Thankyou for making me feel special as I have The FF13 Plat. And really enjoyed doing it :)

About L'Cie Paragon, the hardest mission to 5 star's are actually the easiest. If you decide to do them after finishing the story, they become really hard to 5 star. The reason is because the target time is based on your character developpment (both Crystarium and Equipments).

Could argue that those who spend hours on their ass trying to get a trophy are the lazy ones 🤔

I'm not devaluing the difficulty of the Final Fantasy XV entry, but there are rarer trophies in the DLCs. In Episode Ignis, I've earned the "Master of the Elements" troophy, only 0.3% of players earned it.

The rest challenge in FF13 is trying to get the achievement involing to nab every weapon and accessories. You need a check list just to be sure every weapon is level 2, picking one weapon for each party member their ultimate weapon. Then making sure you have at least one of every accessories just so the robot companion will offer you that achievement.

5 out of 7, I'm feeling good right about now. I would argue that in 13, the treasure hunter (obtain all weapons and accessories) was much harder- or at least much more tedious. At least the cieth trophy features interesting combat mastery. The treasure hunter just had you killing adamantortises for hours. On ff9, I still challenge someone to do the jump rope game without using a computer emulator. Bloodlust alone added probably 7 hours of just mindless kill grinding. Tetra master is at least a little fun

I’ve actually gotten 100% FF8 and FF13. I’m on the grind of the pixel remasters currently. 100% the first one as I read it had no missables anywhere so I blind ran it and picked up everything I missed. I started FF2 but the weird levelling really threw me, still playing it but not really enjoying it. FF3 hasn’t been touched. FFIV has been touched but I 100% it back when I had the 3D remake so don’t care to 100% it this time. FFV is my favourite 2D FF so I’ve been following a guide and combing everything, I even mastered two jobs (knight and monk) before heading out to walse. FFVI is amazing but I had the original steam version and didn’t realise I had to wait for shadow, didn’t and obviosuly lost him forever and I have had no motivation to go back through it. FF7 has all achievements apart from the Gil one, and before you say master all the all’s. I stupidly sold all copies bare one to make the grinding process easier to know what I had and hadn’t mastered. FFIX has way too much in for me to care about combing. FFX I’ve 100% but I wouldn’t say it was anywhere near as hard as FF13 or FF8. FFXII is my absolute favourite and I’ve 100% it multiple times. FFXIII-2 is another favourite which I have got everything apart from one fragment because I am not lucky on those damn coding bikes so gave up. FF-LR has so much time management that following a guide is so hard but playing without one means I miss so much content and it hurts my brain to leave it behind. FFXV was an amazing game blind because I just explored and explored and explored. I missed so much but I didn’t care. I did some side quests but I was content being able to defeat a few of the super bosses and calling it a day after receiving the black hood from Piteos. All in all, I agree that the 2 mainline original versions you’ve mentioned were the hardest to 100%

Congrats on that :D

The standard version of FF6 had an achievement for obtaining all of Gau's rages. Perhaps about half of the rages are missable, and there are quite a few "exactly one chance" to unlock, and even a couple which have a random chance element where even if you play perfectly, it might not unlock, and you have to reload a save. It's at 2.2% for that game, and is a requirement for the "all achievements in a single playthrough" which is 1.5% of players. All together, it took me 3 end-to-end back-to-back playthroughs to correctly find all the missables and unlock everything in a single run.

War of the Lions had a somewhat unique story, but I loved obtaining all of the unique characters and min/max faith and bravery

The jump rope in FF9 is sadistically hard. I can do jump rope better irl than on that awesome game. I tend to ignore that challenge as not mandatory for 100% completion and just do everything else even the other mini games to.

I was feeling very confident with my Final Fantasy expertise but I haven't done a single one of these, guess I still have a long way to go

I think one that is not hard but very tedious is in Final Fantasy III 3D Remake on Steam. "Jack of all Trades" - "Attain level 99 with all jobs for all characters", 28 job classes for all 4 characters (If I have remebered that correctly). Tedious in the sense that you had to go into a fight and guard at least 4 - 5 times with everyone to get 1 job level. On Steam only 2.1% of players have earned this achievement, including myself (tooting my own horn) :)

Never thought their were achievements in FF series that was hard or can never be finished that was quite interesting. I know you can get some by grinding but that would take a lot of time.

I've played FF9 on every console it's been released on and I have done EVERYTHING. Except for that bloody jump rope mini game. 20+ years and I've never bested it, it'll haunt me till the day I die!

I usually don't care about achievements because not only I am an old school gamer, but because some of these games of today, specially fighting games have some hard achievements only obtainable in online modes. But I dare to say that defeating Proto-Babil on FFIV for NDS (have to play PC version yet) was one of the greatest things I loved to do on a Final Fantasy game! I only took 2 years since, at that time, I found playing a second play through kind of boring, thanks to that augments thing and strategy for the fight involving them, but ending that almost 1 hour fight (as I remember), was really cool! Someday I plan to play the PC version. And I'll try this again for sure! About FFXV "Return of the Founder King", I thought it would be hard, but it wasn't hard at all. There are some tutoriais on what to do, like using "safety helmet" for example. I have an unlisted vídeo on my other chanel where I am getting this achievement. The worst part is having to play this entire DLC on easy mode again for some 1 hour and a half at risk of failure. I saved the game only in the lab to take a breath and then before entering the castle... But I remember I got this achievement on a first, or second try. Here's the link (nevermind the title, it was a raw title I gave to it after recording and was lazy to rename it, and I disabled the pop-up notification for the achievement while on game too): kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4uEu85vl6XHdLQ.html Now, about those rare, boring and stupid, online achievements on games, talk about games from another franchise for example, like "win a streak of 10 ranked fights" on Mortal Kombat XL... I had won already 80 fights on ranked, I was already tired of the game, and it was hard, why would I bother with an 10 streak win sequence and having to backup save files to erase it and copy then again after each time I lose a fight? NO WAY! I may not be good enough to win 10 times in a row, but even if I was, it was boring to even think om trying! 😅

FFX-2 HD Remaster was bundled with FFX HD, so there’s probably a lot of people who have purchased the game but not played much - or at all. For the Tonberry Treasure 0,6% essentially means that 0,6% of those who bought FFX did this X-2 achievement - they’re actually on the same achievement list on Steam. Defeating the boss of Chapter 1 in X-2 is a ’rarer’ achievement (9,7%) than beating FFX (17,8%) - beating chapter 2 of X-2 (6,3%) is ’rarer’ than dodging 200 Lightning (8,8%) in a row in FFX. TL;DR: Tonberry Treasure is rare but not due to difficulty and doesn’t deserve to be #1.

Whenever people talk about the trophies from XIII I’m always surprised no one brings up Treasure Hunter. Just trying it is confusing do to the weapon tiers. And money is so minuscule in XIII that the GRIND takes forever. I used the Vanille Uses Death on Admatortoise Until It Dies then Make Her Utilmate Weapon Then Dismantle It Many Times Because It Breaks Down Into MUCH More Then It Cost to Make It strategy from the official strategy guide.

10:46 EXP isn't forced by random encounters, however this was also the first game in the series that granted experience for participation in a fight, not only for being on your feet at the end of it.

7 day survivor is hard for the wrong reasons, it doesn't really test your skill but more of your patience on a system notorious for freezing and overheating at that 10 hour mark. Hardest achievement I know of and gotten personally was completing KH 1 Remix on proud mode without restarting/dying (It's the trilogy that got released on Xbox One). Don't know if they fixed it/patched it, but the way it was coded you couldn't get K.O.'d at all, the second that slo-mo happened it counted as a "restart" so you had to start the game from the beginning all over again. And this is KH 1 proud mode, so there was crits happening left right and center with no safety net until mid-game when you could get second wind that would let you survive. And it REALLY REALLY hammered home just how daunting the final boss rush was.

As a FF8 lover. Beating it with a level 1 Squall isn't hard. It's extremely time consuming.

i wouldn't see how it's more time consuming to a regular playthrough, unless it's a first playthrough. converting cards into powerful spells and items in early game are the key here. the rest is just optimal junctioning to quistis, zell, rinoa or irvine throughout the game since you will mostly one shot everything anyways. of course a bit luck is involved since you'd need at least one hero and an aura stone for ultimecia which aren't guaranteed drops from either seifer or the aliens on ragnarok

@@km-js7ws It's much more time consuming because he can't be used in anything other than boss fights. Winning and converting cards isnt necessary for any other playthrough style unless your a Completionist. You have to take special care in that play through. Anything else you don't have to much worry. Auras you can farm. Im a Completionist and typically I can get 100 auras on each character. If you know how to do it they're guaranteed. For me it would absolutely be much more time consuming to beat it with a level 1 squall. Unless you leave his dead and beat it with the other 5 level 100s then no it wouldn't be haha.

you can't beat the game at level 1 with draw considering his default starting level is 7 just like clouds starting level.

you just have to be careful of not leveling laguna since Squall and laguna level are linked :D beside that you use the No combat from diablos and you run to the end of the game.

I have "It's all in the cards III"! I didn't even realise how difficult it was, I guess I just love tetra master

I wish you looked at the PlayStation and Xbox achievement percentages as I think that shows a better population for the achievement and trophy hunters.

​@@RossMitchellsProfile Because that shiny platinum just looks better

I only platinum ff13. Loved the wallpaper unlocks.

I have the Final Fantasy XIII and X-2 ones. I didn't realize they were that rare

While not hard, one tedious achievement I found was in FF15: Pocket Edition, namely the final achievement anyone would get which involved unlocking all 65 ability nodes. While I don't know if any exploits have been found, upon release of the game it had taken me roughly 30 hours to finish the achievement set, with this final one taking roughly 18 additional hours of grinding the final stage again and again.

protobabel is a great one, worth doing, ffIV is such a great game!

I actually obtained the ardyn dlc trophy for ffxv on ps4. You basically have to not get hit and destroy everything you can before going into the final boss of the dlc. It took me about 4-5 replays of the dlc to get the trophy.

Can you do more Character Orgins videos? Love to see Kain from 4 or any character from 5, please and thank you

All these achievements are much rarer than the stated percentage because this is Steam we're talking about. About 1% of players SAM their achievements on Steam. You can see this when games just come out and certain achievements are literally impossible because they take hundreds of hours (or the achievement is even bugged and impossible). Won't stop about 1% of the audience from having it in 24 hours after a game comes out.

Ooo I got the L’Cie Paragon trophy back on PS3! Ah the not so fond memories

I gotta be honest, I've 100% everything in Final Fantasy XV. All the updates and DLCs. Yes, that includes Ardyn's Episode. The Return of the Founder King trophy was tough, but I personally wouldn't say it was that difficult. I think the hardest trophy for me was the freaking A New Protagonist trophy in Episode Ignis where you have a "friendly" match with Noctis. Holy S**t! If anyone knows that trophy achievement, it's a freaking nightmare! It took me an entire month or 2 to finally get it. I stayed up on a Sunday night until it was 5am lol I worked my ass off for that trophy. Why did I work so hard for it, even though I already platinumed the game? Because I personally really loved Final Fantasy XV! I love the game so much, it deserves to be at 100% on my trophy list. Yeah, it's not a perfect game. Hell, it's not even my favorite Final Fantasy game. But I still enjoyed it.

Proud achiever of 2 trophies on this list! (Have the plats for 13 and 9... as well as 7, 7R, 8, 13-2, 15, Type-0, and Stranger of Paradise... but those weren't a big deal)

I’m on my way to get the Stranger of Paradise plat myself, but haven’t gotten anywhere close in any other game. I think it might be one of the easiest and most straight-forward Final Fantasy Platinums lol

I haven't done any of these...but then again, I've never been concerned with getting achievements in games.

13 is the only one i've completed 100%. So much fun getting there! Also, the original version of ff8 on pc doesn't have achievments.

I love how y'all used footage from BlueAnkylo he got me into the solo runs hardcore

If achievements actually mattered and gave you something useful, I bet way more people would unlock them.

The FF achievements I lament the most are the FFXI level 75 achievements.... because I played before Wings of the Goddess, it would be trivial to get them now, but I feel the moment has passed.

I did the jump rope from the original FF9. But replaying the remaster I couldn't for the life of me do it again.

Chocobo 0:0:0 race, 1000 jump rope, and 200 dodged lightning. Last one was until I finally got it Nov 18th 2023. I think tonberry's treasure was easy as I got it one my first run to the top.

Out of these I've just gotten the Tonberry treasure in FFX-2 which I platinumed, and XIII which I platinumed twice.

These games are just more fun without achievements. Just enjoyed the minigames in VII-X for what they are. In XIII I considered it complete when I did all the Cie’th Stones at any rating and could kill all the larger monsters on Pulse. Currently enjoying XIII-2 and will get all the fragments then consider it completed.

4:37 what's rhat music? I'm sure it's from FF9 but I can't remember.

I've done the final fantasy 8 achievement......on ps1 that is. I've also done 100% save files on 7 and 10 in Steam but those aren't too difficult compared to the achievements this video mentioned.

I have the platinums on every FF main non-mmo game except 9. That jump rope can go to hellllllllllll. I did it as a kid and I refuse to do it again 😂

All of them as I don’t hunt actively for archievements

I have knocked out the trophies on 7 and 8 but never 9.

I have beat FF8 so many times over the last 20+ years. I never level anyone up past lvl 10 until the very end when I just do it just for perfectionism.

personally would say the X-2 tonberry chamber one is more due to ppl not liking the gamemode at all, i actually have the achievment and di it in my first and only run to the very top, its mainly just RNG to get the secret room items, the rooms you can save scum and the fight aint thaaaat tuff, considering there is a fairly easy way to be litterally immune to damage (as long as its dealt from in front of you that is)

I did the no level up ff8 challenge. Turns out its not a challenge when all the bosses are low level, low hp and not having some of their attack, while we use junction and cards to make magic making you over powered even against normal or high level bosses

Hardest achievement I ever had in FF didn’t have a trophy for it at the time. Getting Excalibur 2 on PAL without FMV skips, not ps2 double disc speed or any other glitches. Hardest thing I’ve ever done and all I have to show for it is a photograph 😂

Legit. Photographs are the true achievement hunter's "trophy." This digital age is eventually going to disappear into the abyss, along with record of said achievements! And for most of these young people with their congratulatory self pats on the back mentality.. I've beaten more games than you've played. What?

I've done a no leveling game in ff8. It was on PS1.

I'm actually surprised that the achievement for ff8 is so rare since it's not really all that hard to do if you know the mechanics of the game and how to cheese your way through. You can get OP before you even reach dollet without leveling up once with squall, just gotta farm some fish for 6 ap each with quistis till quetzacotl learns card mod, then play some triad and convert the rare cards into really powerful items and spells, that way you can probably one shot all of the bosses till disk 3 (even unoptimized mind you since there are chances to get douple, triple, flare and ultima right after you can move around wih the garden) then optimal atk junction onto zell, rinoa or irvine throughout the story, get yourself cactuar with kamikaze to deal massive damage beyond 9999 on optimal hp junction for your main character to one shot 99% of the bosses for the last portion of the game. Then hope that one of the seifer battles drop hero for the final fight with ultimecia and that one of the aliens on the ragnarok drop an aura stone, ideally you want to give both to irvine to cheese the final battle with his ammo and you don't whipe on her.

I completed the FF13 Cieth Stones without the Gold Watch. But I did it on the original PS3 version, not Steam. It certainly took a while for the last 3 or 4 on the list.

I have been through all of the grind and pain to get all FF trophies and in spin offs. Even on games without platinums. It was a few year journey. Lol

I have gotten them all on Steam, so I don't know what you are talking about. Only missing FF7R right now, but that is being worked on soon.

Oh wow i didnt realize the L'Cie Paragon achievement was so low for completed glad i got it when i did i don't think i could do it again haha.

contrived finish explanation had some errors in it. you can dodge all exp. forced fights can be carded, except the human soldiers (esthar, seed, etc) but they can be stoned. you can go through the entire game without anyone levelling up aside from the temp characters like seifer and edea.

For me it was getting the lion heart sword in ff8 on disc one by playing those ridiculous card games 🤪

Hey FFU, any thoughts on doing one of these videos but just focusing on FFXIV? Though I suppose that a majority of them would probably just be pvp or fishing achievements... >.>

Well the mobile version of FF6 was taken down iirc, but getting all 253 Rages on Gau would take a hell of a long time and would need a guide.

The contrived finish one is probably the sensible way to play FF8 anyway. Even keeping all chars at starting levels is easy enough in my opinion.

I got the the Platinum trophy for the seeing every Concurrence in FF12 that is supposedly so hard to get but I actually did by accident without even realizing it was an achievement.
