Final Fantasy 7 Rebirths Platinum Cost Me My Sanity...

[@N120Xeno]

We’re all now in the same mental state Cloud is in at the end of Rebirth

[@KrogTharr]

Chadley is probably going to become the most insane and powerful super boss in part 3... nothing good is coming from all that "Evil" intel he has been farming... trust me, he is a Sadistic villain!

[@zildog]

You didn't see it... did you? Hojo is literally controlling Chadley and collecting everything Cloud does.

[@abdulazimnaushad]

Fucking Hojo he always finds a way to fuck you up

[@julianf147]

Chadley is definitely Cell and hojo is dr Gero

[@upon-fe2720]

​@@zildog a great but brutal and depressing scene. I don't know if I read the scene correctly but to me it seems like Hojo is preserving Chadleys real body at his lab, he has created numerous cybernetic clones (7?) that are all linked directly to Chadleys human body in the lab. It feels like Hojo has given Chadley(s) free will, I think Chadley truly believes he's broken free of Hojo and is fighting against him - but he isn't, he's helping him and being tortured by him the entire time. I think part of our return to Midgar in FF7 Return (yes I'll die in that hill) will be freeing chadley, chadley may be a long for the ride thinking he's just getting revenge on Hojo but will find his actual corporeal self in the process, realising he was never a cyborg but a full robot. It would make for an amazing scene and give Chadley a truly amazing endgame. It'd allow for an emotional scene, chadley bots could unite and fight alongside Hojo, then we save real chadders. It would be interesting to see Chadley go from thinking he has free will to turn on his friends and fight them in one scene.

Man, I spent so many hours on bonds of friendship, hours of a lot of stress and frustration. and when I finally managed to get past Odin's misery, I didn't feel good, much less happy.

[@StunnaPlatinums]

lolol yup, I didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment when I beat that challenge, just glad I got it done

[@BrdyDzn]

trash f****** challenge. still stuck. trash

[@JustinGreene0224]

414 hrs when I actually did everything beyond the Platinum, Hard Mode side quests and all lvl 9 weapons...i do feel like I've sacrificed years off my life.

[@StunnaPlatinums]

damn dude, i cant even imagine lol I was going insane after i hit 100 hours

[@kevinburke1325]

I am doing the same thing as that dude lol the Chadley simulator is the hardest so far. ​@StunnaPlatinums

[@EntropyRisen]

Same !! My 100% clocked in at 218 hours !!! But i loved every second 😊 apart from the dreaded chicken sidequest that was straight bs lol . Chadleys sim also gave me some grey hairs but once mastered i’ve learned to have alot of fun with the challenge. Awesome and rewarding platinum I actually appreciate the difficulty i hate it when platinums are free .

[@hojo568]

I don't understand why people smash their face against this game and then get surprised when they are bored of it. Take your time. Take breaks. Enjoy it. The finale isn't coming out for years anyway

[@GoodsVibesOnly]

My point Exactly why be in a rush to do everything when part 3 isn't coming out for years

[@kylesmith8602]

I used a powerful wind build + genji gloves to easily get to odin in Bonds of Friendship and it still wasn't easy. Also the platinum took me 190 hours to get. Kudos to anyone who got it.

[@StunnaPlatinums]

I used the same build, and yeah it was still very difficult lol, congrats on the platinum!

[@lyneyarose]

Yep, I too questioned my gamer life after many failed attempts with Rulers of the Outer Worlds. But after clearing it and finally getting the Gotterdammerung, it was quite the relief.

[@sakroxsankt]

The gang went to Cosmo Canyon because Red XIII says at the beginning (in Kalm) that he'll join for as far as his hometown, after which he plans to leave them. It's the same in the OG. And the gang was interested in learning about planetology as well, so it made sense for them to go and drop Red XIII off. Hope that answers your question about why they went there!

[@StunnaPlatinums]

Thank you! it does make a lot more sense now

[@piaxerofchaos1309]

I have watched few of these videos, because I love to see different streamers reaction to this platinum. It was interesting that you actually beat first summon after you already finished game first time? Summon aren't really must have in Rebirth, but I still find in funny. 😂 After all mini games and Chadley stuff, Bonds of friendship with Zack was only really hard challenge for me, it took 15 runs to get it right. Personally I feel I loved getting Platinum from Rebirth, because this game really make you feel like you earned it. I played Stellar Blade after Rebirth and I didn't get that same good feeling getting platinum from that game, because it's was short game and platinum was much easier to get than it was in Rebirth. Even if some stuff in Rebirth was annoying, just amount of stuff you could do and difficulty of that game make you feel really good when you get your platinum trophy.

[@WishYouLuck1991]

For me rulers of outterworld took me longest time ,i spent good 10hours at it with the yuffie cheese build , every round was just pure rng ,did all other challenges in 1 or 2 tries.hard mode was walk in a park with genji glove , and swift cast+hp+,mp absorption materia,each hit did like 15-30k dmg . Definitely was one of most frustrating platinums in my collection clocking in at 119h49m playtime. At this point im convinced that chadley will be gigaboss in part 3 by the amount of research we did for him😅

[@AsymptoticGamingMP]

I actually found Gongaga much more annoying to traverse compared to Cosmo Canyon, which surprised me. Cos when I saw the map of Gongaga, it looked pretty and didn't seem to have a lot of verticallity to it, whereas Cosmo Canyon had a ton of verticallity to it so it just felt like it would be annoying to traverse. But when it actually came to exploring, the Chocobo mushrooms in Gongaga just felt very annoying, because unless you were on the exact correct one, you would go to the wrong location, and have to go all the way back and look for the correct mushroom. And even if you find the correct mushroom, it could be on the edge of a cliff, but this Chocobo couldn't climb like the one from Junon, so you would have to find a way up to that cliff, so it just became tedious to me. Whereas with all the jump points in Cosmo Canyon, each one lead you to the other and it felt just very natural and exploration just flowed naturally for me, and I got the entire map done in like 2 hours ish. But it's just down to personal preference I guess haha. xD My favourite region is actually the Corel Region, cos of the desert area, Costa Del Sol and obviously the Gold Saucer :D In terms of the Legendary Bouts, they should have tuned that down a little. by the end, it didn't feel difficult for me, it felt tedious. Most of the time I died on either Bahamut or Odin (which I'm pretty sure are at power -1), so the previous 8 rounds were just time wasters. I feel like they could have either 1) Added a checkpoint for the current instance of the challenge at round 5/10, so that if the player dies at any point after that, they can restart at the beginning of round 6. But if they exit the instance to save the game or to change materia load out, they have to start from round 1/10 again. OR 2) make it 5 rounds total. Just remove the elite mini bosses and just keep the summons. i.e. Titan, Phoenix, Kujata, Alexander, and finally Bahamut or Odin. It would still be difficult, but less tedious. The bonds of friendship challenge was literally the hardest thing I've done in any video game, including Dark Souls, Elden ring and Bloodborne...like those games are hard, but even if you die, you get to retry that boss or enemy basically immediately...here, nah, you die to Odin, fight through 9 rounds again before facing him again. With hard mode final boss fight, I cheesed it by giving everyone the expeditionary medal, since everyone except cloud gets full limit breaks, so with that medal, they all start with full level 2 limit. xD Any way, amazing video! ^^

[@ForzaTerra89]

Gongaga was awful. I hope they learn from that for the next entry, cosmo canyon was bad but Gongaga was a lot worse

[@StunnaPlatinums]

Yeah the mushrooms in Gongaga were pretty annoying now that I remember lol, I just like how vibrant everything was and the music in Gongaga. A checkpoint system would have been amazing for the legendary bouta but I feel like they wanted to make it as hard as possible for everyone which I can respect but wasting 10-15 minutes for a run just to wipe to Odin is less than 2 minutes did make me step away a few times, I also read that people think the rulers of the outer worlds challenge was harder which I just can’t believe that lol And thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@davidwebster4871]

Literally sat with my 12 year old daughter last night trying to do the frog mini games , and she told me I should stop playing it for a while cus it’s driving me insane 😂

[@JohnGundy]

Mad props to anyone who gets this plat. Got the plat for remake, but I seen the chadley stuff, I was like nah. Still an absolutely amazing game & super excited for the third part.

[@Otisdic]

I'm currently taking this challenge but yesterday I was doing the sit-up challenge and I started doubting myself...It took me 2 hours and for a minute I thought I couldn't do it anymore due to me having carpel tunnel now...(i got souls games platinums but it's been years) Then I had a perfect run and gave me relief that I can do this...But some mini games like cactuar crush and the sit-ups are just so awful...

[@paulschatz86]

158 hours. Too much for a platinum. But i've seen every Pixel of this game and it was totally worth IT.

[@kgriffi22222]

280 hours and 100% log with The piano virtuouso and the 300% stagger trophies my last two for the plat Piano took me awhile to get but actually enjoyed it by the end 🤣 Nice video 👍🏼

[@conundrum60690]

Yuffies way better than you realize. Whether her weapon is out attacking when you use certain skills changes how they work which makes her the most versatile and effective fighter.

[@Sean-ft7ys]

Been trying to beat rulers of outer world with cloud Aerith and Tifa (ie. No Brumel form cheese) and it is a tough mother. I even went back to a normal mode save file I had and replayed up to Gilgamesh just to have a way to practice against him. Closest I’ve gotten is round 4 with Gilgamesh at 70% health. I honestly don’t even care about the platinum trophy stuff, just enjoy the challenge of the battles

[@ForzaTerra89]

I’ve got 3 left. Hard mode, the combat simulator and Johnnie’s hotel. The combat simulator I hit a wall at but I’ll come back to it when I finish hard mode. I’m halfway through my hard mode run through

[@amaturemenace]

The piano fucking killed me. Everything else wasn’t so bad

Brutal challenges put gray hair on my head

[@bibolargamer1353]

198 hours of pure neglect to my family and it was mine. It was very hard especially the VR challenges

[@ETHomerin]

I love having fun with the challenges and doing stuff to get items and NPC reactions. But I wish there was a way to cheat some of these games to get all the rewards but no trophy. A gold chocobo could make racing obsolete. For the piano, Cloud could sit down, but Tifa could reach over and do the playing. The blind guy wouldn't know the difference lol. Any gym challenge could be made easy with a character drinking that Wall Market 'sauce' that we all know is some kind of drug lol

[@mikerude5073]

I platinumed it too. The format of some things is completely unreasonable. My concern is how many players will attempt this and give up in frustration. Those kind of sour grapes can hurt future sales. Personally I think those VR gauntlets ought to have checkpoints. Otherwise the player is stuck repeating stuff the have already beat. 6 hours of that to beat Rulers was not fun, it was like being forced to watch a half hour unskippable cut scene between attempts where I actually needed practice. I never want to see that piano again either. Beat it, but didn't enjoy it. Post story content ought to make us enjoy the game more, not less. At the end, even after plat, I find myself bitter with the game for the unreasonable format of no ckeckpoints and frustrating, unfun, minigames. Other than the excess unfun minigames and post story VR stuff, the game was really fun.

[@OTDECK]

Ah the age of guide reading plats

Haha, if you've made it through the ps3/360 Ninja Gaiden missions, then you already know frustratingly challenging missions. Those really prepare you for anything this game has for you.

[@conundrum60690]

The most difficult achievements shouldn’t be part of the platinum. Be their own separate achievement. The game has difficulty settings for a reason and you shouldn’t be restricting content on it.

[@Xedri]

I was here for like...20% of it via stream :)

[@kensuke0]

This platinum is so terrible that for the third game, I’m only just gonna beat the main game and skip everything else. That’s how much I’ve come to detest the extra content because of rebirth.

[@reggiepoirier3628]

Do you have advice on the Piano mini game your one of the only people that said they didn't mind it

[@StunnaPlatinums]

Yeah! what I did was for the speed only make it the 2nd level of speed, and then you only have to get an A rank not an S on the songs so that made it easier, and then it just came down to me memorizing the patterns and what parts were coming up next, I also played the piano in real life so idk if that helped me as well, but the biggest thing for me was just memorizing what parts were coming up and being ready for that, that’s about the only advice I can give, it still took me my fair share of tries.

[@draconflamewing7422]

@@StunnaPlatinums i finally beat odin, relise when he splits up the battle field you dont want to be on same side as him, and there are a few seconds to move to the otherside of the wall before it becomes solid. Cause the side he lands on does AOE damage constantly. I mostly forcus on using primemode conter attacks with cloud and attack with Zack after i cast Lvl 3 wind. Also using Zacks abilitys to give him synergy instead of spells, and cast spells after using zack and clouds combo.

Wait a minute you finish the entire game and you never excavated more than one treasure buried by rabbits?? 😮 25:11 Update: I just realized that you literally just completed the main story and ignored every single side thing in the game, I mean you didn't explored anything you just went straight to the storyline. And only after you finish the game you decided to do any of the extra stuff. 😬

[@saintmichael11]

I pretty much quit this game. RNG amd other cheats make those last 2 VR fights and Ch 14 impossible without going in and debuffing everything. Problem is that won't happen when got players soloing and doing sub 5 minutes.

[@TigraSpartan]

What sanity lmfao? Easiest FF platinum in my collection. Zero grind, busted builds, broken skills and justframe guard.

[@elwingy]

Its overall a great game but the endgame content is absolutely horrible. It is designed to waste your time, exhaust your patience, infuriate you and it is downright annoying and not rewarding at all. By the end of your quest to 100% this game you dont feel a sense of accomplishment and reward, you just feel relief that it is over and done with. And there is no better way to prove this than your reaction at 40:00 which totally reflects mine as well... "I am not even happy". Exactly, you are not happy, you are relieved. I dont know who was directly responsible for the decisions behind the design of the endgame content, but he shouldnt be allowed near such discussions ever again. It felt like the devs intent was not to make you enjoy the challenge but to troll you, as if their mission was to make you hate the game you loved just a few hours ago....The Sephiroth boxing match is the very epitome of the most horrible game design I have ever seen in games and should be presented as a prime example every time the term "horrible game design" is mentioned. They are clueless on how to create hard, challenging but at the same time FAIR endgame content that respects your time and your sanity.

[@StunnaPlatinums]

I agree, the endgame is more of a chore than enjoyable and it definitely made me enjoy the game less from when i initially beat it, still my game of the year, but the endgame is just a slog

[@saintmichael11]

Problem all these videos of people blowing through them in sub 5. Odds are part 3 will be twice as hard with no reward whatsoever.

[@elwingy]

@@saintmichael11 Yeah I know lol. They are part of the "problem" :P SE obviously sees a few people finish these things solo and in no time and thinks the rest of 99.9% of players out there are able to commit to something like that... Maybe poor sales are going to make them think twice though, even if trophies shouldnt be the reason for poor sales.
