FFXIII's Treasure Hunter was the bane of my existence when I was younger. I got every single other trophy in that game by 2011, and me and a friend worked so hard to try and get Treasure Hunter and the Platinum back then but we came up short. I was so distressed by all the effort going to nothing that I couldn't bring myself to come back and try again in the proceeding 12 years, haha. I dug my old PS3 out of storage when I was getting ready to move at the beginning of this year and it got me thinking about that damned trophy again. I still had all my old saves and a MUCH better guide to it and so I finally managed to do it. Finally got that Platinum trophy, 12 years in the making, haha.
Your basically me😅
The pisstake was that it was potentially impossible. Iirc it was a damn ice bangle or something that was missable. Thankfully I got the plat but it took 210 hours. Honestly I find ffxii harder, because you need to perform ridiculous amounts of quickening combos which are basically random. Could never manage it.
@@reahthorolund8373 That damned Frost Ring, haha! Just the fact that you could miss an accessory because you didn't upgrade EVERYTHING was infuriating. Not to mention the panic attack I had when I realized there were only 3 Doctor's Code's in the game and I only had two when I checked back then... ugh... it was so stressful! I only ever had XII on the PS2 so I never bothered to try to 100%, but I Platinumed the OG 7 and the Remake, and now I'm working through Crisis Core. I just recently Platinumed FFX after like a million years cause I finally mustered up enough energy to dodge the lightning bolts, haha. I swear it's the stupidest trophies that get ya! And I'm going nowhere near the FFX-2 Platinum, haha. I don't think I have it in me right now to get into the weeds like that. 😂
Congrats on eventually getting it, I love FF13 so much I went for platinum twice and never got it. No idea what I missed but I'll try a 3rd time at some point!!
@@marketman2187 Thank you! Honestly, I wanted that Platinum so bad because 13 is one of my favorite games ever. If I learned anything from the experience, it's... you'll get it eventually. Even if you need to step away from it for a little while (or a LONG while, haha). If Treasure Hunter is your issue like it was mine, get yourself a good guide or a list of weapons and accessories and go madman on it. Double and triple check, keep your own list. Once you get into the upgrading part it becomes a bit wider, but definitely a lot more straightforward. Once you know who you have to kill to farm materials, it's just grinding, but realizing you don't have one of the base form weapons or accessories after all of that is really annoying. Fortunately most of the weapons and accessories you need are purchasable, so if you're on that track, start by clearing out every single store, haha. Rooting for you! 😁
Got the 7 Remake, 9, 10-2, 13 and 14 (PS4) platinums on this list. Working away at the PS5 platinum for FF14 slowly. Really surprised that 12 didn’t feature on this list though as that required all sky pirate den achievements, espers and hunts. On top of that, the trial mode with the judge boss fight was no joke. Either way, great vid as always.
How did you manage the jump rope trophy in FF9?
@@larrymeadows7535 I linked the console on my PC and runned a program to do it. I guess you can find on youtube.
Big FFXII fan here and I'd say its Platinum doesn't count as "hard" compared to most games because nearly all of XII's trophies are tied to combat and exploration. It's just a checklist, so while time-consuming, it's very straightforward. Other games have trophies attached to minigames or weird one-time mechanics, which are more challenging.
XII's hardest trophy that I can remember is the one for getting all the Mist concurrences, as there's a bit of RNG there.
XII wasnt easy for sure, but it was such an enjoyable game I didn't care how long it took. One of my absolutely favorites
@@iamerror7392 Remember the battle sound effect? So clean ^^) Love it.
7 Ruby/emerald weapon i guess.
8 omega
9 jump rope and bloodlust
10 penance and dun sigil
10-2 trema and just how detailed you have to be for 100 percent. Need a damn good guide
12 100 floor boss rush.
13 all items. So many dead turtles...
15 fishing? This one wasn't too bad if you sink the time in
The ones from 7&8 were made easier by the boosts added to the game. I managed to get both without too much issue.
Treasure hunter on 13 is annoying me at the moment
@@paulfox5331 are you strong enough to kill the giant turtles yet?
@@mattsully2238 yeah I want to have that as my final achievement so want treasure hunter then will do that
@@paulfox5331 you'll need the turtles for money. Hardest part of treasure hunter is you need to upgrade every weapon and accessory. The turtles drops are the best way to raise cash for the resources required to upgrade your stuff. Lots and lots of adamantitois killing
9. For sure 9. That was a beast. 10+ hours of simple kill grinding. Ugh
Not looking forward to doing this 😕
@@thisdadsplatinumjourney I found the optimal set up for kill grinding and then set up the Lord of the rings extended edition on my portable DVD player. Almost finished all three movies .... For real though, look up the remote play hack for the jump rope stuff. It's not possible otherwise
@Matt Sully haha for sure I'll be lining up some podcasts or movies for sure to get me through 😁 I've got the jump rope and yeah did the hack 😅
Dude no kidding. Took me about 3-4 days, 3 hours each, to get that trophy...then, just as a major "fuck you," you have to be extra careful with FF9 and saving. Because kills don't carry over in-between saves or in-between playthroughs. It needs to be on **one save** and on **one playthrough**. Oh, and by the way, there's no way of checking how many enemies you kill. Felt like Square was overcompensating for how easy 7 and 8 were lol.
I definitely watched TV for this one, and also grinding the sphere grid in x and farming andamantoises in xiii. It's just so mind numbing otherwise
I actually got the platinum "A Realm Restored" from the PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV. The hard part wasn't the farming. It was having to wait six real life months to get "An Adventurer's Life" which is completing 1000 levequests. There is no way to reduce this time as you only get three levequest allowances every 12 hours of real time and you will lose levequest allowances if you are capped at 100. However, I do admit that the FATE grind and dungeon grinds were tedious.
I was obsessed with trophies many years, getting more than 40 platinums, until I recently disabled their notifications and hide them from my PSN profile. Gaming more on Switch has made this easier when coming back to the PS5 to play.
I prefer to take the challenges that the game presents itself than having an external checklist. Also I started spoiling myself looking for missable trophies.
For example I love FFX, but I hate how stupid the trophy about maximising every single character with all the sphere grid nodes were. I also hated the FFIX trophies. FFVII (original) trophies makes you do the Barret date, which ruins a little bit the first playthrough of an average player (thanksfully I completed it more than 10 times before getting it for PS4 and going for its platinum).
So overall I think trophies, at least for me, are now a negative that I would like to disable because they affect my enjoyment. Thankfully they are easier to ignore without notifications.
PS - Excellent video, as always.
Something to be noted with Final Fantasy 14. The collectibles on the crafting tier. They are specific to certain quest turn ins. So they are outside of your normal crafting. Turning in collectibles results in crafting Scripps. Which can be used to buy various items. Gathering also has a similar theme to it. So normal items you would craft make money. Don’t actually apply to that trophy.
I have Final Fantasy 7, Crisis Core, 7 Remake, 8, 10, 13, 15, Strangers of Paradise and Type 0 platinumed. 9 and 12 I can fully understand that I will never get them, everything will take time. 13-2 I'm close to platinuming
I did FFX... that's good enough for me😂 Hollow Knight is still the hardest game I've got that platinum for.
I already have it in my mind that I'm going to platinum FF16, so there better not be any unfair trophies to get for it. 😅
FFVII Remake was my first ever platinum, just last year, and it made me appreciate the game so much more, which is impressive given how amazing the base game is! That being said, it'll probably be a while before I try and replay it, I get flashbacks of grinding for every dress combo.
I had the platinum for it on PS4 and did again for PS5...basically have two platinums for FFVII remake, what a game. But I feel ya, the dress grind is painful
@@felipeviana1994 Just started my Crisis Core Reunion Plat grind! It's not off to a great start, in all honesty, lol
I have one for 7 Remake, 9, X-2, and PS4 version of 14. I didn't even know there was a PS5 list separate, thats interesting. I've gotten Platinum Trophies for all mainline games before the Pixel Remaster dropped on PS4, so I'm going to work on those next
Just got the plat for each of the pixel remasters, got 7, 7r, 8, 13-2, 15 as well. Don't think I've done any others due to requirements.
Nice work 👏
@This Dad's Platinum Journey thanks, they're the relatively easy ones though.
Final fantasy 7 remake only trophy that was ridiculous was the prototype one. Everything else was pretty easy. Facing bakhumut and ifrit at the same time was stupid hard. Idk how many tries I did but once I got the platinum it felt soooo good.
*sees the Dissidia NT trophies*
Fighting game fans: “Now you know how difficult the genre can be sometimes”
Was a harsh month for me and i love the game a lot and am a regular with fighting games lol
Treasure hunter from FFXIII was something I really did try. I had enough gil and ressources but didn't want to Do everything in the menus.
Battle grinding was ok but I couldn't be bothered
I don’t think ff12 would have been completable before internet guides or a amazing guide book at all if ps2 had trophies. Just because of all the drop rate shit from only this chest or rare enemies that you can go the whole game not know they exist.
I just got FF9's and what the heck were they thinking when programming some of those trophies?
FF7 Remake was a very easy platinum for me. Surprised it's even mentioned here. The most difficult challenge is completing hard mode, but that (new game+ hard mode) is the definitive and most fun way to play. The Bahamut + Ifrit, as well as the Clod fight also become rather irrelevant if you just focus on healing and equip elemental+fire materia to Cloud's armor. At that point you can just beat on Bahamut while Ifrit heals you, and Clod uses a flamethrower attack every now and then that also heals you.
Unless you can't see Bahamut's mega flare countdown with all the chaos and can't quite put out the dps to interrupt it. I think it took me several tries with a guide and heavy materia grinding to finally get through it. Just having fire absorb on the armor alone isn't enough to make it easy, but it does help significantly
Got almost everything on the list except Chocobo and Dissidia which I don't have. I've yet to play FFX-2 HD. FFXIV is my longest platinum up to this day! Took me 2400+ hours
Does anyone know if Sony has any plans on how to resolve the issue surrounding locked online multiplayer trophies? I have a couple games that no longer have online playability due to server shutdowns, yet I'm an achievement hunter and desperately want to earn the platinum trophies for those games. If they made the decision to add those trophies, knowing full well that they would need to rely on the presence of online servers, then they should either not have included them, found a way to keep the servers running, or found a new solution altogether.
yet right now i'm stuck farming job levels in FF3 3d remake, tails in FF4 3D remake, and beginning to work on after years on steam.
Got the FFXIV PS4 plat last year after 8 years of playing on and off time to work on the PS5
I've been replaying FF13 and FF7R just to get a feel of the blend of action combat meets ATB mix and honestly... FF13 was not *that* bad of a game, and has aged really well. I just don't think people were ready to make such a leap from the guided story FF10 offered and the significant change in combat systems. FF7R MASTERED that blend by giving you the guided story still while maintaining that ATB system FF13 had in a different way.
TL;DR - FF13 wasn't a bad game and I think we were all too harsh on it.
Just one question, how in the hell did you get a platinum trophy for What Remains of Edith Finch because as far as I know at least for the United States there is no platinum trophy for said game.
9 is the hardest to get the legit way because of jump rope. You can speed run under 14 hours on your second playthrough. 10 is the second hardest because of lightning dodger. 10 is probably also the most time consuming. Remake i don't feel should be on this list, it is relatively easy and the original 7 would be much more difficult the legit way. I never got into the mmos but realm reborn looks daunting and i heard it is difficult for the raiding trophies. I just started working on 12's plat, it seems straight forward and not difficult, and lengthy which i like. I miss the open world games a lot, although i did still enjoy remake and crisis core. Crisis core in it's self is not difficult but everything is missable so you have to be very meticulous, and the 300 missions suck because of time, but only the last one is against minerva is hard. 15 is not hard, but i would even put that one ahead of remake in difficulty. But i enjoyed 15 so much i got 3 platinums on it, American, European, and Japanese. I hear you can get 5 plats on it, but i don't know how to get my hands on the other 2. I'm also waiting to get 1-6 when it's on sale as the bundle. 13 i never finished, i really disliked the automation aspect and some of the characters, i stopped after the first disc ended and never went back, i was so disappointed in the franchise until 15 saved it for me. Tactics was another beloved one that is getting a remake soon. Strangers in paradise doesn't seem too difficult, in playing through on the hardest mode and it's a lot of refighting the same fights. And the story isn't drawing me in very much. It also seems weird trying to do certain combinations to attack in a final fantasy game, i don't like that aspect but it is visually nice. I'm not sure if I'll finish it though. And 16 is coming out in 2 weeks so I'm excited. I think I'll pause 12 and jump straight to 16 then come back haha. And i hope to see open world return soon, but the two hardest tasks in all games is jump rope in 9 and second is lightning dodger in 10, making them the toughest. What a great series to talk about.
As much as I love Final Fantasy IX, there is no way in hell I will ever get the platinum because of how punishing and demanding some of the trophy requirements are. The jump rope one and the Excalibur II fill me with utter dread.
i have the ff9 platinum, fucking bloodlust man............
I stopped caring about achievements/trophies post-Xbox 360.
Saying that though give me 9's over 7-Rs any day, I think 9 is better game so willing to play it more and the only hard one really is the jump rope. 7r I can not stand Hard mode, which also blocks me out of the true ending which is stupid.
PS: yes killing 10k enemies sucks, but it is not hard it is just time.
After Final Fantasy 13 platinum, I never sell any weapons EVER!! Lol
The FF XVI demo launch is inminent!
Pride and joy wasn't that hard - Bahamut with the Ifrit combo was absurd.
i wont even touch FF9 because the jump rope trophy
I have 1 single playstation platinum trophy and that is from FF15 lol and yes I've been on PlayStation since 2009/10
I'm right in the middle of a 100% Platinum Challenge for the entire FF series. I've completed 1-7 and am on FF7 Remake right now. These games are coming up soon and it's about to get very interesting. Thanks for another awesome video!
same only I'm on FF6 having done all the rest
Same here! Unfortunately I haven’t done 1-6, but I have done 7 and 8. 9 is a pain doing the jump rope challenge.
@@will__woods2701 same! The jump rope challenge is pure ridiculousness.
Good luck 🙏 I was planning to do the same, but after completing Dissidia and Chocobo I changed my mind.
WTF asked you
When I was a kid (probably 15ish years ago) I managed to 100% ff10. That's my best accomplishment in all my videogame play time.
No Platinum Trophy? It never happened... Jk 👍
@@Davethawave1999 even worse I kept the memory card for years and years and it turns out my xwife decided to go through my box of games and took my memory card and wiped it so she could play something (can't recall what game) and lost my 1100 hour save.
Got it on the ps2, never managed to do it on the ps3 - only thing missing is the 0:00 chocobo race 🙈
@@zackfair6203 I platinumed, the 0.00 race is annoying and also requires luck. Reward is worth it though.
@@RazTheOtter1100 hours? That was lots of grinding, and blitzball I imagine.
Never been a fan of trophies mostly because some of these stuff is painful to do, but I definitely respect the commitment of those who do this
If I really enjoy a game, I will usually make a half-hearted attempt to get the platinum trophy after I've beaten it. But it doesn't take much friction for me to abandon the pursuit. I love a challenge, but I have no patience.
My favorite trophies are the ones that point you toward jokes and easter eggs. Those are especially common in adventure games such as "Day of the Tentacle Remastered" and "Disco Elysium". I love when a trophy makes me look for something I wouldn't have even known about.
I will never platinum 9 because of that darn jump rope trophy and I’m not ok with that
it's ok to screw this. i only do the sword fighting minigame and running with Hippaul. it's ridiculouosly hard, as is that thunder dodging minigame in FFX.
Maybe if we ever get the rumoured remake, they'll drop the skipping, lol.
I'll admit,I did the remote play trick. It's cheating, I know but damn, how anyone could do this legit, I don't know. Even with the automated hack, the timing is so tight, that any bump in your internet and the hack fails. I had to run the algorithm three times before it succeeded
Yep remote play was my only option and it still works its worth doing because screw the jump rope trophy 😅
I'm surprised final fantasy 10 didn't even make the list, I feel just completing the sphere grid of every character earns it a spot.
That's not hard though. just time consuming.
Dodging lightning is still worse than that.
The worst one was the Chocobo Race for me. It was my last one in X. And honestly im just bad at it. Ive had several hundred tries... In the End a friend of mine did it for me in like under 50 runs... xD
@@ezrael7944 I attempted it for the first time in my life about 3 weeks ago and got it on my 8th try.
I just couldn't get Lulu's special weapon because of the "dodge lightening" challenge. I am surprised that didn't make the list as well.
I 100% completed FFVII Remake months ago. But I must say the hardest challenges to me was the Pull Up mini game, Squat minigame, Yuffie Box Challenge, and the Shinra Battle Simulator (Yuffie DLC). A lot of people say that Fort Condor was hard, but you can literally cheese this easily (even on Hard Mode) just by spamming Dogs and Slug Rays 😂
But that Platinum felt magical ❤
Probably the plat I'm most proud of. Between the pull ups and the hard mode run through (I'm 40 and my reaction times aren't what they were) it was a challenging time. It never felt unfair though.
I didn't do all the Yuffie DLC stuff, but nothing felt egregiously difficult where I wanted to throw my controller. That Tifa pull-up challenge was pretty crazy though. I think I kept time for it out loud which helped me. And of course, some boss fights in Hard Mode were challenging if you didn't know how to cheese them or spam Tifa (I got the platinum in May 2020, so I didn't know).
The only thing I had trouble with on my platinum run was hell house on hard mode. Everything else was pretty breezy for me.
I installed the PS5 version ready to platinum it all over again, but then the platinum popped again automatically, so I turned it off 😂
I remember Pride and Joy being a relative cakewalk compared to that infernal Ifrit/Bahamut combo.
Absolutely. I truly think the devs put the hardest fight before Pride & Joy on purpose because there's no way they thought it was more difficult than that combo fight.
Oh definitely! In my run on the main story, Bahamut/Ifrit would always be the one I get stuck on! But Pride and Joy was pretty manageable to an extant. If I remember correctly just keep spamming Thunder and have Tifa attack from behind
100% easier.
Pride n Joy was easy AF compared to Bahamet n Ifrit.
Genuinely I remember taking so long to defeat Bahamut and Ifrit that even after hearing the Pride and Joy prototype wasn't that hard, I still took the fight seriously and ended up laughing on how quickly I finished it
It’s such a shame that the platinum trophy for FFIX is so unbelievably hard. Since it’s my favourite game of all time, and I’m not nearly skilled enough by now to power through all those rediculous trophies. But it doesn’t mean I enjoy the game any less. It’s a master piece.
I’d like to confirm Chocobo Mystery Dungeon as one of the hardest in this entry, if not the hardest, now that I’m done with it.
This trophy list was definitely thought up to be a “best of” most painstakingly Final Fantasy trophies, the insatiable dungeon is a worse via infinito, the treasure hunter trophy consists of much more items you need to collect compared to 13’s, the every buddy trophy is like the bestiary of 10-2 only much worse, and maxing out all jobs is a long long grind just like the sphere grid in 10.
It’s not as known as the mainline entries, but wow! I’m not saying this lightly: this platinum was STRESSFUL! It took me around 145 hours to finally get it done, and every single dungeon was NEVER something you could mentally zone off, nono! Every one of them had a specific gimmick that made your life hard, you better stay alert or it’s back to the starting line. In the trophy list you have the Treasure Hunter trophy, which, FF13 enthusiasts guessed it already, collect all items, and nope, you don’t have a checklist, just like in 13, but what’s worse, is the every buddy trophy, which forced me not one, not twice, not thrice, but four times to do the hard and tedious, like really TEDIOUS 500 floor dungeon.
It’s a nice game, but I wouldn’t wish on anyone trying to get this platinum.
If someone though, isn’t discouraged by it, then I can only suggest the Beastmaster job+ Camilla/ dungeon hero x as a buddy, speed is extremely important in fights, and Beastmaster is the only job that casts haste to both, it doesn’t have access to slow or poison, unfortunately, but you can use books for that.
Missing 14 and 9 otherwise I've got them all.
Honestly I don't think I could ever do jump rope.
I struggled with the 200 lightning bolts in FFX. So no way I can get 1000 jumps
I am one trophy away from getting the platinum in XIII, XII, X, and IX respectively. This is my secret shame.
The only final fantasy game I got the platinum in was X.
I actually have the 100% completion trophy in X-2, it’s actually probably the most proud I’ve ever been for a trophy since they started on PS3 😂
PLEASE give me some advice for the Last Mission. It sucks so much 😂
yeah I don’t remember all that well since my trophies were combined over playing through the game on ps3 and then later ps4… I’m still not 100% sure the trophy didn’t trigger by accident 😂
Triple Tiara. It just breaks the game. What I did was make it past fifty, let Trema knock me back down to the entrance and killed everything on my way back up. This allowed me to be strong enough to take down the tonberries and Major Numerous once I reached them. Not the best way but it worked for me.
I got the Platinum on FF7R for PS4, The Gotterdammerung was the thing that got me through the rest of hard mode easier. I put it on Aerith during that boss fight with Barrett and Red XIII and with her level 2 it was much easier to manage
I can't remember if it was a trophy or not.. but in FF10 i think it was something like you had to dodge lightning so many times... I remember that was a really horrible experience.
Yup...the Thunder Plains where...if you manage to dodge the 200 lightning strikes, you'll end up getting Lulu's Venus sigil which you will need eventually to power up her Ultimate Weapon, the "Onion Knight".
It truly IS one BITCH of a challenge! 😫😫😫
that was an incredibly easy trophy...you just need an encounter-none armor and the crater near the entrance had a predictable strike pattern that pushed you to a tower, you basically just walked to the edge and perfect dodge the predictable bolts and rested under the tower every 10 or so strikes to rest your eyes and hand...i recently just finished my 10 platinum and did it on the first attempt. I think the butterfly minigame and 0.00 time on chocobo race were much more annoying...that being said, atleast all the annoying trophies in 10 link to legit things you needed to do in order to claim "i have a complete file"
My FF platinum collection will be forever growing, though IX.... It's gonna take some...
Great video as always!
I have 7r , 9 , x2 and 13 from the list . Others are x, 13-2 lightning returns 8,7,12, 15 , type 0 , crisis core , stranger of paradise working on the pixel stuff the now 😅starting at the final fantasy
100% FFIX was so stressful! Especially as someone who doesn't like missing anything I had to figure out what I could go back and complete/get/see and what was one time only 😅
Just cheat the jumprope, the devs couldn't get past 50 and if you didn't they would say stop wasting your time. Check out the completionist top 10 worst achievements if you need sauce.
Sorry, I just don't agree with your placement of FF X-2. Almost all of these problems can be solved using GameFaqs. And lets be clear about this, if you are going for Platinum, you are using a guide. And as for Trema; three Lv99 mascots, break HP/damage limit, Cactling Gun. He's an absolute breeze once you know what you are doing.
1000 rope jumps are the hardest trophy for me, more than "killing 10,000 monsters" in FFIX
You will eventually get bloodlust trophy in FFIX if you play the game long enough, or you can just easily turn on auto battle, fast forward, 9999 hit, and just let the game play by itself by running in circle on the world map until you kill 10,000 enemies.
So happy I got the plat from FFXIII just because I never have to do it again.
I think your last video on achievements/trophies slightly missed the mark and I think this one does too. FF7R is really not that tough of a platinum in the grand scheme of things. FFX not being present in the list is a head scratcher. That game requires some no life shenanigans to 100%.
Have 39 plats on my ps account, half of it are final fantasy. I got all FF's plat (even type-0 and world of FF) but 9 an 10-2. Just need to beat that sheet tower for the 10-2, as for 9 I don't even want to try. I remember getting very upset with the 1000 jumps back on ps1. FF 12 for me toke the longest time (170h) but was the most enjoyable to plat. Now working on FF 16 which seems not that hard to get.
I've said for years that Final Fantasy XIII is the platinum that I regret putting time into. I felt so empty getting that trophy. Treasure hunter... casting death on the dinosaur things for hours...
I feel you. I've put 135 hours into this game, and when I got that platinum trophy I've never felt this empty in my entire life. Like you said, it was not worth it at all. XIII-2 was better though !
@@MelisUnys Oh yeah. Platting FFXIII-2 actually felt good. Lightning Returns, I felt empty but not as much as FFXIII.
Literally just got platinum trophies from both FFX AND FFX 2.. the sphere grid in X made me see sphere grids in my sleep and X2 had more save backups than my sex life...
Played both when they came out, and they seemed easier back then...
Figured FF8 would be on here with all the card based trophies
I waited 15 years to play FFVII Remake, so I damn well sure I got that Platinum, which is the hardest one I ever got (harder than Bloodborne and Eldenring) but it was SO satisfying!
It's so interesting reading others' experiences. I got the FF7R plat and had a blast. Meanwhile, Bloodborne and Elden Ring are too hard for me! Lol
@@gamingreploid1866 the games or the plat? The games are hard, however the conditions of plating it are easy.
@@holitinne ah, I see. Soulsborne games themselves were too hard for me, so I tend to stay away from the genre as a whole. So I have no idea what the plat conditions are for them.
@@gamingreploid1866 yeah I finished four soulsborne games and plated two. I’m never going back to them.
7 Remake plat was easy, just grindy
I was able to platinum trophy the Final Fantasy VII remake. Granted it was nightmare inducing and a trip through hell but I’ve seen worse.
He 's right about the FFIX trophy, I couldn't even make it 5 jumps on that damned minigame!
I resorted to use an auto clicker on the pc version, those who made it legit are truly insane
Jirard the Completionist: *hold my beard*
You missed FFX and the damn Chocobo training races, lightning dodges, etc. Absolutely dreadful!
I managed to get the platinum for ix, and it almost ruined the game for me. It was just so unbelievably rough. I used a scripting program for the jump rope game, and I of course sped up the game for Excalibur 2, but even so, it was crazy to me at just how hard and involved it was. Of all my 200+ platinum trophies, this would probably be the one I would least like to attempt against
The jump rope on 9 is ridiculous. I stopped attempting the platinum after I finished the game at 64% lol
I am happy to say that I got all the platinum medals in Star Wars Episode 1: Battle for Naboo
I loved ff 12 sky den, it is how I envisioned trophies/achievements be like
As far as the list I have only gotten the FF7R plat so far. I will get more, but I saw the FF9 list and went, NAH I'm good.
I do want to throw in this note, I have the Plats for FF7R and CCFF7R. I've been working on the 12 and15 ones but probably won't actually get them for a bit plus trying to get the FF7 and FF8 ones. Might do the pixels but not sure yet.
i'm almost done with my ffx-2 plat
I've got the platinum on 1-12 love final fantasy and love challenge, except for 9 because the skip rope is cruel and I don't love cruelty 😂
Final Fantasy mini-game trophy's are the worst! 😅
Final Fantasy Zodiac Age definitely needed a mention - most give up just reading the requirements. The need to collect weapons with the some of the worst drop rates ever seen and THAT super boss!
Ff9 is my favorite in the series. Breaks my heart that jump rope was included in the plat 😭
I just need the platinums for the pixel remasters, Chocobo, FFXIII, and FFXIV (PS5).
Feel like X deserves at least an honorable mention as it's right up there with IX in terms of having a lot of annoying minigames as well as the long grind of completing the sphere grid for all characters
Pride and Joy was a cake walk compared to Bahamut.
Dissidia final fantasy nt it's actually easy just time consuming grindfest especially the ranked Bots help a lot just summon trial probably the hardest trophy to get overall it's still possible to obtain
Nah definitely harder platinums than final fantasy 7 remake that game was pretty tame platinum trophy wise I found final fantasy 12 and 10 harder personally
I have platinumed I, II, III, IV, VII (original), VIII, X, XIII, XIII-2 and XV. Currently playing FFV for the first time. Lost all hope for FFIX; sick of trying FFVII Remake; hate X-2; zero interest in XI and XIV. Future intended endeavours: FFVI, FFXII, FFXV (pocket) and FFXVI.
The PS5 version of FF14 getting a new trophy list was a very nicely timed kick to the shins for me, because it came out only a couple months after I finally finished getting the original Platinum on PS4. That already took several years of play to achieve... and now the list requires at times 3x as much as the first one. Nah. Nahhhhhhhhhhh.
In my opinion FF14 is probably the worst on this list, I estimated with a guy I met that was thinking of getting the platinum too that it would take about 150 hours to get some of the crafting trophies, which is just horrible if you hate crafting, and the 3000 fates is just offensive too in my opinion, it's hard to estimate but that would be at least another 100 hours of mindless grinding. I genuinely think it's unethical for developers to put trophies like this in their games, your time is precious.
You know the mini-game difficulty is next level when the recommended "solution" is to run a PC script via remote play. FFX lightning dodge has nothing on FFIX skip rope.
I have the FFVII Remake platinum on PS4, but when it came out on PS5 I couldn't be bothered to mess about with the file transfer so am working my way through the trophies on PS5 too.
By far, the platinum trophy for Final Fantasy XV is probably the most straight-forward and easiest of all to acquire, with the only real challenges being however much time players are going to be willing to devote to this game and the fight against Adamantoise. Despite being a title with a mixed reception, I played through the Royal Edition version without worrying too much about the additional trophies and I throughly enjoyed it. It's still one of my favorite Final Fantasy games to this day!
Use the ring and one shot it. Yes it works 😂
@Rossbines.. I did not have that luxury when the game first came out... easily 30mins
I need to return to it, i left it with only a few left. But i had also forgot how the combat worked last attempt, so it felt awful
As someone with the ps4 ff14 platinum i was genuinely kind of tilted when I upgraded to ps5 and saw that it requires things like savage, solo-ing deep dungeons, a and s rank hunts, etc. it's genuinely one of the most involved platinums i've ever heard of given how difficult a lot of these things are without years and years of effort.
And some salt on the wound is even if you did these things before upgrading it won't count for the ps5 trophies anyway.
I don't know about you all but I play games for fun not frustration. Throphies only add unneeded stress to me when I am simply trying to game casually.
I got the FF7 Remake platinum and once I finally got that one I felt like a big achievement has been accomplished. I am not someone who typically plays games on hard difficulty but I wanted to do a second playthrough of the game and I chose the hard difficulty. I started my second playthrough thinking I will just play it as far as I can get and then switch to easy, but that didn’t happen and I never gave up. Even though there was a few bosses I struggled with, I didn’t give up because I still had fun playing the game. Oddly I found my second playthrough, even though it took like twice as long to complete because I did everything, was much more fun than the first playthrough on easy.
I'm a trophy hunter and trophies have a hidden scoring system which make up your trophy level bronze are worth 30, silver 60, gold 90, and platinum 180.
Levels 1-99: 60 points (4 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 100-199: 90 points (6 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 200-299: 450 points (30 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 300-399: 900 points (60 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 400-499: 1,350 points (90 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 500-599: 1,800 points (120 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 600-699: 2,250 points (150 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 700-799: 2,700 points (180 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 800-899: 3,150 points (210 bronzes) per level-up
Levels 900-999: 3,600 points (240 bronzes) per level-up
I platinum, TYPE-0, VII,VIII,IX,X,X-2,XII and XV and the worst for me was X-2, I hate that game, so anyone to follow a guide all the time..
Ok. So now I've platinumed FF7R, FF X, FFX2, FFXII, FFXIII2, World of Final Fantasy, FF CRISIS CORE REUNION, FFXV and a bunch of other rpg,s.
Already platinumed

if you have any recommendations that would be much appreciated x
I've 100%'d quite a few FFs so far and by far the hardest was FF12. The hardest part wasn't Yiazmat either. It was getting 100% of the bestiary entries. There are 100s of monsters and half of them are rares that have special conditions that make them spawn. Some of which are tedious.
Second place would be FF15 because of the weeklong slog through the Comrades multiplayer mode requiring you to grind for weapon upgrade materials so you can upgrade weapons juuuust right to be powerful enough to beat the final boss.
FF13 and Remake were nothing compared to these. FF9's achievements are just bonkers though. What were they thinking?
So far I've gotten the Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy 4, 7, and 8. Going for all of them, no idea how I'm going to pull it off but I'll find a way!
Out of the ones I've got:
FFXIII - Treasure Hunter took me like 30+ hours of additional grinding after completing all other trophies due to bad drop luck. Would be on my list.
FFXIII-2 - Easy.
Lightning Returns - Superbosses were challenging, although quite fun. Have to go a fair distance into NG+ for upgrades but not too bad.
FFType-0 - Easy.
FFX HD - Lightning Dodging... ugh. Monster Arena, Dark Aeons and Penance can be cheesed but unlocking everything still takes a while. Would easily make my list.
FFX-2 HD - Complete Bestiary, 100% story, and all of the Last Mission trophies were quite tedious. Would rank pretty high on my list.
FFXV - Beating the Adamantoise without the Ring of the Lucii took some work (it wasn't usable for this until later patches), but otherwise easy, and much easier now.
FFXII: The Zodiac Age - Hardest parts were Trial 86 and 100, and getting all the Concurrences, but about average overall.
FF7R - Hard Mode Hell House and Bahamut+Ifrit were the biggest roadblocks. Pretty challenging.
FF7 Crisis Core Reunion - Relatively easy, just tedious to do all the missions.
One I don't have:
World of Final Fantasy - The minigames are garbage and I hate them. 😞
Currently working on FFIX and VII:Re at the moment. The jump rope was impossible for me on PS5, there’s almost like a delay to it and things just get worse over time. I used the remote play method and got it, I’m not proud but I didn’t want it to stop me from achieving the platinum, I’m so close now.
Nah the delay ruins it, don't feel bad
I've gotten the platinums of ff1,ff2, ff3, ff4, ff5,ff7 original,ff7 remake, FF7 remake ps5 version,ff8,ff9,ff10,ff10-2, FF12,ff13,ff13-2,lightning returns,ff15 also Final Fantasy origins stranger of paradise.I'm currently halfway through FF6 my last main line until FF16 still not motivated to plat Final Fantasy 14 probably be the only i never platinum but when you have more than 1100 level 999 it doesn't matter that much not playing a game I'm not interested.edit I forgot to add I also got the Final Fantasy VII crisis core Platinum
Its been 17 years since I got my PS3 and have still yet to get a platinum trophy in anything
FFVII:R was one of the easier platinum trophies to get for me, I'm not sure why it's on the list but something like FFX isn't.
FFX has you complete all the minigames, so the Chocobo flag game, dodging lightning, all the Blitzball stuff, AND you have to max out the Sphere Grid which by itself is an insane grind, AND you have to do the monster collector stuff to get to the super bosses. The amount that FFX asks of you is nothing short of insane, it's time consuming, takes loads of planning, has crazy skill based challenges, RNG, everything.
By comparison, just beat FFVII:R twice and it's done, and hard mode wasn't actually particularly hard, neither was the super boss.
Im on a mission to plat every FF, (waiting for 13 to be re released), ive got FF1, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, got 16 preorderer, will finish the pixel remasters after that. I just know i wont bw able to do 9, the jump rope skipping trophy needs to be changed. Ive never seen verifiable proof that someone has done the jump rope without scripts. I simply dont believe its possible for 99.9 percent of the human race, youd have to have some sort of special autism. Ive tried the rope jump on and off since the game came out on PS4, ive never got CLOSE to it, never mind the 3rd phase. Its genuinely painful. In all my years of gaming (32, im 34 but started gaming at 2) ive never faced a challenge this hard and its a single fucking input. I refuse to cheat, ever.
I don't have a lot of Final Fantasy platinums despite having 107 platinum trophies. The ones I do have are: FF8, FF10, FF10-2, FF12, FF13, FF13-2, FF 15, and FF7 Remake. I DO have every kingdom hearts platinum if that counts...
