This will be a tough one: Gold trophy - Collector of All Things – Collect all weapons and accessories

WildArmed5244d ago

I thought all retail games held the same trophy value overall. This seems to be less then most game..
2 gold
3 silver
n a chunk of bronze o_O
Do the values of gold/silver/bronze differ from game to game?
coz Demons souls had more gold, silver and bronze trophies then this =/

just curious..
Never the less, can't wait for march.

Fishy Fingers5244d ago (Edited 5244d ago )

I think each trophy level is assigned a value, so they all equate to the same number of points for your rank as any other game. I'm pretty sure a Platinum in Uncharted (all trophies) would hold the same value towards your "rank" as say, FFXIII, however they decide to divide them up, bronze/silver/gold.

sikbeta5244d ago

Is going to be difficult, but it really worth

Foliage5244d ago

Fishy is correct.

360 values must equal 1,000
PS3 values must equal 950-1,050

According to the design team for the project I'm working on. It's probably a TCR/TRC requirement.

Critical_Hit5244d ago

Well there's 16 secret trophies which you of course unlock during specific events of the game. Those secret trophies can be anything from bronze to silver or gold.

gaffyh5244d ago

* Perfect Diamond – Learn all abilities to the fullest
* Collector of All Things – Collect all weapons and accessories

^Now those are what I call trophies! Nice to see they won't be easy.

FamilyGuy5243d ago

That's great, I'd hate to have trophy names spoil the games story before it's even in my hands.

NecrumSlavery5243d ago

I don't know anyone who got Aerith's Ultimate Weapon in VII because most people give up on grinding and leveling her up before she met her fate. So collecting everything sounds tough(If the pacing of the game has events like that).

If the PS3 versions side quest unlock/lock to the pace of the 360's multiple disc swapping, it may be much harder in the US/UK versions than the JP version. Hopefully the bluray won't be hindered and the entire game will be opened up.

Seven_ate_Nine5243d ago

I actually took the time to do that on my second playthrough. Took me forever to get it too but I felt proud of myself in the end :)

FarEastOrient5243d ago

So far it looks like I'm going to be spending more time than Fallout 3 and Dragon Age: Origins in getting the platinum for this game. Get everything... gotta collect them all ^_^

WildArmed5243d ago

ah i see, thanks for the info

and i wonder how hard it is to slay a wandering behemoth.

raztad5244d ago

I dont even try to platinum a RPG. They are time consuming by nature, more grinding and additional stuff to get all the trophies is not something I would want to spend the rest of my life.

WildArmed5244d ago

If it's a game i love, i wouldn't mind cutting down on game time on other games I could be playing for a RPG.
As long as I enjoy the game, I dont care how long i spend on it.
I can spend 600 hours in 4 different games or one game.. as long as its fun it dont matter.

Killermen5244d ago

I'm a trophy hunter myself and I must agree, most of us won't complete it. But I see this as a challenge, so I think I will get this one :p

LionheartAce5244d ago

is too weak! Give up on gaming! XP

Just kidding. Just be glad it's not on the level of grinding like Persona.

Hellsvacancy5244d ago

Theres 2 mofos on my friends list that hav Plated Demons Souls would u believe it - thats hardcore gamin man

Marceles5244d ago (Edited 5244d ago )

Disgaea 3 and Cross Edge is ALOT worse than this when it comes to grinding

Christopher5244d ago

Pretty much. Dragon Age: Origins the is the perfect example. Not only do you need to play through each race/class/background option up to Orzammar, you'd also have to play through at least twice in entirety to have the ability to make the various decision-based actions for half of the trophies. Fallout 3 kind of pissed me off with their tracking karma (good/evil/neutral) at the various levels, all the way up to 20. No good reason to replay that game three times while managing my karma just for a platinum trophy.

I really hope RPG developers start to provide some less story-driven trophy options that don't require you to replay the whole game multiple times considering a good RPG will take you 40-60 hours to complete at least once.

Hellsvacancy5244d ago (Edited 5244d ago )

With Fallout 3 mate just save the game at level 19 (just b4 u hit level 20) get ya good karma trophy then load the previous save data go massacre a load of innocent people then bling bad karma trophy and so on till u hav them all, thats wot i did

KillaManiac5244d ago

I agree with above....FFXIII trophies have nothing on Disgaea 3 and Cross Edge.

Baka-akaB5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

well actually trophies for rpgs or fighting games would be the only ones i'm bother with .

Because well achievement appeared with those anyway way before xbox , 360 and ps3 in games like star ocean 3 ... and even before i'd always have the habit to do everything possible in those .

@cgoodno

What would be the interest of that ?
Isnt the whole purpose of those in solo games or single players game to have you replay it multiple times ? Once course trophies would be tied to story points and choices .

And i've yet to see one of them not rewarding you with a few gold for just finishing it .

Christopher5243d ago

IMHO, no platinum trophy should require more than 80 hours of investment in a single player game. The point is to not over-inflate gameplay by forcing people to replay the whole game multiple times just to get different results. It's a cheap way of saying the game can be 'expanded' beyond 40-60 hours of a typical single playthrough.

Infamous did the same thing, but it only took 8-10 hours to do the second play through. I'm having trouble playing through Dragon Age twice considering how much of the content is just not new to me. And heck if I don't have tons of games already on hand to play as well as tons more in the next three months to play instead of replaying a game I already finished along with 100% of the side quests.

I doesnt seem easy 1000/pltinum.

but Im aming for 1000 Gs

kingdavid5243d ago

Too funny. This guy gets disgrees just because he is getting the 360 version.

JD_Shadow5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

Why are you people always like that: all disagrees HAVE to be coming from fanboys. If he wants to get the 360 version, then fine. None of us really care about THAT.

He's getting disagrees because the trophy and achievement lists will have the exact same list of things you have to do to get them. I don't think there has been a list let that had completely different lists between each system (maybe one or two besides the PS3's Platinum trophy). He's saying that it would be easier to get the 1000Gs from the 360 version than getting the Plat from the PS3 version (when both lists will be exactly the same).

Now do you see where the disagrees (and lack of logic) have come from? Think about it.

kingdavid5243d ago (Edited 5243d ago )

What a silly argument! Look at his profile, he has a ps3. Does he look like a fanboy?

Naive much?

He obviously said hes aiming for 1000 gs because he is getting the xbox version of the game. Surely you can deduce that? And because he is not aiming for trophies, he is getting disagrees which is just plain funny.

That makes 100000x more sense considering most of the attitudes on this site.

WildArmed5243d ago

or simply some people though that gettin the plat/1000 GS will be easy so they hit disagree? =/
Coz you know its not always about OMG HE MENTIONED CONSOLE X instead of CONSOLE Y

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972123d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus123d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda122d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B121d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981122d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot122d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda121d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot121d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy121d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay122d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12123d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay122d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB122d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
