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.

Great video! I'll probably try for the Pixel Remakes first, thanks for the heads up!

Since the 13 trilogy is my favorite i was so adamant about getting all 3 platinums on both PS3 and Steam :D now im working on NT cause i just got 15s base platinum.

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

I was on a bit of a platnum journey and got 7, 8, 9, and 10. Agree with your rankings on those. 9 was a nightmare and I put 150 hours on my playthrough of 10. Started X-2, but I think I had burnt myself out by then. Maybe I'll go back and finish it one day.

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.

Hey i started working my way through this last year. i have the majority, currently working through ffx2 and ff14 (ps4), i would be down to help with NT as that is one i have been working on as well inbetween other titles. i got ff13-2 an dlightning retuns back in the day but will need to dig up my ps3 for original 13. great list, really enjoyed watching it. Chocobo dungeon being taken of ps+ also killed my run, i was maybe 40% through it lol

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'm currently going through the mainline final fantasy games and get all the platinum trophies. Currently on FF X, getting the sphere grid maxed out right now.

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

i was so pissed i missed the Trine Enemy skill in FF7 blocking materia overlord

dodging 200 lightning bolts isn't too difficult once if you know where the sweet spot on the map to trigger a guaranteed lightning strike is. The Chocobo racing minigame however is downright just designed wrong. Had me up till 3:00AM with those jank ass hitboxes, RNG, and camera angle transitions that mess up your directional inputs. Whoever designed that needs to be banished to tend to the fields on the moons of Jupiter.

I 100% agree with the ffx chocobo racing, I've never had a hard time with it, just tedious. Miscounting lightning strikes however.... I followed a damn guide for X-2s story trophy and still had to start a new game cause I somehow got 99%.

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.

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).

I play FFXIV on computer primarily but if I loaded up on the PS5 would I instantly get all the trophies from having the stuff completed on PC? Or would I have to play through everything again on the PS5?

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.

Currently working on this goal myself in order of original release, so I’ve only just finish IV cause I’m platinum’ing other games too like assassin’s creed. Personally I plan to do all trophies like XIV’s stuff.

It's a fun journey, and a long one too! Good luck!

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.

Type-0 was such a fun and easy to do Platinum. It only took me 1 and a half playthroughs to platinum. Please check it out for those who haven't played it. It's so fun.

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.

I never played NT (although I do own it) but I loved the original on PSP. I'd be down to try and grind some trophies.

Also im doing the 10000 enemies on 9 manually. I scripted the jumprope so i felt i needed to lol

the ps5 trophies for 14 are actually insane there's so much stuff on there that most people wont even get close to during normal gameplay its absurd just how time consuming it is and how out of your way you have to go for it, i have almost 6000 hours on 14 and i wouldnt have the platinum if i played it on ps5

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 😅

FF7R is the most difficult trophy I have, and I've done 9,10, 10-2, WoFF, and Type-0. FF7R combat really tests my reflexes even with tactical mode, and Hard mode has some pretty intense resource management for the final gauntlet of bosses. Definitely deserves to be higher on the list than "moderate"

In 15 I never camped out and always went to a place for more exp. Which meant at the end I had to just go out kill some mobs then make camp to increase the camping skill. Don't be like me, the extra xp really isn't worth the extra time. Lol

I platinum FFIX not too long ago... I used remote play and wrote a script for inputs to get both 10,000 kills and do the jump rope.

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

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

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.

i platinum'd FFX, and my god the freaking grind you have to sibject yourself to, MAKE SURE you pick expert sphere grid for easier time, cuz if memory serves expert only have around 750 nodes you have to fill in, whereas standard has over 800, and you have to do it for all 7 chars (thank god for tonberry)

OG FF7 ; the movers only award AP, up to 7200 in triple growth weapons. The magic pots award up to 8k, more with exp plus.

Rebirth is definitely Ultima tier. That shit is brutally difficult

FF9 is also my favorite FF entry (aside from FFT), but during the era when trophies didn't even exist, as a completionist myself I couldn't be bothered with obtaining Excalibur II & that atrocious jumping rope mingame.

An FFT enjoyer is a friend of mine! Just need that remaster to happen so we can plat that, right?!

Glad to see my prediction was right. (I predicted FF9 would be in the hardest tier). Absolutely brutal game to platinum.

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.

I have all of these platinums bar DIssidia, Chocobo, Fishing, XV Pocket and WoFF, as well as two trophies away from 14's PS5 list i own them all (cept fishing for same reasons as you) just haven't got round to doing them or in Dissidia's case no one to play with lol

Josephyr: "Final Fantasy IX is my favorite Final Fantasy." Me: Subscribe But really I do like your tier list. I like to hunt trophies too but that Jump rope minigame...

Wow as someone who went back and got the FFX platinum a few years back I definitely didn’t feel like it was that difficult - just grindy. FFX-2 however 💀💀

i havent gotten as far yet in ffiv however if it has the siren item and its the same as other interations of the game you can use it on one of the southern most lands in the underworld and get green dragons i forget where you can do the same for yellow dragons however

I was actually able to platinum FF X not to long ago and it was literally my second platinum for a ff game ever

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

Def 9, 12 and 15. 9 for the 1000 jump ropes; 12for obvious reasons like the 100 trials battle and optional postgame dungeons and 15 for ff15 comrades which was part of the main game at some point

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.

I got the Platinum for FFXIV on PS3 while it existed. I can definitely say that is much easier than the PS4 and PS5 versions. Difficulty was up to the first Coil of Bahamut. The stress was just hoping your frame rate didn't drop to single digits during the fights.

Id definitely join a Dissida NT platinum group

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

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.

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.

FFX is my favorite game and i will never be able to platinum it because i cant dodge 200 lightning strikes. My reflexes just wont let that happen

The dodge 200 lightning strikes in FF X is by far the hardest thing in the whole game. And in FF IX you have to jump the rope 1000 times.. everything else is manageable, but these 2.. damn

I've gotten the platinum trophy for some of the harder ones on the list. I dared not touch IX with a ten foot pole, mainly because of jump roping and Excalibur II. X was attempted, but it just takes so much time. Got the platinum for XIII, Type-0, WOFF, XII, XIII-2, and XIII-3, and of course VII. Don't own I-VI on PS, and frankly, hunting down trophies for games kind of killed my interest in playing them.

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.

I'm genuinely surprised Dissidia NT servers are still up.

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..

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.

FFX was actually pretty easy to platinum. The worst bit about it was grinding the sphere grid but it wasnt difficult once you levelled up the monster arena. Time consuming, yes. Difficult, no.

Ive got 1-8, 16, theatrhythm, stranger of paradise, and crisis core reunion. So like all of the easy ones...

Nothing wrong with that, Platinums are still hard work even at the easier end! Should be very proud! X

FFXIII was my very first platinum ever

Joe do you like Fire Emblem?

I do! I've recently enjoyed Engage a great deal! I struggled with 3 Houses because of the Slice of Life aspect, but have gone back and played the GBA games and really liked them :D

@@Joesephyr Same here with the GBA games. That's the golden-age of FE for me. Maybe someday you can talk about your favorite strategy games so we can hear your opinions on them, since I know FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre are also games you like :)

Same good luck 💪

I am interested in helping with Dissidia that's what I'm working on right now I have all the characters A++

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

interesting, i was on a platinum streak including FFX, FFXV and WoFF, but FFXII with tiamat and the boss rush mode was where i decided the game could f**** off

sometimes i actually do forget to like, heh. algorithm

I’m currently going for the crisis core platinum and let me tell you, those 300 missions are an absolute slog. Going through the one where you have to take down 1000 Shinra troopers almost ended me…

Well it ended Zack too so...

In my experience I found Type-0 to be fairly easy, easier than FF7-R

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

Been thinking about trophy hunting some ff games only plat three games ever. Persona 4 dancing all night dc universe online and legend of dragoon. So this list lets me know where to start thanks. Also thank you I knew there had to be others that couldn't stand woff. Honestly it's the main characters that kill it for me. They made them so freaking stupid. They are like miracle and lymle are for you

Am doing pixel right now on ff6 right now then replay finish 7 n 7 remake n so on thank

I have the platinum for FFX and Type-0 and I kind of disagree with their ranking. Type-0 for me would be in the Easy category and FFX in Hard. I would also put FFXII in Hard just because of the Mist Walker trophy, that shit is a real pain in the ass. Other than that I completely agree with you.😊
