@pphead4312 Fair enough. After 10s of attempts on Bonds, I got too comfortable using zack with cloud. Yes, most of it only used cloud, but when I needed to use sephy....I could not use him for the life of me. That was my shortfall. But, yes... it was much easier and quicker than Bonds of gayshit.

[@nathanking5137]

I got the platinum in 188 hours. I care for my nan full time so had bags of time on my hands. Platinumed 2 months after release. Cactuar crush with Aerith is horrible, Choco glide 3 is torture and the final battle arena is tough as nuts. But its possible! Good luck

[@s0nyuhshigay]

As soon as I saw you had to dodge lightning in FF10, I didn't even bother with platinum. I can't even dodge 3 in a row. Who has the patience/focus to do 200??? Props to whoever those folks are

And then there's the 1000 jump rope minigame in ff9 😆 🤣 😂

[@JoaoVitor-yf8lo]

The lightning dodging one is actually not as bad as it sounds (i got it on the 2nd try). I found the chocobo racing and that butterfly minigame to be the ones that really made this platinum hard

There's a place that you can cheese it a little by "forcing" the lightning to strike so its easy to predict.

I was never into final fantasy growing up as a kid, but I recently got the plat for 16, which then prompted me to try the 7 remake and I've had an absolute blast. Will definitely be getting more plats from the series!

[@kevinburke1325]

I can't get the platinum for 16. That Garuda combo that you have to do mid air won't trigger no matter if I do it correctly or not. I also visited every place on the map and that didn't trigger for some reason either. After that, I was like screw it.

[@HappySquid89]

I'm still waiting on that 13 trilogy re-release. Mark my words, if they do that I'll plat all 3 of them! Still got my PS4 with NT set up. You know I like that game and have like 300 hrs in it. So I wouldn't mind helping you with the trophies, even if I'm not planning on getting them myself.

[@Evan.280]

I wanna platinum FFXIII but the treasure hunting trophy sounds miserable. I have the platinum for Lightning Returns and loved that one. But XIII might be one I skip

[@groudonvert7286]

Treasure Hunter is not that bad in comparison of other trophies. I don't about the PR version but FF4 3D has the most stupid trophies in existence. With guides and routes that made the grinding much less tedious as it was before, Treasure Hunter is easier and less time consuming than it was before.

[@Beliasa01]

I platted all 3 and I think LR was the most enjoyable.

[@Maxbeedo2]

I currently have plats for 7R, 7CCR, X, X-2, XII:TZA, XIII, XIII-2, LR, XV, XVI, Type-0, TFBL, and working on the one for SoP:FFO. Might someday go back to I-IX. WoFF is one I quit on because the mini-games are SOOOOOOO bad, on top of the extreme tedium. X, XIII and XVI were ones where the platinum grind negatively affected my enjoyment of the game because of the tedium. X-2 Final Mission maybe a little as well. 7R, XIII-2 and XII:TZA I'd say improved my enjoyment of them. 7R Hard Mode and XII:TZA Trials were challenging yet fun. XIII-2's endings are all interesting and worth seeing.

[@Everythingwillsurelybealright]

Ooh I love the format of this one! I’d absolutely love to see the guides for each game - trophies are so addictive.

[@dtb345]

Type 0 is actually super easy and can speedrun it in 8 hours if you skip cutscenes, And as someone who also did Dissida NT it's not too bad but it is a huge grind but i was thinking of doing the free version at as well so if you want a grind partner i wouldn't mind

[@BlueTurn]

Loved the video. Was never a trophy hunter but love watching people trophy hunt. Its always so interesting.

[@GamersVideoTerritory]

Little correction to the Treasure Hunter from XIII. You don't have to have all of the items in your inventory at once, when you are sure you have upgraded an item to its final form and don't need it you can sell it. As long as you have held every single unique weapon and accessory in your inventory at some point on your playthrough it's enough. (There are some really handy checklists out there for tracking this). Also the trophy only requires weapons and accessories, other items are not needed. And it's only missable if you go selling your one time items before upgrading them (if my memory serves me), as long as you upgrade everything before selling them it shouldn't be missable.

[@Joesephyr]

Thats great to hear, thank you for the clarification!

[@groudonvert7286]

To add a bit, you can sell everything in the game without problem, every weapons can be purchased in shops, most equipments can be bought in shops or are unique items found in unmissable chests or mission rewards. You can sell everything BUT the Elemental Charms. If you sold the Elemental rings, dismantling the Elemental Charms will give you the basic Rings (only equipments you have to upgrade that can't be bought in any shop). For the other trophies, not getting 5 stars immediately can be extremely tedious to do again, because the early missions have tight objectiv battle time (it's based on yhow advanced you are in Crystarium and Equipments upgrade), making them much harder to 5 stars in post-game. The Turtle success is not about Adamantoise, who are indeed weak to death, but about Long Gui, one of 13's Superbosses. This turtle is immune to Death. And if I can recommend a guide for Plat 13, I recommend to follow the plat% speedrun guide. One of the reason being the speedrunners route the run so you Basically finish all tedious trophies at the same time (Treasure Hunter and the Crystarium).

[@RAGEAlanBun]

For getting the Joker’s Death achievement on FFVI you can actually use the pause buffering technique to get triple 7’s. It is very difficult and nowhere near as easy as the SNES version, but I completed FFVI a couple of weeks ago and used this method. Un-pausing with A or Cross, and re-pausing with start lets you move frame perfectly once you get used to it. Each slot has a different set of symbols and moves at different speeds. I can’t remember the exact places to unpause but I basically went through each slot, wrote down all the symbols and experimented with the best time to stop at. Once I had a plan I just used pause buffering to get to the right part of the slot, then un-paused and stopped the slots. It took me about an hour or so from start to finish, including writing everything down. Definitely a bit of a pain but it was a lot better than just waiting for the RNG to give me a good result. Great video btw!

[@UltimateSoulX]

Nice video! I would like a guide/experience telling of platinum all the main FF games :D

[@TheDonitus]

genuinely think chocobo dungeon is the hardest platinum, having to not only beat a 500 floor dungeon but beat it multiple times because you need a drop from the final boss that is an rng drop is what made me give up on it for awhile at least.

You could well be right....

[@RAGEAlanBun]

Generally, I really like it when RPG games have no missible items or decisions. That’s why I really like the chapter system from Remake/Rebirth. Playing a 30-40 hour RPG only to find you’ve missed something and if you want to get a platinum you need to spend another 20 hours just to get it is a total pain. Not too long ago I played Trails in the Sky FC on Steam and wanted to get all the achievements without looking anything up. I ended up missing one item I needed and since the game doesn’t let you go back and revisit old towns I had to replay almost the full game again in order to get it. In general I don’t really like guides as I like to explore the game myself, but after that I tend to use a missables guide just so I make sure I don’t miss out on something important.

[@drums450]

[@ultrakenshiro]

I did the 10,000 kills in FF9 at Gizamaluke's Grotto since there is a higher chance of getting 4 enemies in 1 fight. I did this with the high speed and max damage manually. It took me roughly 12-13 hours of straight grinding. Only platinums I’m missing from the main series is 12, 13, 13-2, Lightning Returns and 14. I don’t really plan on doing the spin offs or I think 14 either.

[@adeadphish7931]

Don't tempt me, because I know I will try this, and I know 9 and 10 will be where I learn how stubborn I am or where my breaking point is

[@b.johnjamin7439]

Great video, agreed on most points (especially WoFF and FFX-2)! I would just say that grinding adamantoises in FF13 was actually pretty awful- the trap drop rate was horrendous for me, so it took more than a week just death-ing turtles (which isn’t super hard, but not paying very close attention can mean the death strat fails to work well).

[@MrTeetam]

I'm at 14 FF platinums at the moment. Many more I'd like to get. Slowly chipping away on XIV (PS5), and up to 3 on the pixel remasters. Cheers for the tip of speeding up time makes the IX speedrun easier. Haven't got to that yet but it's less intimidating knowing that's an option.

[@TheDarkGermanGamer]

As someone who is trying to complete both of the FF14 trophy lists I completely agree with your rating of "ULTIMA" for both lists. It is a great game and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves MMOs and FF. Especially since they extended the free trial to Stormblood. While it is easy to get most of the PS4 trophies it takes some time to get through the story of ARR (if you're not skipping cutscenes) and has two trophies that make it such a huge grind: - "An Adventurer's Life" for completing 1000 levequests. The trophy takes almost 6 months due to the limited amount of allowances you need to start the quests. - "Destiny's" for completing 1000 FATEs. Fates aren't difficult but doing 1000 of them is just really time consuming and in my opinion really boring. It's the last trophy I need on PS4 and I'm currently only at 464. The PS5 platinum trophy is much more time consuming. It requires the completion of the main story up to the end of the post Shadowbringer quests which alone takes a few hundred hours. For some reason they decided to raise the requirement to 3000 FATEs and added trophies for crafting 5000 (I'm currently at 300) and gathering 8000 collectables (currently at 603). It doesn't make the platinum hard or fun just mind numbingly tedious. I have earned 127 out of 159 trophies and wouldn't recommend going for the 100% of the PS5 list to anyone who values their time and sanity 😆. Some trophies are really grindy (344 triple triad cards, island sanctuary, catch 1460 unique fish, leveling all characters in the trust system to 90 etc.), some are luck based (reaching the end of both treasure map dungeons) and some are really difficult (savage raids, criterion dungeons, clearing all 3 deep dungeons solo etc). Ultimate raids are luckily not a part of the trophy list yet but trophies based on ultimate don't seem unlikely anymore since they added trophies for comleting the deep dungeons solo. Sorry for the long comment. I'm just really passionate about FF14 and trophy hunting 😅

[@Joesephyr]

Never apologise for a long comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video enough to speak up so much on the subject! I'm super close to the PS5 one, I've got all the collectibles, it's just the FATEs left to go now, and I haven't loaded it up on PS4 in quite a while, so I'll have to see if they'll retroactively pop for me, as I know I've done the leves (thank you Coffee Biscuits back in ShB!), but that was what stopped me with PS5!

[@BakaShift]

I think I'd originally planned to get every FF Plat before 7 Remake came out, but ended up not bothering as WOFF and XIV would have been a part of that. Certainly a bunch more out now as well! Agreed on X & X-2, I think the only reason I was even able to manage those was because I didn't have a full time job at the time lol. I don't think I agree on Type-0 though, it's been years since I played it but I recall it being quite easy and very quick. One thing to note on that is that the Plat doesn't actually require you to complete anywhere near as much content as the game actually has. I looked up some of the other content and yeah, if you did need to fully complete everything in that game it'd be a nightmare. I haven't actually played an FF in a while, but man if they do finally drop XIII remasters I'd be jumping on that before anything else. I enjoyed every moment of getting all 3 of those plattys.

I thought it'd be a good idea to try for all the mainline FF plats since I had a few already. I quit 9 due to the trophy where you need to win a "guess the cup" minigame a bunch of times in a row.

I may try again, since I am getting close to finishing 14s plat and only have easy ones left (aside from 9) when that's finally done.

Whoever designed that needs to be banished to tend to the fields on the moons of Jupiter.

I’ve never earned a Platinum Trophy, I think the closest I got was in Tekken 5 or 6, the only thing I was missing was beating some sort of optional giant robot thing on a hard difficulty. I’ve only recently started caring about the achievements, or at least checking for them. They’re so baked into the landscape of gaming that even “gamified” stuff has achievements like computers and certain work environments. I finally started the FF14 trial by the way, I’m already 70 with my black mage after like 3 weeks. It’s more addicting than morphine and speed. 2:00, ooh I do remember agonizing over missing some chests in the FF Origins version for 2. Some are in fact missable. X-2 has gotta be HARD, I remember my sister and I spending hours upon hours on just the various side quests alone WITHOUT trophies.

[@BornFromEmbers]

Rebirth’s plat does ask a lot of you, but the difficulty/time requirement is overhyped. I see alotta people saying it takes like 200 hours. Maybe, if you don’t have thumbs. I got the plat a couple weeks ago and my final time was 124 hours (which is still a lot don’t get me wrong). I’m not a super gamer or anything either. I got lost, stuck on certain parts in hard mode, I died on the challenges quite a bit, etc. It’s difficult, but it’s not THAT difficult. I definitely have done much harder plats.

[@Vereid]

I did the 1,000 jumps on Jump Rope as a kid (as my mate LIED to me and claimed you would get a rare weapon, I didn’t forgive him for several weeks because of that). Anyway….i did that once and only once. When it came to the PS4 FF9, I was having none of it and used that remote play thing to just cheese it (as a majority of people did). There was no way I was going through that hell again lol…. I don’t know what they were thinking with 9’s trophy list. 10,000 enemies, every ATE (though I ended up seeing some scenes I’d never seen before so I liked that), all chests and the card game…I can manage all that. But the Jump Rope can die in a fire. FFX’s I don’t find nearly as bad, though some parts of it are just tedious (and I made it worse for myself as I wanted 255 luck and 99,999 HP with everyone). I still wish the Pixel Remasters had the GBA extra dungeons and content. I know a lot of people aren’t that fond of them, but I actually liked the extra parts of 5 and 6. Edit: And absolutely agree with Crisis Core being boring to platinum.

The difference between the PS4 and PS5 FFXIV platinums is crazy. I've got the PS4 platinum and found it a nice challenge, but the grinds required to get the PS5 plat is so much more. The trophies for 3000 fates and 8000 gathering collectibles are probably the biggest walls for me. Slowly getting there with fates as I always need them for something else, but gathering collectibles is a mamoth task; I don't think I'm even near close to those.

[@Quakernautic21]

Omg and there i was thinking i have most of them and then i see the list 😮 gotta work on NT too

[@cj_skywalker]

You are not expected to do the Ultimates in FFXIV, that will probably be trophies for a future expansion. :)

[@cs82271]

FF7 made me quit my platinum hunt because I failed the date with Barrett and didn't want to restart. Glad I stopped early because of FF9 jump rope and everything FF10

[@virtualbunksie5117]

13 was actually the hardest platinum, 9 was a close second. 10 is easy. Its just tough to keep going on the max sphere grid.

[@chronicguardian9684]

I actually think Type-0 should be moderate to easy since the time constraints become a non-issue on subsequent play-thrus.

[@97ajg]

Not sure if someone commented already but the first soldier and Yuna garbs are still available in the pc version of lightning returns at least not sure on ps3 or Xbox

[@TalesZuliani]

FFXIII was my very first platinum ever

[@doctorknow]

Wait. Sephiroth on hard mode in FF7 Remake is simple and easy? Im being gaslighted over here.

[@nicom.9204]

Is it still possible to do dissidia nt?

[@itszhero4538]

The Tierlist is pretty solid! There are just 1 or 2 title I would move up or down, but this is just a point of view. I would put FF IX it into the hard Tier, because except that horrible rope jumping minigame, nothing is really challenging into it. And I would put World of Final Fantasy and Type-O into moderate Tier. WWoF the only thing that really sucked was that board game to play to get the mirage and Type-0 basicly doesn't ask you to go through everything in the game. I really don't like that game and I was pretty happy when I got that Platinum, but I'm sure if they asked more to do, I would defintily out it into hard tier too. Note for FFX-2: The game has to be done in 2 playthrough, just because there are mandatory missables with which side you want to go (with or against Neo-Yevon) I'm very interessted into going to platinum Dissidia NT. I have to play it again, because I only played it when it got released and I haven't even finished the story mode.

[@TheBean999]

I personally wouldn’t put FFX in the S tier of difficulty. It’s more of a grind than actually difficult. If you take into account that you’re going to obtain the ultimate weapons and the monster arena anyways as a standard play through then the rest is just grinding out the sphere grid.

[@WaifuAkenoHimejima]

Doing X currently but almost done just need to max 2 Characters Luck to Max

[@alfredgrimm2147]

Wow that's crazy to see...and funny story, I'm right now in my platinum run for all Final Fantasy games haha, finished 1-5 so far and I Looooove FF9 as well and I know that the plat will be pure pain even that I played trough it over 10times in maybe round about 20years haha

[@connorbrennan7852]

The FF games I’ve ‘platinumed’ are: 7 remake 7 rebirth (defo ultima this. Me and Zack are no longer friends) 7 crisis core reunion 10 10-2 13 13-2 13-LR 15 Everything but the FF7 related games. I played on my Xbox and was gonna redo them now that I’ve switched to PS5, and as much as ff is my favourite franchise. I dunno if I have it in me. To grind 10 and 10-2 again

[@sevenheavens4117]

The platinum of the pixel remasters on steam are a bit more tricky, as the steam version doesn't have any booster or cheats available.

[@Joesephyr]

Yeah, they did make it easier with the console releases, it's weird that they never retroactively put them on steam!

[@groudonvert7286]

The 3d version of 3 and 4 are also (much) harder. Ff6 (not the PR one) also has a trophy that is extremely tedious and time consuming : Gau's Rages.

[@humrazmalik2023]

Biggest question.....did u get the jump rope trophy legit or did u use remote play trick?

[@chriss6297]

I’ve been working on all the mainline games and their direct sequels, I have some of the easier ones, so far 7, 8, 12, and 16. was working on 9 when I got sidetracked with star ocean, but man platinuming is a big undertaking lol. I figured I’ve been playing these games my whole life, might as well go the extra mile for each one for that pretty little ribbon to tie off each chapter kinda thing

[@Joesephyr]

Thats pretty much how I felt about them, be nice to have a thing that I can show people :D

[@Vayne_Solidor]

The 12 platinum is quite challenging. Especially the trials. Have to add, I NEVER used the cheat weapon Seitengrat. I have heard it makes 100% much easier.

[@lonelywolf23786]

Only FF games I platinumed are FF13-2 and FF7 Remake. Currently trying to platinum FF16

[@brandonwood6869]

Interesting take on the platinums. For the most part I agree except FF9. I would drop that to moderate. Rebirth Plat is probably around the hard category. Maybe FF 10 drop to hard as well. Obviously FF14 expansions have the hardest of any trophies in the series.

[@jamjam445]

9: jump rope 10: Chocobo Race Screw. Those. Trophies.

[@JustAnotherGamerUS]

i would trophy boost with you for Dissidia NT

[@ryukishihighwind9303]

Great video! I almost agree with everything! ^^ I'm trying to get all Steam achievements (since i dont have the other consoles) for all FF games and was scared of Dissidia NT but might give it a go xD In Steam we have the spin-off of FF IV:After years, i don't really know if the game is in PS or XBOX with achievements, but i remember that 100%, it was funny but kinda tidious haha Also... I didn't know FF XIV had achievements in PS... I love that game, with all my heart, but that's evil xD

[@Joesephyr]

No plat for After Years, though to be honest I count my blessings for that one, I... Was not a fan XD

[@mattcarter6158]

i have been working on the FFX platinum but it has mentally drained me. I have the lightning and chocobo trophies but the time and effort to do Blitzball and the whole grid for each character is gonna be the end for me I think..

[@ddgnp1057]

I think the sphere grid one mostly comes naturally with a few hour grind at the end in which you can fill up the other character's grids with anything using Clear Spheres to wipe out stat spheres you cbf grinding for. Magic Defence spheres are the easiest to grind for this purpose. It's completely pointless though in gameplay terms, and it's still a 100 hour plat which was mostly for me monster RNG. It did teach me to never leave the hardest trophies to last when hunting other games; oftentimes I would do that with other games and it just becomes a psychological barrier more than anything. With the lightning one there is a spot that consistently spawns it and once you get the rhythm down it just becomes a mental thing. I think it's better to just not count them and wait until you fuck up. I think I had over 100 more than needed but I didn't really care. X-2 is horrible if like me you're trying for the perfect run in a single playthrough. I got about 30 hours in before realising I screwed up one of the camera bits and then saved. It's not TOO bad if you just go through NG+ a bit but me being me that destroyed all motivation I had to continue. It's not surprising that you still only hit 99% while following a guide; I was following a couple purely due to how inconsistent they were. In my opinion though I feel like if I can plat X then anyone can. I'd probably put it at the second highest tier and I feel like the only game that belongs up there is IX. There's just no boosting your way out of the skipping rope. I've done 1-3 of the Pixel Remasters so far and even without the boosts they're pretty easy (I did turn movement speed up though). XII is my favourite game in the series yet I've still put off finishing the platinum trophy for years due to the bloody Quickening one which if you know how that works you'll understand. It was a lazy list in general as they mostly just transplanted the Sky Pirate's Den into the list to the point where they initially removed it from the game entirely (they patched it back later after fan outcry). The last few floors of Trial Mode are pretty bad too. I've done XIII-2 twice on PS3 and Xbox. If there was a spot between Easy and Moderate I'd put it there. It's FAR easier than XIII is but there's still some annoyances like the slots and clocks. Lightning Returns can be done on the easiest difficulty which completely removes the main gameplay gimmick as a factor. I would imagine if they did remaster them they'd add the costumes in as standard. I'm pretty sure I got that game later and I still got those costumes. XV is one of the easiest in the series as you basically can't die in the main game. It's just a bit of a timesink but so are the other games aside from the pixel ones. 100% though is another matter entirely and is now impossible due to them migrating the Comrades servers to the standalone. The DLC superbosses are also quite hard as you can't just load up on healing items to beat them. I'd say Pocket Edition is harder due to a couple of contextual trophies. Type-0 is also fairly easy. Like Persona the time limit is only moved along with certain actions and there's nothing that really makes you go out of your way. It's almost disappointing that it doesn't make you see everything the game has to offer as there's a lot of NG+ stuff in the game. The worst part of Crisis Core is leveling up the DMW which is just leaving the game running on an easy encounter. I'm a fan of the game and in terms of a remaster/remake it's one of the best/most faithful I've played but the missions can get tedious and a lot of them will just be done at the final save point. World of Final Fantasy is pretty tedious, especially seeing as they locked the treasure chest tracker behind DLC and didn't add trophies to DLC when they did for the Xbox version.
