I have to admit even the FFVII ones seem a little rough along with the FFX/X-2 HD ones

I mean some of them seem like they expect you to dedicate your life to them and do multiple playthroughs where if you mess up you'll have to do it in your second playthrough

The dodge Lightning strikes one in FFX...good grief.

iDadio2814d ago

I'm one of those people who will say they won't even bother then find myself at 2am jumping the rope

zekk2813d ago

Sadly I'm probably the same just cuz it feels so doable but at the same time so out of reach

KwokXi2814d ago

FFVII platinum was easy, this one is ridiculous :'(

I'm going to buy it but not worry about trophy, I haven't actually beat IX before *.*

Bahamut2813d ago

I got every single trophy in FFVII EXCEPT the Barret date one. Didn't realize exactly what was required in the beginning of the game, so now I have to start all over. After like 200 hours of gameplay. W/e. W/e. It's cool........

DaMist2813d ago (Edited 2813d ago )

i can see why they turned that one in FFX into a trophy, since you'll be doing that to collect the one celestial weapon anyways (if you want to), but i dont know if there was a similar activity in the original FF IX

LAWSON722813d ago (Edited 2813d ago )

Tales of Symphonia requires like 4 playthroughs.

Tales of games in general are pretty rough.

Oh screw that. I can beat that superboss Ozma, but to hell with skipping rope that long

zielocz3k2814d ago

my record is 23 jumps lol, so annoying

FallenAngel19842814d ago

When beating a Final Fantasy superboss is easier to get a Trophy for than a mini game 😒

Snookies122814d ago (Edited 2814d ago )

My brother hit 1000 back in the PS1 days. Never understood how he could possibly do it. I got to 200 I think, at most...

Gh05t2814d ago

Its about recognizing the pattern. After 200 it goes from just a single button press timing to a pattern button press timing i.e. press press pause press and that changes every 100 if I remember right.

It is ridiculously hard but its not impossible.I find the hardest part to be the endurance. I still remember my hand cramping trying to get this when FFIX first came out

Snookies122813d ago (Edited 2813d ago )

I just couldn't keep my concentration after the 150-200 mark. My eyes always started to get tired of trying to keep up lol.

I absolutely love FFIX, but I'm never even attempting this trophy. If I couldn't do it back in the day, there's no way I'll be able to these days.

Not on the US store right now which sucks

andy8514d ago

Im definitely going to import it if possible. Hopefully PlayAsia will have it

jznrpg14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it

andy8514d ago

Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it

I wonder if it’ll be a Remake or simply a Remaster though. Remake suggests a complete rework and overhaul like with FF7.

Jigga6956d ago

I have read it will be a remake but only one game.

Cacabunga56d ago

Remaster is already out.
Remake will blow my mind!! I didn’t play this for a very long time and day one collector edition. One of the most memorable games from PS1

PixelOmen56d ago

FF7 is a lot more than just a remake. It's a more like a re-imagining bordering on a reboot/sequel. There are plenty of remakes that are not just remasters that don't go anywhere near that far. Examples include Demon's Souls (2020), Resident Evil (2002), Tony Hawk 1+2, etc.

jznrpg57d ago

It’s been rumored a long time now so hopefully it is soon.

GooGobbler57d ago

is 9 really the best in the series? i'm not into FF but i heard a few fans make that claim

LiViNgLeGaCY57d ago

Even though it's not my PERSONAL favorite, I would say yes, it's the best game in the series.

Shane Kim57d ago

7 & 9 for me. It's a lot more simple and charming than many other FF games, but still has layers of complexity. It also have my (and many others) favourite character in any FF, Vivi.

Snookies1257d ago

6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are generally considered the best of the series. That was the golden age for Final Fantasy. They're all quite different from each other though. So it's impossible to really say which one is the "best" in the series. Since their tone, setting, characters, world & gameplay is always changing.

Nittdarko56d ago

You hit the nail on the head, I think the reason 6-10 are considered the best is because they all excel at something unique and stand out
6 is very much the majora's mask of the FF series, it has a massive cult following and has the best villain
7 is the face of FF and a general entry point into series and the first 3D FF, the materia system is 10/10
8 is the dark horse and the most adult and the junction system is the most complicated out of the series (my personal favourite)
9 is the most charming one and although it has dark moments its generally quite light hearted and feel good
10 critically I would say is the best one with the best single player story to any FF and the graphics leap was insane from PS1 to PS2 and whenever I recommend an JRPG I say FF10

Kakashi Hatake57d ago

Not at all, good but overrated. I have no idea why.

FinalFantasyFanatic57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

7 for me, most would say 6 or 7, but FF9 was well known for being underrated, even for it's time, I rank FF9 pretty highly, even if it's not my favourite.

Snookies12 pretty much has the right idea, you can't go wrong with the golden era of Final Fantasy.

Dudebro56d ago

9 was the last great traditional ff game.ffx was great but it was the beginning of the end.ffx paved the way for what we know as ff today.
