufus, Dragon, Jenova and finally Sephiroth. See you for Part 3 :)
I finally got the Plat !
Thank you so much for these guides Sir! - I actually stumbled a bit during the first couple of stages with Cloud + Zack / Cloud solo, but then I got stages 4 to 7 first try.
Barret was my character C and it was SO satisfying unleashing three Level 3 Limit Breaks back to back in the last big group stage. One thing I wished the Devs added would be to allow you to make a save between the Jenova and Sephy fights, I mean - they let you go into the menu to rejig materia, so I feel like letting you save would be fair. You're stuck in the menu, so you wouldn't be able to spam any outside-of-battle heals before the Sephy fight, so c'mon guys 'just let me save' !
Its annoying that if you mess up during the first few stages of the Sephy fight and then restart, it takes you back to after the Jenova fight - but it DOESNT remember your most recent materia changes - so its now time to rejig materia yet again (yeah I know this is a problem only if it takes you a while to get used to the fight, but that is me all over).
Anyway - these are just gripes with a few elements of the battle design, your guides are excellent and very well explained.
I'm so glad to finally get this done. Thanks Opti !
And that. Is. PLATINUM!
Thank you for all your guides, my dude. They have gotten me through more of the hard mode BS than I was even remotely prepared for. Cheers!
Like many others your strategies have been my guide to platinum. Solid builds for Jenova and Sephiroth. I almost did it first try for both, just the last Sephiroth phase gave me some issue's.
Thank you so much. Thanks to you I was able to get platinum.. had some issues with Odin in bond of friendship but everything else was a cake walk . Thanks again
Here to say I didn’t follow the build or ABCDE character materia build and I only had Enhanced expeditionary times one lmao. It’s doable people. Got to final phase on Sephiroth and got to the end is nigh, I died… plot twist. Aerith had reraise materia. I got enough ATB once revived to Braver and beat him!!!
Sidenote. Thank you for the guides!!! Lifesaver for hardmode! Platinum in hand with your help man!
Really handy guide again. Got the platinum tonight.
Your tip on the party setup was spot on and I think my character C being Tifa made it a lot easier against Sephiroth as she KOd the orb in 1 limit break use.
Completely shocked to say...I did him in one go!
I admit mah brotha, not everything looked as easy for me like it did in your videos, (had to do alot of improvising) but man I know how hard you worked on these videos, on behalf of me and all the other platnium winning crazies, you are da man
Like others i also want to say thanks, finally i got my platinum today and your guide is one of the reasons i can get it, especially the brutal and legendary VR. Thx a lot broo, good luck for other platinum hunter!
191 hours and 5 minutes, finally got the platinum thanks to you!
Thank you for all your help after 216 I've finally got my platinum I never would have beaten the bosses on hard mode without your helpful videos 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for all the guides you made for this game.
Got platinum today❤thanks for the help. 238h of playing and i love it
I finally got the platinum!!! 💯🔥🔥🔥 LET'S GOOO!! i truly and humbly thank you so much for what you've done, thank you so much! I can finally say i did it 100%!! Game is so fun and amazing fr!! 💯
Finally beat this guy tonight. I had to do some major improving for the last two phases because I somehow messed up my builds and didn’t have everything you suggested even though I thought I did. I didn’t have limit for the core phase and Aerith didn’t have faith for some reason. But I was able to figure it out after about a dozen or so tries. This fight was brutal. But I’m so glad you could retry from phases because if I had to do the entire run every time I would just give up on the platinum…
Thank you! The last one with Sephiroth I retry 3 times but that is on me. Other than that it was a breeze with your strat, Got my Platinum thanks to your guides.
Just want to say a massive thank you! I finally got the platinum trophy! 224 hours later..
If I knew we had to do pretty much all the side quests again in hard mode I wouldn’t have spent so long during the first run!
Anyway, thank you so much for all your help!
I can finally move on with my life now 😂
