... yeah I'll probably never boot it up again unironicallyCongrats on the weapon you'll never use because you already have the Platinum!
And because Lulu isn't a good character in combat.
I hate being anywhere from 1-3 trophies to done. My OCD can't handle it. I'm tackling some other FF trophies in the meantime and will come back to it. I guess at least I get two plats from it but they're the bane of my existence.I ain't got no tips for that one sadly! Watched a video and it looks suitably awful, so... yeah.
I am proud to say that this game is now 100%! It was a bit of a wild ride to get that last trophy.
Getting to lvl 50 is the worst trophy because it's a lot of mindless grinding the same exact area for hours. The rest of the game is more interactive and more fun, but some of the missions are a pain in the ass to get gold in -- especially if there's some long-ass intro scene with minutes of horse riding before any actual action. There's enough easy missions to get the platinum without much stress, but if you're like me and want to 100% the game, you'll be in for some pain.
If it's anything like the Xbox side of things, there are a surprisingly large amount of people that keep an extensive library tucked away just for impromptu boosting sessions and short-notice server closure announcements. The downside to this end of things is that, as far as I can tell, there isn't really a good central hub - nothing remotely like TrueAchievements (and their Boosting Session feature, which is a godsend), or really even OG X360A's more ad-hoc forum approach. So you've got like two large-ish hubs, Reddit, various per-game dedicated Discord servers... I can certainly see it being possible to round up big groups, but a massive pain in the ass.
Shit like this is the bane of my existence, Assassin's Creed in particular immediately springs to mind.
It just blows my mind that, with everything people know about game design by now, these simple BASIC mistakes keep being made.Shit like this is the bane of my existence, Assassin's Creed in particular immediately springs to mind.
Armored Core 6 right now as well in a roundabout way, insofar that end-of-mission report with the ranking award doesn't have a "replay mission" option so you have to sit through 2 unnecessary load times per attempt.
If everything was as snappy and to the point as, say, N/+/++ or Super Meat Boy, I would be quite happy.
That's seriously impressive, wow.I don't mind collectable trophies. I think the ones that are like "collect 90% of whatever" are nice and pretty forgiving to most players, even if I tend to 100% anyway.
You'll appreciate this: I 100% finished the alchemy and the familiar book in Ni No Kuni
This is why I always look up trophy guides now. I don't like having to go through a game again, or restart huge sections just because of one dumb missable. Still, I prefer these over "do repetitive thing 200 times" trophies because of how mind-numbing they are. Ni No Kuni was a lot of that -- finished a good few podcasts while grinding random shit out
Yeah I'd take those over the repetitive bullshit too, mainly cause the gameplay is NOT engaging.
There's also PSNProfiles but I find that almost every single boosting session says that the date/time is just a placeholder. I find that doesn't work because (1) you don't even know what timezone the people that you are signing up to play with are in, and (2) without a definitive time/date, things tend to fizzle and not happen. If people stuck to the date/time, it would work a lot better.
Nah:
It seems to be one of those things where you're good at it or you're not.. I very clearly fall into the not category and no other trophy gave me an issue.
Sounds about right, and completely agreed on the annoying and serves no purpose thing. This is a good list:
...I can rag on Square, and specifically Final Fantasy, all fucking day. Enter FF14's Palace of the Dead - a kinda-sorta rogue-like mode inside a tab-target, 2.5 global cooldown MMORPG with dubious server refresh rate and spotty connection issues. Climb 200 floors of this solo, without dying or disconnecting once, with the added caveat that most jobs do not have the ability to do this legitimately without exploiting because the content released as a 4-person challenge mode and the solo in-game achievement was added in after the fact with zero testing and it being entirely possible that it was never truly attainable. A single job was the only one viable for it for the longest time, and only with immense amounts of luck and a decent amount of skill.
Yeah, PSNProfiles and PlayStationTrophies both came to mind. The lack of session functionality really hurts; doing things on a nebulous honor system is usually awful unless there's a massive glut of people to draw from.
Shh, I wasn't going to tell him that that minigame is 100% just one of the old modes from Theatrhythm.
Underrated pun
See and I love when games toss in mini games and convert those into trophies. But some of these are just absurd.Sounds about right, and completely agreed on the annoying and serves no purpose thing. This is a good list:
Original game had tons of fun(ny) easter eggs, let's turn those into trophies in addition to some bog standard stuff.Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Trophies

...yeah, they really went off the deep end with their shit with trophies. I recently decided I want to try to wrap up the plat for all the single player FF games.. but, IX feels unlikely.
Woo, congrats! I feel like if I wait until the weekend to update this you're somehow going to be ahead of Spiner at this rate.
), barring maybe some sort of tomfoolery? Not sure. XV's a weird game for me in that I don't hate it as much as XIII and XIV, and instead - despite having done everything at least twice over - just constantly have the nagging sensation that I never finished the game.

I'm currently only 5 trophies away for the base game so it shouldn't be too bad. Again, mostly mini games lol. Mastering the 4 "life" skills and oddly enough doing a summon.
It's probably one of my least fav FFs, I haven't even touched the DLC.XV's a weird game for me in that I don't hate it as much as XIII and XIV, and instead - despite having done everything at least twice over - just constantly have the nagging sensation that I never finished the game.
I've never done the jump rope. It was the worst.
Fair enough. And it happens with that game. Once it fades and gets faster it's tough. But once it's at it's peak, it's easier to be in rhythm. I think I got either 49 or 51 (once was my squats number the other pull ups). I was happy it didn't take me forever to platinum that game. I hope part 2 doesn't have a challenge like that tied to achievements though.
If you make use of the exploit, at least everything is entirely in your control with dodging lightning. Can just sit under the tower and only run towards the crater when you're fully rested and zoned in. Actually counting to 200 should be the worst of it!
Ostensibly Rebirth will have some or all of the Gold Saucer on top of being at least partially Open World? So good luck not having an assortment of really awful trophies included.
I only play FF10 on PC now. So I just script the fuck outta that.If you make use of the exploit, at least everything is entirely in your control with dodging lightning.
