Side quests weren't boring for me because the Main quest events were so epic and hit me so hard emotionally, I needed a cooldown by doing these "boring" Side quests.
They also had a rise in story and world-building quality after a certain point. I remember finishing the quest for Gaute and Otto for the first time and thinking “woah, where did *this* come from.”
You said Jill/Shive was being controlled by Clives Mother, that's not correct. She is being controlled by the Iron bloods, the enemies of Rosaria. They came in and attacked after Clives mother betrayed Rosaria and took hostages since all the fighting force was wiped out.
@TannerJaye I completely understand. That is one thing I wish oyger games did, is adoot yhe FF16 lore tracker because a lot of games get very confusing and it is a task to keep track of all the characters and their relationships.
Joshua was barely alive after the Ifrit/Phoenix fight, and the Undying, a sort of secret Rotarian group dedicated to protecting the Phoenix found him and provided medical treatment, so that’s why he is still alive
All side quests are interesting in the "lore" way. Some of em may be boring but I think it's rewarding us by giving us more context or deep diving into the character.
Dont know if this was answered, but I believe Joshua survived due to a combination of the help of the undying(the loyal followers of the Phoenix in tabor) and his regenerative healing powers due to being the Phoenix
I’m glad to watch a new TannerJaye video, always makes my day and gets me interested in games like Skyrim which I never thought I would enjoy but I am loving it so thanks Tanner for giving me this amazing experience.
Congrats on the Platinum Today I finished everything else leaving only max out abilities and finish on final fantasy difficulty, to be honest the Fenix trial was really hard (finished it with less than 1 sec left)
The side quest are extensive and take awhile but you can see how you have affected the entire world and people. They are also how you get the ability to make best weapons and armor in the game. But yeah they are slow slow burns and feel annoying but the endgame ones are a little touching
Man this game is such top tier you can tell this is a good game with a good trophy list, I love what they did with the combat since FF7, I really wasn't a fan of the turn base.
The entire first half of the game just gave me the best vibes that come from Game of Thrones + Attack on Titan, really glad they stuck with the themes they did
This was the first mainline FF game I’ve beaten since 12. I really enjoyed it, the music and the epicness was outstanding. I played on a Sony OLED with a Sony theater sound system. OMG that made it so much crazier. The rumbling going on during those boss battles with the epic chants going on was totally something to be experienced.
I definitely enjoyed this game more than 15. Its story and cinematic battles really makes me glad i bought a PS5 just gor this game. As a side note, i found it VERY helpful to go for the Eikon ability trophies as soon as you have that Eikon. It helps you focus on the other trophies but also helps you prepare for the Cronoliths as youll be more familiar with the abilities. Maxing out your AP can also be done early to help you equip whatever abilities you want.
Getting into final fantasy for the first time bought it this morning and I'm 7hrs in. Plus the game is beautiful and so badass. I underestimated this series.
Even though I have 81hrs into the game so far, this was such a blast to watch! Totally agree with you tho, I did not expect this game to be so easy, but that doesn't take away any of the mind blowing fun for me! I saw you used the Berserker ring for a bit, probs one of my favorite attributes in this game. Just so satisfying🔥 and yes totally agree with you again, the Eikon boss fights are on a whole other level, such and amazing visual show. And every big/boss/Eikon fight is just so satisfying. Even if they had cut the dialog in the side missions in half, it would still be soooo much🤣 Definitely GOTY for me so far, never in a million yrs I thought I would say that about a FF game! Thanks for the awesome vid and congrats on the sponsor, and the plat of course✌🏾🦖
I love how the side quests are more than just side missions that give little to nothing. They feel more like main story off-branch missions bc they add so much to the world, and to the story. And as for the rewards, ur get new recipes, improved heals, and even a mount.
Nice work man and congrats on that Sponsorship! I found this the perfect gateway into either Final Fantasy or Devil May Cry, but think certain games in those respective series' are overall way better than FF16.
I was just thinking that is been a year since the game came out as of yesterday, and I just finally got around to playing the game. I’m in the rising tide DLC and I just have to do the last boss, and I’ll be done.
I just platinumed this 2 days ago and i loved every moment of it the only thing i didn't do was hit level 100 i did every side quest and hunt in both playthroughs and only hit 89 since i didn't use the xp boost stuff
Sommer hole! …haven’t commented for a while, but never stopped watching you. Never played FF, but through you now want to platinum XVI too😅 Awesome Video again! Love you😘
Hey cool video. But i have no idea if this problem is only on my site. From 14:25 until the next Boss battle the Sound is a little bit dull. Is this planed?
The Side Quests kill the tension too much. I'd get done with something really exciting and there's 3 more green bubbles around my hideout. It happened so often and it was always in 3s. Really kills the mood. The rest of the game was stellar, but they could have cut down how many side quests this game has.
i always did all the sidequests first before continuing the main quests.. still i miss a curiositie and i am on the last misssion after first utlima fight..
When you start new game plus should you start from very beginning or after the prologue in order to get the trophy for beating game on final fantasy mode? Please say it doesn’t matter…
nice work. i love this game loads and grtting close to platting it. on terms of difficulty, i have thought a lot about this and talked with loads of people both having a really easy time with it and those having difficulties. it’s not so much that the enemies are too easy, it’s thats Clive is too strong. the S rank enemies for example are really strong and have tones of AoE and phases where grtting hits in is real hard… but he has so much power even not counting the eikon abilities. the dodge alone makes him over powered, if you can dodge everything then nothing matters. you will never die. even if clive was put into devil may cry 5 hell or hell mode with only pheonix and garuda, no ultimate skills either like flames of rebirth, he would decimate everything with just his dodge counter the only way the combat would be “hard” is he’s intentionally nerfed or limited. and no one would like that. so while the game being “easy” is disappointing to me, i am glad it is because the character you use is so strong, and not that everything is basically worthless.
Wait. I thought there was a trophy for doing ALL the side quests. I remember being a little mad because I missed 2 for the trophy. Am I just going crazy? Was I imagining things?
Guys quick question I have finished the game on final fantasy mode I got every skill and the ultima blade but it said if I try and start a new game plus again that isn't final fantasy mode the data won't carry over does that mean I won't have all my skills or the ultima blade I worked really hard for that fucking sword
Truly did enjoy the game. Will definitely be playing it again and getting the DLC. I had a few issues: Side quests were so boring to me. After I did 15 or so and saw they were fetch quests without substance, I skipped them. Never cared or saw the point in going after trophies either. Loved the political intrigue, but they fumbled that ball toward the latter half of the game. It could've been so much greater. They initially set Annabelle up to be a main villian but reduced her to a side character you never had any interaction with. Music was excellent! Loved the characters and villians. Loved the action. Not much by way of rpg elements or strategy. Wish I could play as other characters. This game is solid, though not without its flaws.
Tbh bro you’re wrong about the side quests, they’re depressing asf but they’re very impactful for the story as well def one of the best parts of the game
It’s insane to me how people can platinum games in under 100 hours. It has taken me 120 hours just to beat the main game I haven’t even gotten platinum yet it also took me around 150 hours to platinum Stellar Blade. Maybe I’m just bad at videogaming😅😅
tanner getting another sponsor????!!!! WELL DESRVED GGZ on the plat too!!!, not only a sponsor but an FFXVI game key too? Tanner has come such a long way now 😭😭😭
I came into FF16 a bit hesitant because even though I'm a big fan of the series (hence my name) I'm not particularly good (I mean 💩💩) at action games and was disappointed by 15. Ended up having an absolute blast! Not perfect, but absolutely worth all the time I put into it. Still need to do NG+.
I've never really liked it when you're required to play a game multiple times for a Platinum. I think the only exception is NieR:Automata and that's because each time you play through the game you play a different character and you get their story.
All aboard the Honkai: Star Rail! Download here: hoyo.link/69mxC7Ad
Thank you guys for watching!
Can you do the Rayman Legends Platinum trophy? I would love to see you Platinum one of mine favourite game 😊
I'm still in love with the Titan boss fight. The music, the size dimension of the fiht itself... WOW!!!
I was speechless either, everything is so awesome!
Side quests weren't boring for me because the Main quest events were so epic and hit me so hard emotionally, I needed a cooldown by doing these "boring" Side quests.
They also had a rise in story and world-building quality after a certain point. I remember finishing the quest for Gaute and Otto for the first time and thinking “woah, where did *this* come from.”
I though about 75% of the side quests were pretty damn good.
Only The first 20-30 side missions are boring...From that point all of them are nice..Not in a level of Witcher 3 of course,but still
akali pfp nice :)
I think 75% of this game was boring to me, including sidequest. The story felt poorly written. And the characters were not that great.
You said Jill/Shive was being controlled by Clives Mother, that's not correct. She is being controlled by the Iron bloods, the enemies of Rosaria. They came in and attacked after Clives mother betrayed Rosaria and took hostages since all the fighting force was wiped out.
Ahhh yes you're right! Sometimes this games lore has got me confused
@TannerJaye I completely understand. That is one thing I wish oyger games did, is adoot yhe FF16 lore tracker because a lot of games get very confusing and it is a task to keep track of all the characters and their relationships.
@TannerJaye and I enjoy your videos and respect the grind of these games you Platinum, it is very challenging.
@@TheAferguson381 appreciate you watching man! 🙌🏻
I have never played any of the final fantasy games so this is like foreign language to me
Joshua was barely alive after the Ifrit/Phoenix fight, and the Undying, a sort of secret Rotarian group dedicated to protecting the Phoenix found him and provided medical treatment, so that’s why he is still alive
I actually liked the end game side quests. It shows the impact Clive had on the realm and adds additional context to the “ending” 😏😏
All side quests are interesting in the "lore" way. Some of em may be boring but I think it's rewarding us by giving us more context or deep diving into the character.
Dont know if this was answered, but I believe Joshua survived due to a combination of the help of the undying(the loyal followers of the Phoenix in tabor) and his regenerative healing powers due to being the Phoenix
Was hoping you'd make a video on this game, it's amazing. I'm so thankful that you did. 😊
It is perhaps one of my favorite Final Fantasy, together with the VII❤❤
I’m glad to watch a new TannerJaye video, always makes my day and gets me interested in games like Skyrim which I never thought I would enjoy but I am loving it so thanks Tanner for giving me this amazing experience.
Game of the year 💯♥️
Congrats on the Platinum
Today I finished everything else leaving only max out abilities and finish on final fantasy difficulty, to be honest the Fenix trial was really hard (finished it with less than 1 sec left)
Woohoo! I'd love to watch this but I still have to finish the game myself 😂 well done on getting the plat!
I had a blast playing FF16, but damn was the story dark as hell.
It was pretty dark
The side quest are extensive and take awhile but you can see how you have affected the entire world and people. They are also how you get the ability to make best weapons and armor in the game.
But yeah they are slow slow burns and feel annoying but the endgame ones are a little touching
Never even watched a final fantasy game, but it looks stunning probably gonna need to buy this game soon
Man this game is such top tier you can tell this is a good game with a good trophy list, I love what they did with the combat since FF7, I really wasn't a fan of the turn base.
Was waiting for this great video
Thank you!!
I stayed up for some late night gaming, in bed by 1 am then Tanner uploads like a legend! Of course I had to stay up and watch, good work bro.
Yo thanks dude! 🙌🏻

Lets goo keep the grind up man were here for you
Appreciate you! 🙌🏻
The voice of Cid is Ralph Ineson his other notable gaming work is the voice of Charles Vane in AC 4: Black Flag.
Who let Square Enix cook THIS HARD? Give that man a medal
DMC 5 is my favorite platinum of yours. Great video like always
Thx man! DMC was a beast

Always chasing the hardest platinums, much respect. Youve got me going back to so many games ans into new ones, keep grinding 💪
this game has the easiest platinum in the whole franchise though.
@@Eversoul12 Far easier than Final Fantasy VII Remake in my opinion
Man, I finally got the Crash Trilogy platinum yesterday and I’ve never been so damn happy! I might go for either Sifu or Bramble platinum next 😬
Nice!!
That’s a fucking tough platinum dude congrats 🎉
@@ihateallthethings2683 thank you good sir 🤟🏽
I got those thinking I was the shit....then I started crash 4.....
still got the plat but holy hell.
@@ltlsWhatltIs I’ve been thinking about buying and going for that platinum but as of lately I think hell no 😂
been waiting for another one of these!
Lets go! I've been waiting for this one, Tanner
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Getting into final fantasy for the first time bought it this morning and I'm 7hrs in. Plus the game is beautiful and so badass. I underestimated this series.

Thanks Dex! Yea this game over all was a blast for sure
The references to FF XIV are so great. If you played XIV you know what I mean. Yoshi-P aka Naoki Yoshida‘s influence is all over it. I love it!!!!!
Just acquired the plat and I wholeheartedly agree a straight run playthrough for the trophy. Game did not disappoint for me 🤙🏿
What was the hardest trophy
@shamani8393 none honestly, just beating the game on FF mode is what drags it out.
@@Taure-aku ohh ok
One of the best games ever made thank you for your awsome gameplay
I love how the side quests are more than just side missions that give little to nothing. They feel more like main story off-branch missions bc they add so much to the world, and to the story. And as for the rewards, ur get new recipes, improved heals, and even a mount.
26:54 Bro I still have trouble perfecting Odin's sword parry and it's always annoying when I don't time it right with how delayed the strike is
Definitely gonna play this game as soon as i get my gaming laptop , so excited to try out all the different abilities and combat styles 🤩✌🏻🗿
You probably know this by now, but its not on pc.
13:53 phoenixes are known for immortality and regeneration so that might be why he still alive
dang i always watch your video as soon as soon as they come out i wish i did but i enjoyed this video as much as all the other ones
12:14 oh no Dante, what kind of devil trigger you got this time
Watched this twice once because I love your videos and another for background noise while going after Killing Floor 2 Platinum.
legend
I’ve been waiting for this play video
Nice work man and congrats on that Sponsorship! I found this the perfect gateway into either Final Fantasy or Devil May Cry, but think certain games in those respective series' are overall way better than FF16.
Thanks man! Yea as an action game DMC I think is better
@@TannerJaye yep, and I think as an FF Game, the very recent FF7 Remake Intergrade was way better than FF16 imo.
@@Pujitsu I also preferred FF7 as well
I was just thinking that is been a year since the game came out as of yesterday, and I just finally got around to playing the game. I’m in the rising tide DLC and I just have to do the last boss, and I’ll be done.
Small mistake Shiva/Jill is not controlled by Clives mother, she is controlled by the Iron Kingdom.
I just platinumed this 2 days ago and i loved every moment of it the only thing i didn't do was hit level 100 i did every side quest and hunt in both playthroughs and only hit 89 since i didn't use the xp boost stuff
missed your videos, bro! wish i could watch this one, but im playing this game through rn :(
Sommer hole! …haven’t commented for a while, but never stopped watching you. Never played FF, but through you now want to platinum XVI too😅
Awesome Video again! Love you😘
Thank you! Definitely give a FF game a shot!
7:48 I’ve been trying to get that damn trophy for god knows how long
Hey cool video. But i have no idea if this problem is only on my site. From 14:25 until the next Boss battle the Sound is a little bit dull. Is this planed?
I haven't played this yet but I HAD to watch cause, ya know, it's you. Awesome vid and commentary!
Thx man!!
Can't wait to watch this later. I am currently working on rdr2. Not far, but there is still lots to do
Nice work!!!!
Thank you!!
The Side Quests kill the tension too much. I'd get done with something really exciting and there's 3 more green bubbles around my hideout. It happened so often and it was always in 3s. Really kills the mood. The rest of the game was stellar, but they could have cut down how many side quests this game has.
100 percent
been waiting on this one. wondered where you went
I enjoyed this Platinum more than most games
How many platinum trophies you have? Will you do a video showing them or ranking the difficulty?
I think this was 29!
This game's soundtrack made me transcend the heavens.
9 months later after both dlcs are out…game just got better…. MWAH
Due to an update with the DLC, I have to get the other Eikons before getting all the Eikon upgrades trophy before I get the platinum. 😢
King!!! Congrats 🛐
I am finishing RE4 remake platinum
i always did all the sidequests first before continuing the main quests.. still i miss a curiositie and i am on the last misssion after first utlima fight..
Daaaaaamn man this game looks like a great time, especially with those icon boss fights, they look proper nuts 😂 Good job on the plat lad 🙌
Thanks dude!!

Cid is voiced by the guy from the VVItch! i love that guy.
Oh yea!! Great movie
Question: Do I need to buy the music rolls from merchants for the platinum or can I save my Gil?
I’m experiencing the level 50 trophy bug in ff7 remake and that’s the only one I need to hit plat
The many meme references in the achievements are good.
I liked the side quests plus you do not have to do ALL of them (just most)
Wait. I thought there was a trophy for doing ALL the side quests. I remember being a little mad because I missed 2 for the trophy. Am I just going crazy? Was I imagining things?

I was hoping for this
Nice video ! I’m also a platinum trophy hunter 😂💅, I started after watching one of your videos , keep up the good work ! 😌
Can skip side quests in fantasy mode for get fantasy final trophy?
Joshua is alive because he’s the phoenix. That’s kinda the whole schtick of the Phoenix. Rebirth.
Plat this game rips your heart out twice
tanner. could you platinum super meat boy?
I finally got returnal plat, you know the pain bro

Did anyone have problems getting your counterattack upgrades attacks working
What do I press
Fire and air
Bro I'm so close to platinum but for some reason I can't get the map trophy even though I have the whole map done 😭
Gotta do basically all side quests cause through em you unlock different areas not shown on the map
What happened to homies audio at 14:22??
TH-cam copyright
@@TannerJaye oh damn your right brother totally didn’t even think of that 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻
can you do a video showcasing all your plats
yes! I plan on it soon
And you don't have to do exactly ALL the Sides.. I missed some, and was able to get the related trophies as well in my first playthrough.
Yea I think actually you only need to do the ones starting from the second hideout
Always a fan of your videos. May I suggest Far Cry 5 as a game to platinum? Either way keep grinding games brother, you rock!
thx man! Yea I gotta get some Far Cry done

why do people hate this game like I love it I played this game all the time and beat it several times

Ended up having an absolute blast! Not perfect, but absolutely worth all the time I put into it. Still need to do NG+.
It's pretty insane especially all the crazy boss fights
@@TannerJaye I know people talk about the story and VA, but for me the boss fights are by far the best bit about this game.
I've never really liked it when you're required to play a game multiple times for a Platinum. I think the only exception is NieR:Automata and that's because each time you play through the game you play a different character and you get their story.
I might be thinking of something different, but isn't this the one with cloud.(other than 7)
Noo this is a brand new entry
