7 Hardest Platinum Trophies To Obtain

[@silentguardian09]

I'm right in the middle of a 100% Platinum Challenge for the entire FF series. I've completed 1-7 and am on FF7 Remake right now. These games are coming up soon and it's about to get very interesting. Thanks for another awesome video!

[@OmarO_721]

I 100% completed FFVII Remake months ago. But I must say the hardest challenges to me was the Pull Up mini game, Squat minigame, Yuffie Box Challenge, and the Shinra Battle Simulator (Yuffie DLC). A lot of people say that Fort Condor was hard, but you can literally cheese this easily (even on Hard Mode) just by spamming Dogs and Slug Rays 😂

[@akiinmoonlight79]

But that Platinum felt magical ❤

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

Probably the plat I'm most proud of. Between the pull ups and the hard mode run through (I'm 40 and my reaction times aren't what they were) it was a challenging time. It never felt unfair though.

[@aarons.2323]

I didn't do all the Yuffie DLC stuff, but nothing felt egregiously difficult where I wanted to throw my controller. That Tifa pull-up challenge was pretty crazy though. I think I kept time for it out loud which helped me. And of course, some boss fights in Hard Mode were challenging if you didn't know how to cheese them or spam Tifa (I got the platinum in May 2020, so I didn't know).

[@nate6045]

The only thing I had trouble with on my platinum run was hell house on hard mode. Everything else was pretty breezy for me.

[@HorusDeathtouch]

I installed the PS5 version ready to platinum it all over again, but then the platinum popped again automatically, so I turned it off 😂

[@blesstherebel]

FFXIII's Treasure Hunter was the bane of my existence when I was younger. I got every single other trophy in that game by 2011, and me and a friend worked so hard to try and get Treasure Hunter and the Platinum back then but we came up short. I was so distressed by all the effort going to nothing that I couldn't bring myself to come back and try again in the proceeding 12 years, haha. I dug my old PS3 out of storage when I was getting ready to move at the beginning of this year and it got me thinking about that damned trophy again. I still had all my old saves and a MUCH better guide to it and so I finally managed to do it. Finally got that Platinum trophy, 12 years in the making, haha.

[@charlieharvey7570]

Your basically me😅

[@reahthorolund8373]

The pisstake was that it was potentially impossible. Iirc it was a damn ice bangle or something that was missable. Thankfully I got the plat but it took 210 hours. Honestly I find ffxii harder, because you need to perform ridiculous amounts of quickening combos which are basically random. Could never manage it.

[@blesstherebel]

@@reahthorolund8373 That damned Frost Ring, haha! Just the fact that you could miss an accessory because you didn't upgrade EVERYTHING was infuriating. Not to mention the panic attack I had when I realized there were only 3 Doctor's Code's in the game and I only had two when I checked back then... ugh... it was so stressful! I only ever had XII on the PS2 so I never bothered to try to 100%, but I Platinumed the OG 7 and the Remake, and now I'm working through Crisis Core. I just recently Platinumed FFX after like a million years cause I finally mustered up enough energy to dodge the lightning bolts, haha. I swear it's the stupidest trophies that get ya! And I'm going nowhere near the FFX-2 Platinum, haha. I don't think I have it in me right now to get into the weeds like that. 😂

[@marketman2187]

Congrats on eventually getting it, I love FF13 so much I went for platinum twice and never got it. No idea what I missed but I'll try a 3rd time at some point!!

[@blesstherebel]

@@marketman2187 Thank you! Honestly, I wanted that Platinum so bad because 13 is one of my favorite games ever. If I learned anything from the experience, it's... you'll get it eventually. Even if you need to step away from it for a little while (or a LONG while, haha). If Treasure Hunter is your issue like it was mine, get yourself a good guide or a list of weapons and accessories and go madman on it. Double and triple check, keep your own list. Once you get into the upgrading part it becomes a bit wider, but definitely a lot more straightforward. Once you know who you have to kill to farm materials, it's just grinding, but realizing you don't have one of the base form weapons or accessories after all of that is really annoying. Fortunately most of the weapons and accessories you need are purchasable, so if you're on that track, start by clearing out every single store, haha. Rooting for you! 😁

[@CerberusLives]

I remember Pride and Joy being a relative cakewalk compared to that infernal Ifrit/Bahamut combo.

[@aarons.2323]

Absolutely. I truly think the devs put the hardest fight before Pride & Joy on purpose because there's no way they thought it was more difficult than that combo fight.

[@OmarO_721]

Oh definitely! In my run on the main story, Bahamut/Ifrit would always be the one I get stuck on! But Pride and Joy was pretty manageable to an extant. If I remember correctly just keep spamming Thunder and have Tifa attack from behind

[@flipper9038]

100% easier.

[@hellbillyjr]

Pride n Joy was easy AF compared to Bahamet n Ifrit.

[@johnnguyen9136]

Genuinely I remember taking so long to defeat Bahamut and Ifrit that even after hearing the Pride and Joy prototype wasn't that hard, I still took the fight seriously and ended up laughing on how quickly I finished it

[@EldenRingBuildsArchive]

I’d like to confirm Chocobo Mystery Dungeon as one of the hardest in this entry, if not the hardest, now that I’m done with it. This trophy list was definitely thought up to be a “best of” most painstakingly Final Fantasy trophies, the insatiable dungeon is a worse via infinito, the treasure hunter trophy consists of much more items you need to collect compared to 13’s, the every buddy trophy is like the bestiary of 10-2 only much worse, and maxing out all jobs is a long long grind just like the sphere grid in 10. It’s not as known as the mainline entries, but wow! I’m not saying this lightly: this platinum was STRESSFUL! It took me around 145 hours to finally get it done, and every single dungeon was NEVER something you could mentally zone off, nono! Every one of them had a specific gimmick that made your life hard, you better stay alert or it’s back to the starting line. In the trophy list you have the Treasure Hunter trophy, which, FF13 enthusiasts guessed it already, collect all items, and nope, you don’t have a checklist, just like in 13, but what’s worse, is the every buddy trophy, which forced me not one, not twice, not thrice, but four times to do the hard and tedious, like really TEDIOUS 500 floor dungeon. It’s a nice game, but I wouldn’t wish on anyone trying to get this platinum. If someone though, isn’t discouraged by it, then I can only suggest the Beastmaster job+ Camilla/ dungeon hero x as a buddy, speed is extremely important in fights, and Beastmaster is the only job that casts haste to both, it doesn’t have access to slow or poison, unfortunately, but you can use books for that.

[@PenguinAlex94]

Got the 7 Remake, 9, 10-2, 13 and 14 (PS4) platinums on this list. Working away at the PS5 platinum for FF14 slowly. Really surprised that 12 didn’t feature on this list though as that required all sky pirate den achievements, espers and hunts. On top of that, the trial mode with the judge boss fight was no joke. Either way, great vid as always.

How did you manage the jump rope trophy in FF9?

[@marcosrenann9288]

@@larrymeadows7535 I linked the console on my PC and runned a program to do it. I guess you can find on youtube.

[@TheWorstPartyMember]

Big FFXII fan here and I'd say its Platinum doesn't count as "hard" compared to most games because nearly all of XII's trophies are tied to combat and exploration. It's just a checklist, so while time-consuming, it's very straightforward. Other games have trophies attached to minigames or weird one-time mechanics, which are more challenging. XII's hardest trophy that I can remember is the one for getting all the Mist concurrences, as there's a bit of RNG there.

[@iamerror7392]

XII wasnt easy for sure, but it was such an enjoyable game I didn't care how long it took. One of my absolutely favorites

Dude no kidding. Took me about 3-4 days, 3 hours each, to get that trophy...then, just as a major "fuck you," you have to be extra careful with FF9 and saving. Because kills don't carry over in-between saves or in-between playthroughs. It needs to be on **one save** and on **one playthrough**.

I actually got the platinum "A Realm Restored" from the PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV. The hard part wasn't the farming. It was having to wait six real life months to get "An Adventurer's Life" which is completing 1000 levequests. There is no way to reduce this time as you only get three levequest allowances every 12 hours of real time and you will lose levequest allowances if you are capped at 100. However, I do admit that the FATE grind and dungeon grinds were tedious.

[@iamerror7392]

I managed to get the platinum for ix, and it almost ruined the game for me. It was just so unbelievably rough. I used a scripting program for the jump rope game, and I of course sped up the game for Excalibur 2, but even so, it was crazy to me at just how hard and involved it was.

[@senprum92]

I was obsessed with trophies many years, getting more than 40 platinums, until I recently disabled their notifications and hide them from my PSN profile. Gaming more on Switch has made this easier when coming back to the PS5 to play. I prefer to take the challenges that the game presents itself than having an external checklist. Also I started spoiling myself looking for missable trophies. For example I love FFX, but I hate how stupid the trophy about maximising every single character with all the sphere grid nodes were. I also hated the FFIX trophies. FFVII (original) trophies makes you do the Barret date, which ruins a little bit the first playthrough of an average player (thanksfully I completed it more than 10 times before getting it for PS4 and going for its platinum). So overall I think trophies, at least for me, are now a negative that I would like to disable because they affect my enjoyment. Thankfully they are easier to ignore without notifications. PS - Excellent video, as always.

Trip down to memory lane with FF13... Indeed the L'Cie Paragon and Treasure Hunter were my last 2 trophies to obtain Platinum. For the L'Cie Paragon the Vencingetorix at the Yaschaf Massif was quite a pain in the butt. Key: Keep smashing Poison till it sticks. As for the treasure hunter, that was the final one before Platinum. Especially for the final weapon of Fang. I needed some Platinum Ignots and Trapezohedron, but was luckily at a high level and all the Crystarium trails were maxed out. The fearsome Shaolong Gui/Long Gui's were not really a challenge anymore for the Ignots. FYI: The regular game was finished in about 65 hours. Then it took me till 128 hours to get Platinum. Very satisfying to see Platinum pops up, but man what a trip!

I miss the early days of trophies, some of the trophies for a game used to be vague riddles for you to figure out, something like shooting something out of bounds, but now it's just finish the game and collect and complete everything, here's a platinum, nothing to get you thinking how do i get this trophy

[@liquidcyanide8208]

Something to be noted with Final Fantasy 14. The collectibles on the crafting tier. They are specific to certain quest turn ins. So they are outside of your normal crafting. Turning in collectibles results in crafting Scripps. Which can be used to buy various items. Gathering also has a similar theme to it. So normal items you would craft make money. Don’t actually apply to that trophy.

Treasure hunter from FFXIII was something I really did try. I had enough gil and ressources but didn't want to Do everything in the menus. Battle grinding was ok but I couldn't be bothered

[@bryantgutierrez9191]

I randomly obtained the FF14 platinum trophy randomly fishing one day on PS4. I’ve been playing that game to long ! I wish we got the updated PS5 cause I’m sure i hit that platinum too!

[@forestgirlasha]

FF13 treasure hunter Was my last trophy and what pain missing 1 item having spend hrs to fix it. Have the old ff14 platinum. Current working new ps5 ff14 trophies . FF14 Savages clears and crafting all i have left.

[@StevenJQuinlan]

I knew exactly which trophy was going to be nr 1. It's such a nasty achievement that the default method involves cheating

[@raventhorX]

yet right now i'm stuck farming job levels in FF3 3d remake, tails in FF4 3D remake, and beginning to work on after years on steam.

[@Sctn187]

I'm a trophy hunter and trophies have a hidden scoring system which make up your trophy level bronze are worth 30, silver 60, gold 90, and platinum 180. Levels 1-99: 60 points (4 bronzes) per level-up Levels 100-199: 90 points (6 bronzes) per level-up Levels 200-299: 450 points (30 bronzes) per level-up Levels 300-399: 900 points (60 bronzes) per level-up Levels 400-499: 1,350 points (90 bronzes) per level-up Levels 500-599: 1,800 points (120 bronzes) per level-up Levels 600-699: 2,250 points (150 bronzes) per level-up Levels 700-799: 2,700 points (180 bronzes) per level-up Levels 800-899: 3,150 points (210 bronzes) per level-up Levels 900-999: 3,600 points (240 bronzes) per level-up

FF7 Remake was a very easy platinum for me. Surprised it's even mentioned here. The most difficult challenge is completing hard mode, but that (new game+ hard mode) is the definitive and most fun way to play. The Bahamut + Ifrit, as well as the Clod fight also become rather irrelevant if you just focus on healing and equip elemental+fire materia to Cloud's armor. At that point you can just beat on Bahamut while Ifrit heals you, and Clod uses a flamethrower attack every now and then that also heals you.

[@Wolfqueen007]

Unless you can't see Bahamut's mega flare countdown with all the chaos and can't quite put out the dps to interrupt it. I think it took me several tries with a guide and heavy materia grinding to finally get through it. Just having fire absorb on the armor alone isn't enough to make it easy, but it does help significantly

[@schools6555]

Just one question, how in the hell did you get a platinum trophy for What Remains of Edith Finch because as far as I know at least for the United States there is no platinum trophy for said game.

[@CI254]

The PS5 version of FF14 getting a new trophy list was a very nicely timed kick to the shins for me, because it came out only a couple months after I finally finished getting the original Platinum on PS4. That already took several years of play to achieve... and now the list requires at times 3x as much as the first one. Nah. Nahhhhhhhhhhh.

[@vulpinedeity3379]

With X-2, you're completely disregarding the Fiend Arena. Mascot and Oversoul are no longer missable.

[@atabspunk]

Got almost everything on the list except Chocobo and Dissidia which I don't have. I've yet to play FFX-2 HD. FFXIV is my longest platinum up to this day! Took me 2400+ hours

[@damega621]

The Bloddlust trophy is the foulest challlenge for any trophy I have ever completed. That IX abducted me for a whole monthz thi it felt so good finally getting it in the end.

[@shadow6773]

Honestly i would put Dissidia higher, the A++ with some characters are a nightmare even with bots, and the specific things you have to accomplish while fighting are super hard and worse against bots, and damn just checked the whole 14 ps5 list, glad im sticking to the ps4 version xD Thanks for another great video

[@missingLEGACY]

Getting the mascot dresssphere in x-2 is actually not that difficult in the HD remaster, there are two ways to acquire not just one, you can also get it by completing certain tournaments in the creature creator mode, and that method is considerably easier, even being possible in ch 1.

[@ayresysarmy4044]

Final Fantasy mini-game trophy's are the worst! 😅 Final Fantasy Zodiac Age definitely needed a mention - most give up just reading the requirements. The need to collect weapons with the some of the worst drop rates ever seen and THAT super boss!

[@aschfonfabreplays]

Hail to the King in final fantasy ix IS TO THIS DAY driving me NUTS. there is a script out there that is SUPPOSED to make it easier, BUT I AM FAIL and can't get it to work!

[@MonsiTheKT]

Of the ones on this list I just have 13 and 7 + remake. I am close (but oh so far) from 14, and I gave up on 9.

[@lalo_raider_5596]

Dissidia final fantasy nt it's actually easy just time consuming grindfest especially the ranked Bots help a lot just summon trial probably the hardest trophy to get overall it's still possible to obtain

[@MakenshiCritiques]

i have the ff9 platinum, fucking bloodlust man............

[@Josh.Ayres2]

Got the FFXIV PS4 plat last year after 8 years of playing on and off time to work on the PS5

[@Veloso-hf1ux]

Complete Sphere Grid with all Characters in FFX made me give up instantly!

[@jabba9919]

I'm 2 trophies away from platinum in the PS5 version of FFXIV, last 2 are complete 3000 FATES (50%), collect 8000 collectibles (42%) and its painful

[@RetroMythologist]

I love going for platinum trophies, but the thing that I don't like is having to use guides for those games that have missable trophies -- then it's impossible not to have the game spoiled. I wish the creators would keep that in mind when designing trophies.

[@Dracobyte]

Another great video as always!

[@kcsoup3]

I've completed almost everything in FF9. I will never, ever, get that damn jumproping trophy.

[@RobiN-ei2ih]

I have the trophy for FF7 FF7R FF8 FFX and FF15 and lemme just say FFX deserves a spot for the lightning dodge and chocobo racing alone

[@haitianxu]

You know the mini-game difficulty is next level when the recommended "solution" is to run a PC script via remote play. FFX lightning dodge has nothing on FFIX skip rope.

[@angelacevedosoto1577]

I finally got the platinum this year for FFXIII after buying it years ago on release date. I’m dreading playing the two other parts of the trilogy….

[@kodaxenic]

Have got ffxiii and ffx-2 from the list so far… can confirm that without a good guide ffx-2 100% is extremely hard

[@insecdroid]

The true issue with the FFXIV PS5 plat is the “Craft 5000 collectibles” and I hate it. I WILL get it eventually, but no time this year…or next year most likely.

[@thericanfreakinpastaman6969]

Skaters XL (manual around the world) trophy

[@seankkg]

You can just unsync Second Coil Savage. The only "difficulty" lies in how long Leves take.

[@teeteeff7]

There is a leve in Horizon (little town by Waking Sands) where you can buy potions from npc shop and trade to leve guy a few feet away. It is an alchemist leve and will count to your Playstation trophy. I did them weekly, about 20 to 30 because of how slow they come back. I think you get 6 leves every 12 hours irl. It beats actually doing battle leves! Good luck!

[@Kraidoz]

Ff14: The second coil of bahamut savage can be soloed, I did it. The only thing hard in the trophy list is the grindy stuff like you mentioned... 13k collectibles, fates, dungeons. I'm likely never getting the collectibles......

[@JSledge825]

FF10 had that stupid lightning dodging trophy I just couldn’t do…I think you had to avoid the lightning like 100 or 200 times with split second accuracy.

[@denisfolcik1373]

The only FF one I have, and probably only one ill ever has is the FF7 remaster on PS4. Since it was so damn easy. Figured 9 would be the same til I saw the list and said F that. Will never be able to do the jump rope one.

[@Lazaerus]

I've been replaying FF13 and FF7R just to get a feel of the blend of action combat meets ATB mix and honestly... FF13 was not *that* bad of a game, and has aged really well. I just don't think people were ready to make such a leap from the guided story FF10 offered and the significant change in combat systems. FF7R MASTERED that blend by giving you the guided story still while maintaining that ATB system FF13 had in a different way. TL;DR - FF13 wasn't a bad game and I think we were all too harsh on it.

[@omegashinra7672]

FFVII:R was one of the easier platinum trophies to get for me, I'm not sure why it's on the list but something like FFX isn't. FFX has you complete all the minigames, so the Chocobo flag game, dodging lightning, all the Blitzball stuff, AND you have to max out the Sphere Grid which by itself is an insane grind, AND you have to do the monster collector stuff to get to the super bosses. The amount that FFX asks of you is nothing short of insane, it's time consuming, takes loads of planning, has crazy skill based challenges, RNG, everything. By comparison, just beat FFVII:R twice and it's done, and hard mode wasn't actually particularly hard, neither was the super boss.

[@cj_skywalker]

Working on the PS5 version of FFXIV now. :)

[@RandomTim84]

Here's to the Platinum for FF XVI.
