Don't click.

1. Adjust the number of mini games so there's less.
2. Don't make the platinum trophy so difficult to get.

Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need right now.

3d brawler sephiroth and a piano challenge is all that is keeping me from a platinum...and they are hard enough that i probably won't bother. So i get 2.

But most of the mini games are optional so i wouldn't take them out. Just don't make them supper hard if it's blocking side story content or trophies.

3d Brawler Sephiroth is super simple by pausing before he hits.

Piano A ranks (which is what you need) should be simple enough by just playing the song 3-4 times.

My only hurdle in the game was last Brutal Challenge in the VR missions.
Took me probably 30 hours for that encounter.

@ ninosan Maybe i will try the mini games again and see if i can do them. Maybe i was burnt out after the pull up challenge and a new game was coming out.

I loved the brutal encounters as the combat is so fun i can do it all day. I did look up the best materia load outs though.

For the piano, it helped me to mute the music because it didn't align perfectly.

Steam now reserves the right to remove a season pass for missing deadlines

I agree but honestly with them forcing devs to state that you're renting a license for games and now this, it just seems like they're covering their asses for the inevitable legislation changes that will come. It's already happening in some countries, gamers aren't putting up with the shit of scummy devs anymore, at some point governments can't ignore people anymore. It benefits both steam and their players so I'm all for it, the other stores will probably wait with doing this until they get forced to, the great overlord being smart as usual.

Publishers are the problem, they are pulling stuff in... and out ok. (pun intended)
