Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Platinum Trophy Is Not Worth Sacrificing Your Sanity For

"As much as I've enjoyed FF7 Rebirth, its Platinum requirement was insane and downright frustrating, something I wish not to see repeated," says Hanzala from eXputer.

I’m glad the platinum is difficult to get. Makes it all the more worthwhile to unlock it. Separates the skilled from the scrubs.

Is everything OK at home? 😂

CrimsonWing69411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

Lol.

Literally, all I said is it’s great to have platinum that has meaning being behind unlocking it due to its challenge and shows a level of skill over scrubs who can’t get it.

I’m guessing this chud must be one of those struggling with it and it hurt his feelings.

I’m sowwy.

AdonisIsBeast412d ago

Agreed. RPG’s should require some effort so long as the journey to the platinum is fun. Even those with careers can chip away at it over time. Enough with these easy platinums that take away the “achievement” aspect of it

DarkZane411d ago

Except it's not hard, it's just long and tedious, which is why it's not worth it. It's ok if you don't have a life, but 99% of the world have a job and a family to take care of.

CrimsonWing69411d ago

Ummm… go check out the comments on forums for the VR missions and hard mode. It’s hard, that’s a lot of people’s hang-up on it. If it was tedious there’s be less complaining about the difficulty. I mean, if you stream, please show us the tips and tactics that make it so easy.

Lexreborn2412d ago

Only thing I think in the trophy list that will be hard to do will be the s rank piano. Everything else seems mostly doable on the first run. I have been taking my time and exploring everything the game enables to me before completing a chapter so I’m sure the hard mode run after if I choose to do it will be all I have to worry about.

Knowing me I won’t do it though lol

KwietStorm_BLM412d ago

I thought you only needed an A rank. Or is that one of Johnny's stupid collectibles?

Lexreborn2412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

My bad I read the trophy wrong

andy85412d ago

Only A rank thankfully. The minigames are the easy part. Most have tricks to do them. The combat sims seem like hell.

I_am_Batman412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

The only thing that I didn't like so far were the advanced 6 person bouts at the musclehead collosseum. The battles are fun to figure out at first, but 5 out of the 8 challenges feature the exact same enemies in every possible configuration so it gets a bit repetitive. I've still got the hardest VR challenges ahead of me, but I'm currently taking a break and waiting for the patch to fix the bugged side quest. I'm definitely intending to platinum it and so far I haven't encountered any serious roadblock yet.

franwex412d ago

I already know I won’t get it due to the piano one. I’m simply not good with anything related to rhythm or music. I can time button presses, but moving the joy stick? Nah.

I think I maaay get all Johnny’s side quests BS ones. Everything else seems pretty do able once you get strong enough and max out characters and materia.

andy85411d ago

Best tip I can give is to speed it up. Speed 3 is easier to time the movements. Zooming in helps too if your display can do that. Or actually cheat and get someone else to control one analog stick as well as you then it should be simple

RpgSama411d ago

I'll use the someone else doing the other stick tip, I am NOT good at rhythm games neither, that is a PERFECT solution, will tell my wife for an assist, thank you!

Chard411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

Is it that much worse than in Remake? I haven't played Rebirth yet, but I did Platinum Remake (including Intergrade) and was both very difficult (Weiss, Bahamut), annoying (smashing crates), and very tedious (had to re-do ch9 way too many times). I don't think I have it in me to go through something like that again.

NautilusXIII411d ago

Much worse. 2(maybe 3 for some people) chadley vr missions in particular are more challenging than everything you did in remake.

i mean, weve been joking about this for a while now haha

they're gonna resell this trilogy for the next 20 years ha

but i wonder ... remake and rebirth already had to cut back on the psr4and ps5.

hows that gonna go on that inferior system?

andy8516d ago

Steam deck runs it ok and the switch 2 is more powerful (docked]. Handheld mode will be the interesting one

PRIMORDUS16d ago

No physical release GTFO. This game deserves to be in your collection, not some digital shit.

raWfodog16d ago

I can definitely see them offering a boxed collection of the entire trilogy after it’s completed. Or at least it would be a smart thing to do if Square wanted to bring in more money.
