When i first played KH2 on PS3 i wasn’t planning for the platinum due to difficulty trophies, but when I finished my first play-through on critical, i got surprised for getting all lower difficulty trophies stacked! This is really neat feature still the platinum was kinda pain to get
Small correction on Dream Drop Distance: The trophy "Ability Ace" requires the player to obtain Exp Zero which you can only get when playing on Proud mode. Spirits can be transferred from an easier difficulty save file, so you at least need to start a Proud playthrough (you are not required to beat the game on Proud entirely)
You mentioned it but there actually is an RNG manipulation in Re Com to garuntee enemy card drops. Although it's kinda obscure and if it doesn't work you still have to grind so recom is still a pain LOL
Great vid! I’m currently going for the KH1 plat on ps3 and let out an internal groan when I realised the difficulty trophies didn’t stack and I had to do all the gummi ship missions unlike the ps4 version. They weren’t too bad in the end though! Thanks to the info here I can pick my next KH plat wisely!! :)
Thank you so much for mentioning Re:Mind's difficulty. Although KH3 had an extremely easy Platinum trophy, the Re:Mind trophy for getting Max Pro Code ranking is disgustingly hard compared to the rest of them, took me like 90 hours in and of itself over months. Even doing it on Beginner difficulty, having to do all of the bosses with all Pro Codes on requires so much skill and practice. Doing all the regular bosses with all codes on lets you skip fighting three out of the 14 Data fights, and lets you turn a couple of the harder codes off for a couple other Data fights.
This is a great video! I'm trying to platinum all of the KH games rn, so far I only have the plat for KH1 but I'm working on re:CoM rn and putting my fate in the hands of RNGesus is not fun 😔
There are TH-cam videos that show how to manipulate your way to getting the enemy card drops that you need. Involving using specific room cards and dodge rolling a certain number of times. It’s not super easy but it’s not hard. And waaaaay easier than just playing for days hoping you get what you need
Enemy cards do have RNG manipulation now. A few years ago a genius youtuber posted video guides. That trophy is a breeze now. Also Sora is easy to get to 99 using mega flare on destiny islands. Riku is still the biggest slog to level.
Kingdom heart 1- I was 1 trophy away from platumin and it was everyone needs their weapons unlock. For the life of me. I COULD NOT get that lion shield from the defender. It wouldn't drop for me at all. Spend 4 months grinding it. And it just wouldn't drop. When it finally did. The platumin drop and I went omg!!😮
great video! I hate having to replay games, so seeing a plat requiring basically 3 entire playthroughs that all consist of the same grind… lord help me if I ever get into this series 😭
Kingdom Hearts II was the first game I got the platinum for. Now I'm really into collecting all the trophies in the games. I don't know if I want to attempt the Chain of Memories one though. Grinding Riku to level 99 looks so tedious. But I'm actually really excited to go for the Risk-taker trophy in Re:Mind!
I got 100%, or really close, on the og PS2 versions of KH1 and KH2 when I was a kid don't think I will ever have the energy for that again. You're a madman compared to me.
Re:Chain is just such a mindless grind... I didn't mind getting all the cards on Sora's side, that's okaaay? But man when I was done with Riku's story I was barely level 50 so... just mindlessly grinding 50 levels without anything else is just plain draining lol! it's really not *hard* to platinum, it just takes sooo much patience
I Platinum all Games as well and on god i am so thankfull for the Guy that showed the rng Manipulation on rechain of memories, aswell as everyone making Websites with crafting and Item Drops. All heros
Also fantastic video! Criminal subscriber count considering the quality of your content, here's hoping that changes soon! Recently got the Plat for KH3 and beat Yozora so that's me finished with the series, EXCEPT I've still got the Pro Code run to finish, just hit Toy Box and I'm dreading the Data Fights. Hitting level 99 with Riku in Chain of Memories was such a slog since his campaign ended before he even hit 25, ugh. Birth by Sleep was far and above the worst. Took me 9 hours beating MF as Terra, that was AWFUL. Took another 3 to beat him as Ventus and then it was so ingrained in my muscle memory that I somehow beat him first try with Aqua which was such a relief. Never again. Terra blows so much. And MF's ability to just knock away your command deck was such a BS mechanic.
Kh1 3 runs, First One the introduction, second One After all the other game i've done the proud run, and i've done everything, xemnas Sephiroth every Trophy, third run the dont die and dont change the equipment thophies, so much fun on kh1 fr.
A bit of a "pro" tip, :), for the Pro Code trophy, you can use the boost items, (attack, magic, and defense boosts) in order to boost your stats to make those fights a lot easier. So I would recommend stacking these in order to make your life a lot easier. Unfortunately you can't really farm these until a good chunk of the game in, but hey it'll definitely help against a looot of the lategame bosses.
Also, turning off all healing options. But, a few accessories can (sometimes) give you a bit of health back from magic casts. It's not much but paired with defender and once more that's enough
I’m always bummed remembering that I have every KH plat except Chain of Memories and I probably will never get it so my collection will always be incomplete.
I just did them all last year. Before watching the video here is mine terrible to awesome: ReChained 358 Days and ReCoded Melody of Memory Kingdom Hearts DDD Kingdom Hearts BBS Kingdom Hearts 2 Kingdom Hearts 1 Kongdom Hearts 3 (Risk Taker is the most pride I have in any trophy ever. Even though it's DLC and not included in the platinum it was hard and rewarding)
I did all of them, enjoyed kh, enjoyed com (not leveling up riku, that was painful), enjoyed 2, enjoyed bbs (yeah, really, enjoyed it idk jsjjsjsjs), enjoyed 3 but the pro code tropy almost kills me, that is one of the hardest trophies on my collection. And finally enhoyed melody but the one of killing 100000 enemys was annoying af honestly
I'm one of those strugglers who has the KH1 plat on PS3 and the Re:Chain of Memories play on PS3, always great to meet a fellow traveler! 9 playthroughs in all across both games on PS3 for those damn plays 😭 Somehow still not as bad as having to do EVERYTHING as ALL 3 CHARACTERS on Birth by Sleep.
Great list! I would have put Dream Drop before Re:CoM and then KH2 before that. You didn't mention leveling up all the spirits affinities which i think is the biggest grind in the series, or maybe i was doing it wrong. 😅
Nice list. I would rank them by difficulty, without considering the grinding. And then rank them again by grinding, without considering difficulty: By Difficulty 9. Melody of Memory 8. Fragmentary Passage 7. Kingdom Hearts III 6. Dream Drop Distance 5. Chain of Memories 4. Birth By Sleep 3. Kingdom Hearts 2. Re:Mind 1. Kingdom Hearts II The hardest I have done in the entire franchise was juggling that fucking Mushroom. By Grinding 9. Fragmentary Passage 8. Melody of Memory 7. Kingdom Hearts II 6. Kingdom Hearts III 5. Chain of Memories 4. Dream Drop Distance 3. Kingdom Hearts 2. Birth by Sleep 1. Re:Mind I needed to grind for Boost materials in order to Max Sora Stats and be able to face Data Battles with the codes enabled. That's a hell of a grind.
I've managed to platinum all of these games on both PS3 and decided to do it again on PS4. (I HATED every moment of Mysterious Figure again as Terra). Only trophy out of all of these games that I don't have is Risk-Taker though. I'm working on that right now. So far, base game is done with all Pro Codes on, except for Dark Inferno. Hopefully a couple more days and I can put this to series' trophies to rest. I love this series.
I remembwr being so intimidated hearing about how hard KH2's endgame was. Didn't even attempt it until I was around level 90 with Ultima weapon and solid accessories. Ended up beating everyone in the Data Org first try without even engaging with their unique mechanics, just mashed my way through it knowing the basics of how revenge values and reflect work. Lingering Will took maybe a half hours worth of attempts? Ended up replaying through all of them at around level 70 and had a much better time. Struggled and had to actually learn the fights a bit even if I still don't think most of emctook me more than 1-3 tries. It is a hit of a shame you can level past the skill requirements for most of the bosses, but its a game with kids/teens in mind so I can't really fault it that much when the fights are fun regardless.
You can actually play through KH3 with 7 to 9 pro codes enabled and as long as you turn all of them on for the late game fights and some Data bosses, you can get the Risk taker trophy just fine. This is especially helped by the fact the game lets you turn off pro codes for a great deal of boss fights, like for example you don’t even really need to turn them on for most of the Organization XIII group fights in Keyblade graveyard and every boss fight in the Remind episode with the exception of Armored Xehanort. No self inflicted torture for trophies needed lol.
Having just 100% re:com on the steam release, i feel encouraged to do it for the rest of the series. There is a video on youtube somewhere to manipilate the rng for enemy cards but its not guaranteed and may require reloading. I didnt use it myself though so i cant confirm its value firsthand.
With Terra fighting the Mysterious Figure I completed it tonight took an hour you just gotta get used to hitting thunder surge and you take your thumb and press back on the joy stick. Hit a thunder surge dodge backwards square and back on joystick then hit again. Start a flow of that. But I can see how people were upset with that boss fight.
Melody of Memroy is the only I haven't Platinumed (or played lol), and it's been so long since the ps3 days, I had forgotten about the difficulties not stacking haha. Cool to find such a cool channel so early on, can't wait to watch the numbers climb for ya!
Real quick, for 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, you don't have to sit through 3 hours for each one. You can go to the chapter/scene select and it then gives you the option to skip each scene when you pause. Takes about 10 minutes instead of 3 hours.
I’ve played all number titles and currently dream drop. I’ve played these games multiple t Times. So I had more experience going into these platinum runs but BBs will be the death of me😭
It's kinda funny - I'm one of Birth By Sleep's biggest fans, I love Command Board, I didn't mind doing the minigames, I like command melding, but even I would never want to Platinum the game purely on Critical again. It's just so much time.
working my way through the series Platinum's, on KH Re Chain of Memories right now. I was dreading the randomness of the enemy cards until I found a TH-cam channel that shows you how to manipulate the game to get every single enemy card, so it reduced the time significantly for me to get that trophy. About to be stuck on leveling up Riku to 99 though :( lol
I know this is a late comment, but my algorithm is recommending a lot of Kingdom Hearts videos right now. I’ve got almost every Kingdom Hearts platinum except Chain of Memories, 0.2, and Remind. I absolutely hate the gameplay of Chain and have tried multiple times but always quit playing. I even tried a proud mode run without dying to speed up the platinum, but barely finished the second world. It’s just a painful experience for me and probably the game I’m most embarrassed not to have the plat on. 0.2 and Remind are mainly problems because I started on proud mode and know I’d need to start over on beginner to get the secret bosses and point multipliers. It’s just a time commitment that I haven’t felt like dealing with yet
Did you know RE:Coded on the DS has trophies? I remember those being challenging. I never got the platinum for DDD because the game didn’t click with me. I got the plats for KH1, KH2, KH3, BBS, and CoM on PS4. Right now I’m starting the grind for KH1 on PS3 and wow, 3 playthroughs is wild.
A lot of people don't know this, yes, you can double platinum KH1, Re:com, KH2 & BBS but you can also double platinum KH3. For some reason the Chinese version has it's own Trophy list. I still can't believe I double BBS 😭 never again 🤣 MoM's platinum can f**k itself. "Shining Platinum" and "Legendary Battler" drove me crazy!!! 😭😭
There may be no complete the game on Proud Mode difficulty, but you do need to at least enter Proud Mode and farm it a bit as there is a trophy for equipping every ability in the game, and you need to be in Proud or Critical Mode, which only unlocks after you complete the game, to get EXP Zero, which is an ability you need to equip for that trophy. So while there is no difficulty trophy, you still need to play the game a short bit in the higher difficulties to obtain EXP Zero. All your Dream Eater abilities are reset on New Game+ so you have to farm up the AP to get all those abilities back.
In re:chain you can affect the enemy card you get by making sure the last one you kill is the one with the card your seeking. So make sure you don’t kill an enemy that you have a card for already last cause then you won’t get the one you want.
I somewhat cheesed the pro codes by creating stat boost items, which right after launch would negate the level 1 stat code. I think I used every pro code and only needed to play up until I had beaten a few data fights to get max rank. Lord knows I wasn't going to fight Yozora with my hands tied behind my back!
I'm surprised you put KH2 so "low", I thought KH1 was much easier to do personally lol but it could be that I was 14 when I did KH2 plat and 20 when I finished the KH1 plat.. But hard agree on BBS and Re:com. I'm on Re:Com rn leveling Riku and it's just.. painfully boring especially in comparison to how easy it is to level Sora in KH1 😭
For BBS, It wasn't that much difficult, Just the grinding 3 times, but TERRA. JUST ONLY HIM... WAS A PAIN IN THE ***. Board command i've appreciated at the end.
Just subbed to you! Im surprised by how little subs you have because you have quality content! I look forward to seeing what you come up with down the line! 😀
i played KH3 on launch so i had to play it a second time when Crit mode was patched in a few months later. I wasn't going to do another playthrough when Re:mind was released(which already made you replay the final 5 hours anyway) so i did the pro-code grind on data fights. It was very challenging but at least not boring. I also think i would put BBS higher than KH3 Re:mind because BBS is unreasonably grindy and just beating MystFig with Terra alone would be much harder than doing KH3 data fights without getting hit. And much more unfair.
I actually just started my Platinum KH grind. I got KH1 in about 70 hours. I did KH3 before that in around 40. I'm going to be rational and not count Melody Of Memories as a game. I always get 100% on KHII Critical. 2.8 is next on my list.
my greatest gaming achievement in my gaming career is having every plat for every Kingdom Hearts game (PS4 versions)...i never had access to the PS3 versions unfortunately
I'd argue that Re:Com is easily the worst of them all. I've platinum'd every single KH game (apart from 3 Remind but I don't count it) and the idea of mindlessly grinding for as long as Re:Com asks you to is more than enough for me to not wanna bother.
ALSO ALONG WITH KILLING THE ENEMY LAST FOR ENEMY CARD FILL OUT YOUR ROOM CARD INVENTORY. Drop rate for enemy card goes up. It’s either that or you get nothing
4:34 This is actually not true, kinda. "Ability Ace" requires all permanent (red, I think?) abilities to be unlocked and equipped, which includes EXP Zero, so you can only get it on Proud and Critical. New Game Plus can be used to minimize the issue, but still, technically it is a difficulty specific trophy.
I agree with the list 90% but I would definitely swap Bbs with kh3 remind the pro code wasn't to bad on beginner I use them all till I got to the 5 figth on remind
Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep are the only 2 games I just couldn't platinum! Farming and grinding and getting everything completed for Ven, Terra and Aqua was just busy work! I completed Ven's for 90%, Terra was 70% and Aqua was...40% I think. I just couldn't do it any further. I had enough. And those damn Dream Eater's! Piss off with that shit! I didn't even both with that shit in the original 3DS version. And before the game came out, I was already guessing 95% of those damn trophies was going to have something to do with the Dream Eater's! I was right. once again, it was just too much busy work. DON'T GET ME WRONG! In the other titles, like Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 and even that Pro Rank Code bullshit was tough as hell! I worked my ass off for those trophies. But...at least I had some enjoyment from it. From all the games. Especially from Kingdom Hearts 2! That's my favorite game in the series. I still enjoyed Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep. But their platinum trophies can kiss my ass.
Subscribed! Kingdom hearts is one of my favorite Series is. If not, my favorite Series glad you made this video. I don’t think I’ll be going for the Plats because I’m terrible at games with the hardest difficulty on the hardest, difficulty but very educational video. Can’t wait to see you next platniums! Kingdom hearts 2 is my favorite and an absolute masterpiece hope we hear more on KH4 we got that one trailer now Square Enix is just somebody that we used to know.
I'm surprised BbS is so high on the list. I've been running through the series again and it's so far the most natural to get close to platinum. Maybe the super bosses will be difficult. I might go back to try and get platinum for everything. I've never had trouble playing it on critical mode. Not really an additional challenge for me. Plus I enjoy the command board game
I prefer doing BBS plat over Re:CoM. I actually really enjoy BBS so doing everything 3 times isn't great but I still like doing it. But for CoM, I love the story and basic ganeplay, but the trophies are just too much of a grind. The max level trophies alone ruin it for me never mind the card collection (which is easier when you look up rng manip, but it still sucks). I'd rather replay knockoff mariokart for the 3rd time and fight mysterious figure again than spend another 5 hours killing neoshadows as Riku
Also another comment for Xemnas being easier due to having party members. Sure they may not be that helpful, but they let you use limits which ARE helpful.
This would explain why remind is the only thing I haven’t done! COM levelling Riku is the worst part of the entire series. Also don’t you need to do 3D on critical to get one of the commands or am I making that up- so long ago that I did it
Only comment I’ll make is that Melody of Memory can be just draining to platinum. I try to go at it day by day but it’s unfortunately not an amazing rythm game by any stretch and sitting through 7 songs a day on easy is awful
I kinda had fun with BBS command board. It was like a fun kingdom hearts version of monopoly with a Mario party aesthetic. Rumble racing though… nup. No thanks. You ain’t no Mario kart!
Ill have to get back to 3s platinum at some point but the cooking (especially the egg cracking) made me unreasonably angry. I never like having to make fine, indeterminate inputs; Square Enix seems to love those. Ive actually done BBS and yeah Mysterious Figure with Terra is painful because of his shitty dodge.
I just got 3 games but eatch game has like 6 games in it and i started final mix as my first one but the gane is 1.5 2.5 or something on steam and there is 190 achievements 😮
fun fact: if you go over the 100 hour mark it re-counts for the 15 hour trophy for KH1
Can confirm did it 2 days ago
Wait so if I get over 100 Hours on KH1 I can redo Ansem fight and I'll get the Trophy for the time completion?

Actually KH2 did have a unique optional gummi boss... It's just SO optional that there's not even a trophy for it.
There is a trophy. Well not for him but you need to defeat him to have all the gummi ship
You mentioned it but there actually is an RNG manipulation in Re Com to garuntee enemy card drops. Although it's kinda obscure and if it doesn't work you still have to grind so recom is still a pain LOL

Frankly, KH3 should reward you with a separate platinum altogether just for defeating Yozora. Seriously
I’m proud to be one of those few people who have all the Re:Mind trophies!
Having just 100% re:com on the steam release, i feel encouraged to do it for the rest of the series. There is a video on youtube somewhere to manipilate the rng for enemy cards but its not guaranteed and may require reloading. I didnt use it myself though so i cant confirm its value firsthand.
With Terra fighting the Mysterious Figure I completed it tonight took an hour you just gotta get used to hitting thunder surge and you take your thumb and press back on the joy stick. Hit a thunder surge dodge backwards square and back on joystick then hit again. Start a flow of that. But I can see how people were upset with that boss fight.
Melody of Memroy is the only I haven't Platinumed (or played lol), and it's been so long since the ps3 days, I had forgotten about the difficulties not stacking haha.
Cool to find such a cool channel so early on, can't wait to watch the numbers climb for ya!
Same bbs is the hardest imo
Real quick, for 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, you don't have to sit through 3 hours for each one. You can go to the chapter/scene select and it then gives you the option to skip each scene when you pause. Takes about 10 minutes instead of 3 hours.
You can cheese mysterious figure in BBS by turning off all your abilities and buffs. He slows down and doesn’t use his crazy countdown move as often.
I’ve played all number titles and currently dream drop. I’ve played these games multiple t
Times. So I had more experience going into these platinum runs but BBs will be the death of me😭
I'm kinda upset you have less subscribers than I do cause these videos are so concise and entertaining. Take this sub binch.
It's kinda funny - I'm one of Birth By Sleep's biggest fans, I love Command Board, I didn't mind doing the minigames, I like command melding, but even I would never want to Platinum the game purely on Critical again. It's just so much time.
working my way through the series Platinum's, on KH Re Chain of Memories right now. I was dreading the randomness of the enemy cards until I found a TH-cam channel that shows you how to manipulate the game to get every single enemy card, so it reduced the time significantly for me to get that trophy. About to be stuck on leveling up Riku to 99 though :( lol
I know this is a late comment, but my algorithm is recommending a lot of Kingdom Hearts videos right now.
I’ve got almost every Kingdom Hearts platinum except Chain of Memories, 0.2, and Remind. I absolutely hate the gameplay of Chain and have tried multiple times but always quit playing. I even tried a proud mode run without dying to speed up the platinum, but barely finished the second world. It’s just a painful experience for me and probably the game I’m most embarrassed not to have the plat on.
0.2 and Remind are mainly problems because I started on proud mode and know I’d need to start over on beginner to get the secret bosses and point multipliers. It’s just a time commitment that I haven’t felt like dealing with yet
Did you know RE:Coded on the DS has trophies? I remember those being challenging.
I never got the platinum for DDD because the game didn’t click with me. I got the plats for KH1, KH2, KH3, BBS, and CoM on PS4. Right now I’m starting the grind for KH1 on PS3 and wow, 3 playthroughs is wild.
A lot of people don't know this, yes, you can double platinum KH1, Re:com, KH2 & BBS but you can also double platinum KH3. For some reason the Chinese version has it's own Trophy list. I still can't believe I double BBS 😭 never again 🤣 MoM's platinum can f**k itself. "Shining Platinum" and "Legendary Battler" drove me crazy!!! 😭😭
When you say double platinum, are you talking about the ps3 version?
There may be no complete the game on Proud Mode difficulty, but you do need to at least enter Proud Mode and farm it a bit as there is a trophy for equipping every ability in the game, and you need to be in Proud or Critical Mode, which only unlocks after you complete the game, to get EXP Zero, which is an ability you need to equip for that trophy. So while there is no difficulty trophy, you still need to play the game a short bit in the higher difficulties to obtain EXP Zero. All your Dream Eater abilities are reset on New Game+ so you have to farm up the AP to get all those abilities back.
In re:chain you can affect the enemy card you get by making sure the last one you kill is the one with the card your seeking. So make sure you don’t kill an enemy that you have a card for already last cause then you won’t get the one you want.
I somewhat cheesed the pro codes by creating stat boost items, which right after launch would negate the level 1 stat code. I think I used every pro code and only needed to play up until I had beaten a few data fights to get max rank. Lord knows I wasn't going to fight Yozora with my hands tied behind my back!
I'm surprised you put KH2 so "low", I thought KH1 was much easier to do personally lol but it could be that I was 14 when I did KH2 plat and 20 when I finished the KH1 plat..
But hard agree on BBS and Re:com. I'm on Re:Com rn leveling Riku and it's just.. painfully boring especially in comparison to how easy it is to level Sora in KH1 😭
For BBS, It wasn't that much difficult, Just the grinding 3 times, but TERRA. JUST ONLY HIM... WAS A PAIN IN THE ***. Board command i've appreciated at the end.
Just subbed to you! Im surprised by how little subs you have because you have quality content! I look forward to seeing what you come up with down the line! 😀
i played KH3 on launch so i had to play it a second time when Crit mode was patched in a few months later. I wasn't going to do another playthrough when Re:mind was released(which already made you replay the final 5 hours anyway) so i did the pro-code grind on data fights. It was very challenging but at least not boring. I also think i would put BBS higher than KH3 Re:mind because BBS is unreasonably grindy and just beating MystFig with Terra alone would be much harder than doing KH3 data fights without getting hit. And much more unfair.
I actually just started my Platinum KH grind. I got KH1 in about 70 hours. I did KH3 before that in around 40. I'm going to be rational and not count Melody Of Memories as a game. I always get 100% on KHII Critical. 2.8 is next on my list.
am i the only one that absolutely loved the command board??????
Don’t have much to say but algorithm bump
my greatest gaming achievement in my gaming career is having every plat for every Kingdom Hearts game (PS4 versions)...i never had access to the PS3 versions unfortunately
MoM is the only plat I have bc I just really like it and it is the only reason I know most of the songs here 😭
Getting all the dreameaters friendship caped took me forever. Doing that stupid Ballon mini game over and over ugh
I'd argue that Re:Com is easily the worst of them all. I've platinum'd every single KH game (apart from 3 Remind but I don't count it) and the idea of mindlessly grinding for as long as Re:Com asks you to is more than enough for me to not wanna bother.
I’ve also platted all of the games (except melody of memory because that sounds awful)
Can’t wait to see what you think!
yes you can manipulate all the enemy cards in chain of memories
This guy must be a god at these games 😂
For those doing the Re:COM platinum there is a whole guide by DERIKUF which has the data manipulation to get the enemy cards. It was a godsend
ALSO ALONG WITH KILLING THE ENEMY LAST FOR ENEMY CARD FILL OUT YOUR ROOM CARD INVENTORY. Drop rate for enemy card goes up. It’s either that or you get nothing
Just did the KH1 platinum on ps4 (first time playing this series) and I look at these other games and I think I'm starting to regret this a little
4:34 This is actually not true, kinda. "Ability Ace" requires all permanent (red, I think?) abilities to be unlocked and equipped, which includes EXP Zero, so you can only get it on Proud and Critical. New Game Plus can be used to minimize the issue, but still, technically it is a difficulty specific trophy.
I still haven’t beaten Xion, Master Xehanort or Yozora in KH3… Still 😩
I agree with the list 90% but I would definitely swap Bbs with kh3 remind the pro code wasn't to bad on beginner I use them all till I got to the 5 figth on remind
Just dropped a sub. Dope ass video my man
Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep are the only 2 games I just couldn't platinum! Farming and grinding and getting everything completed for Ven, Terra and Aqua was just busy work! I completed Ven's for 90%, Terra was 70% and Aqua was...40% I think. I just couldn't do it any further. I had enough. And those damn Dream Eater's! Piss off with that shit! I didn't even both with that shit in the original 3DS version. And before the game came out, I was already guessing 95% of those damn trophies was going to have something to do with the Dream Eater's! I was right. once again, it was just too much busy work. DON'T GET ME WRONG! In the other titles, like Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 and even that Pro Rank Code bullshit was tough as hell! I worked my ass off for those trophies. But...at least I had some enjoyment from it. From all the games. Especially from Kingdom Hearts 2! That's my favorite game in the series. I still enjoyed Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep. But their platinum trophies can kiss my ass.
Subscribed! Kingdom hearts is one of my favorite Series is. If not, my favorite Series glad you made this video. I don’t think I’ll be going for the Plats because I’m terrible at games with the hardest difficulty on the hardest, difficulty but very educational video. Can’t wait to see you next platniums! Kingdom hearts 2 is my favorite and an absolute masterpiece hope we hear more on KH4 we got that one trailer now Square Enix is just somebody that we used to know.
I'm surprised BbS is so high on the list. I've been running through the series again and it's so far the most natural to get close to platinum. Maybe the super bosses will be difficult. I might go back to try and get platinum for everything. I've never had trouble playing it on critical mode. Not really an additional challenge for me. Plus I enjoy the command board game
The only one I’ve platinumed is BBS and it took FOR FREAKING EVER!!!! I’m trying for KH2 rn but the data battles keep beating the crap out of me
Hello, I have every KH Platinum trophy in a row back to back (minus MoM - i'll start that soon)
In KH2 you don’t need an S rank on ALL the gummi missions. At least, not on PS4. I’m not sure if it’s the same on PS3
I prefer doing BBS plat over Re:CoM. I actually really enjoy BBS so doing everything 3 times isn't great but I still like doing it. But for CoM, I love the story and basic ganeplay, but the trophies are just too much of a grind. The max level trophies alone ruin it for me never mind the card collection (which is easier when you look up rng manip, but it still sucks). I'd rather replay knockoff mariokart for the 3rd time and fight mysterious figure again than spend another 5 hours killing neoshadows as Riku
synthesist and one for the books is a little bit rarer than datascraper
I thought you had to do something on proud of higher in DDD
bruh this was a good video, why the hell are you under 1k subs! criminal!
Also another comment for Xemnas being easier due to having party members. Sure they may not be that helpful, but they let you use limits which ARE helpful.
There is rng manipulation for the cards in recom still a pain in the ass though
kh3 is easy to platinum IF you are on console, because on the pc version YOU HAVE to defeat yozora if you want to get the platinum
I tried to get all plats but once i got to bbs i just couldnt 💀
2.8 has a platinum?
This would explain why remind is the only thing I haven’t done! COM levelling Riku is the worst part of the entire series. Also don’t you need to do 3D on critical to get one of the commands or am I making that up- so long ago that I did it
Let's go the video I suggested happened!!
question, there arent any trophies for recoded and 358/2 days for the PS4 right?
Only comment I’ll make is that Melody of Memory can be just draining to platinum. I try to go at it day by day but it’s unfortunately not an amazing rythm game by any stretch and sitting through 7 songs a day on easy is awful
Kingdom hearts bosses were the soulsborne bosses before thesoulsborne
Subbed. Liked. Came. Good video, hombre 👍
I kinda had fun with BBS command board. It was like a fun kingdom hearts version of monopoly with a Mario party aesthetic.
Rumble racing though… nup. No thanks. You ain’t no Mario kart!
Ill have to get back to 3s platinum at some point but the cooking (especially the egg cracking) made me unreasonably angry. I never like having to make fine, indeterminate inputs; Square Enix seems to love those. Ive actually done BBS and yeah Mysterious Figure with Terra is painful because of his shitty dodge.
I just got 3 games but eatch game has like 6 games in it and i started final mix as my first one but the gane is 1.5 2.5 or something on steam and there is 190 achievements 😮
kh ddd u need to play on expert or critical to have the platinium because u need 0xp for a trophy
🔥🔥
