The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Platinum Trophy RUINED Me 

Congrats therese are like number 20/80 of the most difficult challenges in this game

Too busy doing mundane tasks even while on the main quest. Unfortunate.

the game over screen music after they ate it had me ded lol💀

that was the most satisfying part of that quest. lol

Nice pay-off to an otherwise horrendous side quest

@@AMKVII The chicken quest has to be one of the most annoying escort quests I've ever done. The NPC asks you to find 3 chickens.. I nearly died when when you head to the 3rd location and your characters run half way across the map then also relieved it ended in a fight. There was no way I was going to reel that that bird across the zone like that. (Also hated Red XIII commenting every time I failed to keep the bird's attention.)

It felt just after all that chicken made me endure

I raged for days because of party animal.. it was a nightmare.... but once I was able to FINALLY do it when Sephiroth came he didn't even touch me 😅😅 finished him first try, was very easy..

I did the pause method. Keep pausing to read what the guy is gonna do. I hate mini games but party animal was a bit easier than tier 3 of most mini games.

@@nickstockwell9148 That's what I did too and it was way easier using that method. I'm not planning to bother with platinum though cause Fort Condor can F right off...

Dont give up and dont move on. I thought sephiroth was overall easier than party animal guy

I got nearly everything in party animal done until encountering the g-bike bug, then i uninstalled the game, reinstalled without the update, and had to do it all over again from the autosave at the beginning.... only to give up on the sephiroth brawler. i'm sure i could've gotten it with more time, but i was just fed up at that point.

I haven't even gotten that far. UPA G-Bike Glitch + Digital Version = Swearing Donald The latest patch fixed it, but I am currently leveling up my party and Materia. Also, Shiva already left mental scars, and she only had TWO attacks that looked alike. Middle Manager and Sephy are going to break me, aren't they.

Even with that bullshit still took me an hour to beat Sephiroth. It’s their damn hand movements, they all looks identical with slight alterations!

Yeah the uppercut is easy to spot but the other two have a difference of like a few inches that they pull their hands back

There is a guide with pics of the pre-punch looks of each one

I didn't know about the pause thing and did all the battles without it (it took me 4 hours to finish life is a pain😢)

Oh man, that piano challenge is some top tier BS. 4 songs were easy, 1 took a second (maybe 3rd) try, and the last 1 took too goddamn long!

@@487trentos NONE of the songs is easy💀😭🤌

Piano is A rank needed so its one of the easiest most of the other minigames you need max rank and they are way harder

@@Stanlyy. I saw comments saying that some struggled with Fort Condor and Queens Blood while I as a tabletop-person breezed through that. But rhythm games with an analogue stick and paralel button input demands are a weakness of mine💀

I swear am I the only one that loves the Piano game? Let The Battles Begin and One Winged Angel each took me a little less than half an hour to perfect. Every other song took me 5 or less tries to perfect.

I just wish I didn't even try. I gave up. The chadley trophy is the last I need and I just fucking gave up because it's so incredibly unreasonable

@@carnivalcadaver69 Exactly. Too heavy focus on minigames, sidecontent and compulsory filler content (box throwing, walking simulators, and having to switch materias 1-by-1 because awful characters like Cait Sith want to fight etc) made me give this game a lower score. The ending could've been my saving grace but even that was a letdown. 7/10.

​@@carnivalcadaver69the Charley stuff is actually the easiest😂....fuck them minigames man

@@mockmansiniNah, the mini games are annoying but doable. Playing like ten consecutive rounds with enemies on steroids is fucking unreasonable as hell.

Yup, my suggestion for everyone is play the story, play all the sidequests, complete all the open world activities, go for minigames as long as you're having fun, and then forget about legendary VRs and Hard Mode, I quit the game yesterday, literally only one thing missing, Zack's VR mission, but it's just too much, If i were on PC I would probably find some way to save in-between rounds via cheats or something, because it's just straight up torture

I didn't know about that method took me like 2h but it was doable still bs though

It's easy. Just turn back to get more air time

Bit of a learning curve but as V.II said, you have to go back and get more air. I had to look it up because I couldn’t figure that out.

Wasn't that hard at all.

done it from 5th time... just get as much air time as you want with the propelers.

I am at 180 hours and almost have platinum trophy.

Unlike everyone else I wasn't going for the plat. But I sure as hell did everything to perfection. So hearing people mad due to the plat I'm like....the shit being hard is the real problem

this game seems like such a drag compared to remake part 1. Just the ubisoft open world stuff already ruined this for me, i am not excited to play this, unlike in part 1.

@megakoni1 yeah, the game is draining for sure. I finished the can't stop won't stop sidequest but am dreading doing it on hard mode to get the manuscript. I will probably be way over 200 hours by the time I platinum this game. It is ridiculous and no exploration really just destroys the fun of the game. Like they did not need to add the brutal and legendary combat either. It's getting very ridiculous.

186 hours and got platinum today

Yeah, the git gud people are fucking annoying

Yeah, same. Most of these suck ass and are totally not needed. Card game, chocobo racing, Red XIII football and piano were the ones I loved. The whole god damn corel cactuar one can go f**k itself with gym, pirate ship shooting and 3D brawler. At NG+ I just quit at the cactuar minigame. Aerith one just sucks. It's the only minigame I haven't completed. I love the game but the crap forced minigames ruined my mood many times.

@@lakkuh If you ever do try it again, a piece of advice is to at least be near level 50, and use Transcendence whenever you can against big cactuars, and also, trying to run up to a lot of small cactuar clusters is reccomended and then immediately use sorcerous storm, as it can kill a lot of them quickly.

​@@lakkuhwussie.

Don’t do em

kero kero, kero kero.. i spent 3-4 hours stuck at 119 secs on that bs minigame. i knew i didnt have to finish it but my gamer pride wouldnt let me lose to a bunch of spinning columns

Why did you have to type that... now it's stuck back in my head again

I just regret doing my first play through as if I was going to get the plat on a second play through. I would have still done all of the side quests but I probably wouldn't have bothered with a good chunk of the side content. I really enjoyed this game but would have been perfectly happy cutting 20 hours off my first play through if I had realized I would not ever be going for plat.

kero kero kero kero kero sorry kero

Yea I'm a crazy ocd completionist.. & keep thinking.. "why am I doing this if I'm not truly enjoying it??" Yet a few hours later, I'm again considering going for it (still on 1st playthrough).

@@Styles_Breez thus is the cycle. We do be gamin

Same reaction. Why am I bothering with these stupid Chadley challenges? But then I just feel an urge to complete everything.

it may not be fun but for me it was the addiction to the game. i have never put so many hours into a game ever in a week! i cleared the game on sunday after it came out on wednesday, i spent 12 hours a day and then after sunday i kept on going and going deluding myself into thinking there were weapon fights of some sort.

Boo

@@ronreed4050 its somehow even more horrifying in pfp form 😂

Replaying it in hard mode is faster because you can use fast travel and warp directly where you need to go. So it's because of this and overpowered materia setups. Bossfights will take some time to beat though. And swapping materia for every bossfight was soooo boring. I wish they will add materia loadouts in the next game. So you can save them and reuse them quickly

Facts hahaha

Bro, I was freaking out the whole way to the last chicken. "These ma F****s gonna make me go this fucking far."

I don't think they should make a bad side quest on purpose. Because my time was still wasted, and the "joke" was not worth the agony required.

I was legit about to give up on that last one but it didn’t make sense that I had to lead them ALL THE WAY BACK to village. I was cursing up a storm like there better be a damn fight 😂

I agree, the Chicken Quest is the greatest shit, in the history of Videogames. 🤢🤮

I feel the only really shitty part of it is the need to redo side quests in hard mode for the platinum. I LOVED the game, I did everything there was to do on my first run, then did all the hard mode challenges THEN a Hard mode run, but that last run was a story run for the challenge of the story bosses, there was no way I'd replay ALL the sidequests, as fun as they were. Might have been more motivated if I had waited a month or two between my normal run and my hard run.^^

⁠@@cirederfsamot2730huh? You don’t need to redo side stuff at all for hard mode

​@@satanbakesale for the platinum, you do. Doing them in hard mode gives you manuscripts that give you the missing folios points needed to complete said Folios, and there is a Trophy attached to unlockings all weapon skills + all folios. If you simply play the story in hard mode without doing sidequests, you end up with a few nodes you can't unlock on each characters; which happened to me and made me decide NOT to do the Platinum for this sole reason ^^. Aside from this trophy, I was only missing the 300% stagger damage, and that one would have been easy with Tifa (unbridled strenght/true strike) and Cait Sith (Moogle Knuckle) against a Summon or a rare/elite monster in hard mode, but seeing the folio requirements made me quit instantly XD

​@@cirederfsamot2730 I had that trophy at beggining of hard mode, just reset the skill tree and learn limit level 3 and some of the elemental abilities for each character (sorry 4 bad english 😅)

@@Bourne93 oh damn ! It's not ALL the nodes, only the ability ones ? Well thanks for the info, I guess I'll go back to it then !

He is so Shinra coated. I see that mad genius behind his eyes.

@@cici39177 Plus Hojo has Chadley's body and his brothers (?) corpses/bodies. Chadley will probably have a sad ending like Roche (I still miss him)

pisses me off that they left us at the cliffhanger there. xD

Yeah it’s also more funny for me because I have a few hours before this video started with hit&run with archievements hehe

Thank you!! I definitely plan on doing more of this style of content 💪🏻

I wish I made this decision 😭 now I invested too much and cant stop wont stop

Lmao same. Remake flashbacks of squats and pull ups.

I did that too. There's no reason for anyone to bust their balls playing those minigames on hard mode when the reward is the same.

Can they patch in a fkn retry button on chadleys vr challenges..........

Which the video's creator literally explains a minute later. My comment still stands.

Mad because bad

I stun lock Sephiroth with constant fireagas with Aerith on arcane ward and Yuffie providing ATB with burmal form + ATB ward

@@Soniman001 That’s exactly what I did actually. If you can keep using firaga at Sephiroth in time, (like you said stun locked) he’ll keep bouncing about giving you enough time to take him out at ease. Lol

My uncles dad works at square and he says the final challenge is going to be fighting six mini sephiroths at once

Lmao so true

How did you do it???

@@josiah9084manawall on all party members and spam firaga on sephiroth with arcane ward. When he changes, spam blizzaga.

After finishing all of his damn simulator, I legit had a PTSD-like reaction when passing by him and hearing his little background music.

they key to enjoying that minigame was to make sure she was in her beachwear

Agreed and hate that they brought this minigame back. WHO ASKED FOR THIS CRAP?

Turn off the haptics, makes it a lot easier. Still annoying though

Simple build please

@@s1ber1anstorm41 it's been a couple weeks since I beat RotOW, but from what I recall I used the basic build I'd been using throughout hard mode. Writing/reading is lengthy here, but execution is simple imo. Cloud is the ATB man with the Sleek Saber, Yuffie high magic focused, Barret the survivor man. I'll try to remember specifics, but it was just an all-rounder build. It's not as fast as builds I've seen online ("RoTOW in 10 minutes!"), but it has high survivability and lets you actually learn the fights and survive mechanics that would ruin your run compared to these RU-vid builds. So for specifics, as far as I remember: Cloud had Sleek Saber & First Strike, Skill Master, ATB Assist, ...there might be another? Steadfast block? Can't remember offhand, but ALL purple ATB boosting materia! ATB & phys attack weapon skills. Have Transference Module as the accessory for frequent LBs. Enemy Skill for Plasma Discharge (all that ATB boosting will have this proc'ing constantly) & Sonic Boom. Reraise+magic efficiency for any fights that could go sketchy (usually Odin & Bahamut); if Yuffie or Barret die, consider using Reraise on whoever is left since Cloud does not have a Revive. Cloud's MP should ONLY be used on Reraise, infrequently and only as needed. Try to use Cloud as much as possible, between ATB assist, transference module, and plasma discharge, it's just wildly beneficial for his uptime to be maxed out. Make sure he has armlet/defensive fire&ice materia+elemental, it'll let you slide through phoenix/kujata and make him your main during Sephiroth phase 2. Chakra, Pray, HP Up, Strength Up, and Precision Defense (you WILL need this for Sephiroth phase 1, unless you are just a natural parry god). If that's more materia than you can fit, sacrifice Pray first because Cloud will also have Soothing Wind from Enemy Skill. I was not super discerning for Barret, the whole idea is that he can be the last one standing to cast Arise or swap to take some heat off Cloud/Yuffie, and to increase stagger meters as much as possible. He should have a maxed HP Up, Vitality Up, Spirit Up, Precision Defense, Steadfast Block, Chakra, Pray, and Revive. He should have room for Cleansing if needed for Gilgamesh's frog, but I personally never found it necessary to use. ATB Boost(? The L1+R1 use yellow materia, idr the name) is also very helpful in a pinch for an emergency Arise or Pray. Use his highest physical attack weapon, and the accessory is up to you, it's not a make it break decision. Unless you are healing/Raising, All ATB should be spent on increasing stagger in all fights: Bonus Round, Turbulent Spirit followed by maxed Focused Shots. I only had 2 leveled elemental materia at the time; if you have 3, you can do fire+elemental (defensive) and get rid of the Spirit Up. Finally, Yuffie. HP Up, Magic Up, First Strike, Precision Defense, Healing+All, Barrier+All, Revive, (defensive)fire+elemental (at least 2 star/"immunity" level), ATB Boost, Auto Unique Ability, Chakra, possibly haste+magnify but at this point its just personal preference. Yuffie has low health and defense, so the Auto Unique Ability will keep her throwing star spinning and keep her out of melee as much as possible. Her main purpose is to be your clutch healer if an individual Chakra or a Prayer from Barret won't suffice. Magic Barrier will be helpful for Barret during the Kujata/Phoenix fight if he does not have fire+elemental, Barrier will be critical for the Sephiroth fight. Otherwise, Yuffie should be using her elemental abilities to assist with staggering & damaging enemies. First Strike helps with getting a quick elemental affinity, Barrier, or Haste right off the top of the fight. Try to have her "ATB ready" - keep one ATB in the barrel as much as possible for sudden heals or a quick Brumal Form or Blindside when needed. Use her highest magic damage weapon, and I think I gave her the space ranger metal of honor, idr. Again, not make or break. With all this, you should have a good enough kit to feel your way through most fights. You'll have survivability, which is the one thing most of these guides don't focus on, because they are more focused on a particular build that has to be executed perfectly. Reraise is your friend if you are struggling with some fights, but the idea is to learn the mechanics so this skill becomes a safeguard for mistakes or for deliberate planning, not something to have active on all 3 characters at all times. I think the only fight I deliberately used this for was for Odin, it was just easier to plan around the Zantetsuken and have Barret & Yuffie Reraise and individually rez Cloud to finish out the fight. Sephiroth is tough, but manageable. Do your best to perfect block the physical chains, but I didn't even try to block the magic chains. Just have your party topped up before Omnislash, and make sure Yuffie uses a Barrier+All prior to Omnislash. Omnislash isn't that scary when it's dropping your party to half health instead of nuking them completely. Another note about the chains - he can't catch you in them if you use a limit break or synergy attack. Save LBs and synergies to use as DEFENSIVES during Sephiroth phase 1, particularly for magic chains. The goal is to be aggressive as possible during this whole fight. Once he gets to phase 2, he stops using chains conpletely and uses strong magic instead, always fire phase first, followed by ice. You NEED to kill him by the time Ice phase ends, because the damage is crazy. Yuffie will be fine from fire elemental, and Cloud will be fine because of fire/ice elemental. Have Yuffie use Magic Barrier for Barret during the fire phase, and Magic Barrier+All for Ice phase. Otherwise, nuke the ever loving crap out of him before he murders you all with lightning. I consistently was getting to Sephiroth in my first few attempts (and that was with only 1 fire/ice+elemental), but kept dying due to chains and Omnislash once I got to Sephiroth. Blocking the chains is tough, but the first attempt where I committed to using Barrier and LB/synergy defensively, I got to phase 2 and beat him first try. The perfect block route is possible, but it's painful to have to reset because you made one mistake. Have Barrier up ahead of time and save yourself some heartache.

They asking for way too much to do for a platinum, not worth the struggle or pain.

Hated the chocobo flying and the crunch mini game was BS

@@davidordaz5251 Chocobo flying wasn't that bad for me actually. My hardest minigames were definitely Cactuar Crush Hard Mode because of Aerith and Crunches. I kid you not I spent 5 real hours doing the crunches cuz I did Rank 1 to Rank 3. Fucking hated that with a motherfucking passion!

@@surajshergill7777wow that sucks honestly

@@davidordaz5251it was hell man. But it's over. I'm on chapter 13 of hard mode, two more chapters to go and I'll have my platinum!

I hate that they brought that bullshit Jules minigame back, who asked for that? And they make it harder ON TOP OF IT.

I mean if you enjoy and love the game you'd try to platinum it anyway

@@phrofile3613 yeah I didn't enjoy and love the whole game. I would say I felt that way about the story and the core experience. But all that open world bloat and mini game after mini game. No thanks, just not fun imo.

I agree, I had way more trouble with the second one than the third

My problem with the chocobo minigame is that simply allowing you to use the right stick to move the camera would have fixed 90% of it. There's simply no reason why the right stick is the same as the left, it's some of the most baffling design fumbles I've seen in a game. You're forced to do it blind about 50% of the time for no reason.

I have a friend who is a pianist. I had him do it for me, since I couldn't do it. Even he struggled with it on lvl 1 note speed, and could only make the A rank when he took it up to note speed level 2.

You can turn off the motion controls 😂
