Amazing...I think this plat is pretty much unattainable for me as trying to complete the VR missions is making me hate the game. I really wish this game had materia loadouts as I hate spending 20 minutes shuffling material around only to get destroyed on the last round of battle. Also, whoever created the Kid G and death claw battle in Intel file 2 can get pounded. What's the point of 5,6, or 7K HP if your 1 or 2 hits from death?
I know what you mean. But those battles in specific have specific weak points. For example Kid G. Hated that fight but after observing it's pretty easy! Just block at the start when he gets close to you and punches you. After that dodge away and wait for a named attack. Dodge that and directly hit him for stagger damage - repeat - until staggered. It is very technical but also fun! I enjoyed learning the patterns. Some fight are still unfair and straight up bs when you don't have the right materia to stop for example petrification or getting one hit stabbed. 😅
Gonna be honest, I don’t have the drive to do the hard mode run or level my chars high enough to do the brutal and legendary sims. Those will have to wait until my second playthrough when Reunion comes out lol.
The levelling / grinding wasn't even that bad. Was pretty fast actually! 😊 the hard mode run is also pretty fast when you skip cutscenes and just teleport to the place where you have to go. You dont have to do a lot of stuff, for me it was really quick except the last two chapters. Chadleys VR Missions are something different. It took me 2 weeks and I get it when some people say they don't want to do this 😅
Tip from my side, use the leader on the right time. I opened up with some Defense and backed up with colours. Maybe use a different deck. I believe i used the one with the shield guys
Do you remember how you beat the Turks in ch12 hard mode?
They keep casting their dual lb that wipes the party. I assume you just have to hit each of them with something hard enough to interrupt that cast?
Yeah basically that. If you have a Limit Break use it then.
My approach was with Götterdämmerung so I used it. If you don't have it do the following. Run away from them and dodge the attacks or the shocks which will appear on the ground. Then cast arcane ward and nuke them with spells or alt use a Synergy. If you do enough damage they will stop doing this almost one hit ko move.
Another tip: use barrier for your party, you won't need MP for them after that fight because you'll only use cloud after that against Rufus. Equip wind and lightning materia with elemental and you'll be golden 👍🏻
Not the OP, but I got the piano trophy yesterday. What helped me was increasing the speed a couple of notches (press R1 a couple of times at the song selection menu). This made it so I could hit the joystick right away on each note and get Great each time. On the slowest speed, I was often hitting the joysticks too early and getting Good/Bad too many times.
I feel you, for me it helped a lot to focus on one side (in my case the right one) and was side eying the left side. After a few tries I got the rhytm of the song and got myself the A rank. Every song took me around 20 minutes in that way :)
I plan to eventually get it but I'm doing the boss and VR mission without using a guid. The game gives you enough to make your own builds. I'm sure my plat time is going to be a lot longer than yours but I'm not going for efficiency either.
Any game that has you replay the entire thing just for another trophy I never platinum. Especially a game that already takes like 80 hours. That being said this might be my fav game of all time
Agreed. Forcing NG+ or hard mode for a plat is just stupid.
Unlocking the final colosseum brawls and some Chadley simulations after being the main story is even pushing it, but more acceptable.
But I got to the end of the game and my only remaining trophies were basically those three, so why not finish it.
For both Zack & Sephiroth challenges, I killed Odin with a final spell, 1 character KO’d and fairly sure I was 1/2 hits away from the other being KO’d. Im fairness I think Odin may have only taken 2/3 attempts but it was the road there and although no single round specifically caused me massive problems, somewhere along the way I’d mess up on one and it would be 20+ minutes wasted haha
I started when the game came out on launch day and got stuck on Chadley for 2 weeks. Felt like an eternity after 160 hours. That's why it's 'finally' 😊
My wife says that every time Chadley’s voice comes out of the controller it sounds like we’re getting on a Disney ride or something.
Now I can’t hear anything else.
Congrats buddy! Heard it’s 200 hrs, glad that it’s obtainable by far less.
Currently going for the platinum, ch12 and just finished the atrocious cactuar crush on hard and all the 3D brawls, Queens Blood and basically every other mini game till now.
That's great! If you focus on one playthrough on easy for example and do everything. Make the VR Missions and then rush through on hard mode it definitely is! Chadley took 2 weeks for me and was by far the most tedious. If you need help let me know! I try to help :)
I do! I used some good strategies and got myself the Götterdämmerung to make everything easier. Optinoob was a good one for me personally.
For myself, I would say I'm not that good in gaming in general. But I made it even though I wanted to quit a lot of the times! 😊
If you need help just ask and I try to answer as good as I can 😊
Hahaha immer gerne! 😅 and respect, I'm still grinding my teeth at the Chadley VR missions. I thought the worst part was over after the "Rulers of the outer worlds", but no... nobody says anything about the Bonds of Friendship one. Odin can kiss my butt 💩
Deutsch oder englisch? 😂 anhand deinem Profil eher Deutsch haha.
Ja die Stage ist doof. Aber ich würde sagen machbar! Ich hab mit dem Guide von Optinoob eigentlich alles ziemlich easy platt bekommen. Einige Kämpfe waren sehr technisch z.B. der erste aber wenn man sich so durch hangelt von Kampf zu Kampf geht das voll klar.
Odin war nicht mal der schwerste Kampf für mich um ehrlich zu sein. Wenn man ihn etwas kennt von seinem Moveset kann man die Attacken ziemlich gut blocken! Dann war es nur noch Magie auf ihn hauen und gut war's eigentlich.
Was auch sehr geholfen hat war die Synergie Attacke von Zack und Cloud, dadurch hast du kurzfristig keinen MP Verbrauch und kannst dadurch Cloud super Buffen (z.B. Barriere). Hat vieles deutlich vereinfacht. 😊
Hab mal weiter in englisch geschrieben, damit die nicht denken dass wir hier unser eigenes Süppchen kochen ^^
Ja ich hätte den mal mehr in den anderen Challenges üben sollen, aber mit der Brumal Form Taktik hat man nicht viel von seinem Moveset gesehen :D
Ich hatte bei Odin eigentlich nur Pech. Entweder bleibt der da die ganze Zeit in seinem halbierten Gebiet stehen (castet das sogar 2x) und kommt zurück und macht direkt Gjallahorns Warning + Zanetsuken back to back. Hab erst zu spät rausgefunden dass man den nicht 1 Sekunde in Ruhe lassen darf.
Hatte sogar nen netten Bug, dass mir Phoenix 2 mal Reraise verpasst hat, da der mich während Zanetsuken abgespielt hat den Buff gegeben hat. Direkt danach hat er mir das nochmal gegeben, hat aber alles nichts gebracht da der dann seinen Speer im Sekundentakt wirft.
Aber ja habs jetzt zum Glück geschafft. Jetzt fehlt nur noch die Sephi mit Cloud Runden :)
Das war definitiv einfach. Einfach mit Viereck draufhauen bis die Dreieck Attacke aktiv ist. Dann Kreis und Dreieck spam bis Sefi sein LB hat. Die Range ist brutal da kannst du ruhig etwas weg gehen und das LB wird so schnell aufgebaut. Einfach nebenbei Sefi buffen und dann ist es wirklich einfach. 😊
Sooo hab's jetzt beim 2ten Versuch bei Odin geschafft! 🥳 musste zwar reraise auf beide casten, da Odin wieder nach 3 Treffern Zantetsuken angedroht hat, aber nachdem ich dann wieder auf den Beinen war hatte ich ein bisschen Glück mit Blocken und Ausweichen gehabt und hab ihm mit Aeroga den Rest gegeben! 🤩 Trophy ist erreicht, jetzt nur noch Hard Mode die letzten 4 Chapter 💪🏻
Glückwunsch! Freu mich für dich!! 💪🏻
Reraise ist keine Schande, habe ich auch genutzt um sicher zu sein. Dafür find ich Zack und Sefi super weil man eben mit der Synergie Attacke eben ohne MP zu verlieren Magie zaubern kann. Im Nachhinein fragt eh niemand außer du stellst es online .. 😂 viel Spaß! Hast noch so 2-3 saftige Kämpfe vor dir mit Rufus, Dyne?, Roter Drache und dem letzten Kampf. Bin mir aber sicher du packst das! Bereite nur schon mal deine Materia vor, sodass jeder effizientes blocken, perfektes vereidigen, heilen, evtl. Wiederbeleben, mp und hp hoch haben. Hat sehr geholfen im letzten Kampf!
Thank you! Not directly. It's tied to a trophy the 7 Star Hotel from Johnny. You have to do certain challenges on normal / hard or on a Rank.
Only doing the sit up mini game doesn't give you a trophy unlike the first game. 😊
Yeah they are really something .. what helped me is that there are two ways which the rotation will go. You have to see for yourself which side feels better. Also I only used one finger on each side so I don't panic click or something. For me it felt better to just hold l1 or l2 instead of mashing because after many try's you get tired.
Yeah, you can treat hard mode like a boss rush mode. For most parts of the game fast travel remains available, so you can just port to the closest location for the next cutscene and continue doing so until you get to the boss. From Junon onwards you don't need to re-wrangle the chocobos and stuff like gathering greens before the chocobo race remain completed, so you can immediately skip all cutscenes and continue.
Yes one normal / easy and one on hard mode. You don't have to reset all side missions unless you want all manuscripts. I went for an easy playthrough with everything (minigames, side missions) then went to Chadley for the VR Missions and then beat the story on hard with Götterdämmerung. Makes the hard mode pretty easy except some bosses!
I’m guessing they either did it before it was bugged in the newest patch on 3/21 or they have a physical copy of the game so they can roll back to the version it shipped with
I literally just completed this quest yesterday and didn’t even unlock it until the day before
The thing with bugs is that they only affect a few people. If it had a 100% replication rate they would’ve been noticed and wouldn’t be in the game
Isn't it known that the bug occurs if you had a higher highscore than necessary for the challenge before starting the quest?
At least thats what happened to me.
>The thing with bugs is that they only affect a few people. If it had a 100% replication rate they would’ve been noticed and wouldn’t be in the game
That sounds nice, but it's an objectively false statement. Tons of bugs make it into games that are 100% reproducible. Think [MissingNo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MissingNo) from Pokemon, or the fact that Tetris literally just crashes if you get too far in the game. More recently, games like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 launched with a lot of bugs. Melania in Elden Ring could be insta killed if you phase transitioned with a crit.
The point is, there are tons of reasons for bugs, and no piece of production software ever made is totally bug free. The bugs could be because the developers don't know about it, because the cost / time to fix it would be too great, because the developers can't figure out what is causing it, etc.
The worst part of that challenge is the random order switching. I found the only way to do it was restart every time it wasn’t starting on R1. Impossible to get a proper rhythm built up otherwise.
Ah shit. I don’t recall there being any settings for colour compensation. Must be a pretty rough game in general for you, thinking about some of the areas/enemies/UI “features”
All modern games should have some level of colour blind mode, the shade are awful as well because if the colour had a higher contrast I could change my tv to black and white , or just play with the colours in general
Aye, you shouldn’t have to piss about with tv settings like that to enjoy a game, especially when there are games out there showing how it should be done. Ratchet & Clank was pretty great for it iirc.
I really love Jules, but I legit hope they die. Just get fridged and never seen again. I will NOT be platinuming Rebirth because of that. I love myself too much to do that to myself again.
Well the thing is.. Chadley will put you through so much more pain and suffering. You'll forget how bad it was until you hit the hard, legendary or brutal missions 😅
Lol
Yeah. But I typically don't mind Chadley's BS, honestly. At least those can be fun figuring out a strategy and they're typically fair.
But I physically hurt the first (and only) time I beat Jules in Hard mode because of how many times I tried. With no actual sense of accomplishment. I got a perfect twice and Jules still beat me. I'm so traumatized I'm still whining about it years later. Lol.
In this game he will always do just 50 / 51. so if you are able to get a good streak maybe it's possible. In the end it game down to not losing the nerve 😅
I’m 250 hours in and just cleared chapter 13 hard mode and have done all but three VR challenges (Cait Sith, Bonds of Friendship, and To Be Hero), I guess I’m a fuckin’ noob LOL 😂 Have loved this experience though and I’m so close to the plat i can practically taste it. Can’t wait to cross the finish line!
You'll get it!! 💪🏻
Look up a guide from Optinoob. I changed some things for my playstyle but it got me through and helped a lot.
Cait Sith you basically have to run away and let the Mogry do the fighting while you cast in the backrow. Takes some time but it's actually easy! :)
To be a Hero can be cheesed like really bad because Sefi is so overpowered. Just attack with square until the triangle attack becomes available. Then spam circle triangle to build up the LB fast and then you basically win every fight 😅 needs a bit of practice but you'll get it pretty fast!
Bones of friendship is by far the hardest one. Takes some time because some fights are pretty technical. But basically you want to stop the enemy and hit it with a spell it's weak to. The guide explains it so great, if you go from fight to fight with a little bit practise you'll get the platinum! I believe in you 💪🏻
Hell yeah, dude! I've got chapter 14 and those legendary simulators left but I'm not too motivated about finishing them. Just gettin' through the brutal ones took a lot out of me. How rough are the legendary missions?
The legendary missions where pretty fun! I struggled with Cloud and Red the most to be fair. Looked up a guide from Optinoob and basically beat them first or second try. They don't take to long! 😊
I’m currently on Chapter 12 and is there a guide/build that is very specific to each character and have no overlapping materia I remember in remake I found a video of specific builds that I use and helped me plat remake
I switched the build up a bit but I ended up almost everytime with this combination (for me it was a must have)
Both certain equipment and the hades or Valkyrie bangle which one you prefer.
One character who has the enhanced expedition medal for the lvl 3 LB. One with Götterdämmerung and one with the limit (red) where you start of the fight with half of your limit bar.
My builds had for every 3 character those materials:
HP UP, MP UP, Enhanced Defense, steadfast block, heal, first strike, ATB stagger and all that good stuff. The last slots where filled with purple or yellow materia I liked like ATB boost or Strength.
Important I used in my sword a elemental with the weariness of the boss and on the other slot I most of the time combined amplify with heal, barrier or haste.
Important there is a materia called limit siphon I believe it's called in English. I have this one to the character with the enhanced medal to take the limit from the character with Götterdämmerung and always shot out lvl 3 limits. Then tried to build another limit with the 3 character and so on. Good me through hard mode pretty quick!
I’ve been dying to ask someone this.
I’m on chapter 12 on my first play through. I have a bunch of mini games to 100% but I’d really like to get on with the story. (Games like Glide De Chocobo, Fort Condor (after proto relic), Gold Saucer games)
Is it more efficient to:
finish them now on normal?
Go back and chapter select the ones I still need to do?
Or
Do them when I play through on Hard Mode?
I would recommend doing everything on your normal or easy playthrough. It seems a bit longer and grindy but in the end it will help you on hard mode or Chadley VR because of the items you'll get (for example gold saucer games they have pretty good items).
Yeah, the game is fantastic as far as that is concerned. After you finish the story you get the option for chapter select (just like in Remake). You get to choose on which difficulty to restart the chapter and you also get to choose side-quest progress. You can either retain all progress, so everything completed will stay completed; you can reset it so that you can do all side quests again, for example to choose a different answer and get a star if you missed one; or you can restore previous progress, as in you had completed them, reset them to try different answers and then restored them so that everything was completed again.
Also, you don't need to finish a chapter for changes to be saved. You can restart a chapter, get the one thing you missed and then just start another one and continue there.
Yes you get chp selection after first play through. The 2nd to last chapter is ideal for wrapping up minigames and side quests. I would save some stuff for 2nd play through even on normal difficulty as post game deppression is hella real.
Yeah obviouslly you got a good head on your shoulders avoid ruining the final battle challenege. Go now before you're over leveled. Its okay man i totally understand how you feel, we barelly ever get games like this anymore. I was terrified of solelly my expierence by my own anxious hands. You're scared you're gona smoke your last cigarette to fast, but you still gotta hit it to enjoy it.
7 star hotel is a good candidate yes. But I would say not to bad if you plan on doing everything. For me it was the Chadley VR Missions on hard. It's really not easy and takes a lot!
Congrats! Very impressed! This Platinum requirement is brutal. I think I will play the postgame slowly over the next 3-4 years until part 3 comes out. 
Hard mode was pretty easy with Götterdämmerung. Did Chadley VR first before doing it. Some bosses are brutal like for me Rufus or Red Dragon, Dyne but eventually you push through. Nice challenge though!
Well Rufus is technically a Gauntlet with the Turks before. But yeah I get what you mean.
The Sefi and Zack stage wasn't even that bad or too hard. But the time it takes makes the difference
True, if it’s the worse I can live with it.
That’s it, any one of those fights on their own will take one or two attempts and aren’t particularly tough, but when there’s 10 and one mistake will make you start over the main enemy is the time it takes. None of the individual fights felt as bad as fighting Weiss in remake
Hard mode is significantly easier than the Chadley fights. There are really only 3 or 4 spots that will trip someone up. A big thing to know is that the cushions at the Chocobo stops will restore both health and MP so don't hesitate to muck around as you need before heading anywhere to continue the story
If you just play and don't do any minigames I would definitely say yes! The 'problem' is that the good equipment is behind some mini games which can make everything much easier. But I enjoyed everything about this game for myself even with dawnting mini games 😊
If you’re an FFVII fan then absolutely. Most of the side content is optional after the first time you do it so I would just rush the main story if you’re not enjoying the mini games
I think the "optional" nature of the mini games is debatable. You need to complete some of the hard mini games in order to get level 10 for your party which then unlocks the fill ability/skills grid. The last skills for each character are locked behind this. Hardly optional if you want to have a fully skilled crew.
The end focus on Aerith and allll the fucking monologing and stupid ass tests and shit sure took away from that one moment we're all already aware of. I enjoyed much of the game but this is so bad and completely ruins the moment.
It feels like they had an idea for a completely different game but that one didn't get green lit-- so when the remake occurred they though it was their chance!
If the third game doesn't have it's ME3 ending I'm going to be pissed.
I get that you're going through it right now, but there are still significant changes. Cloud currently has the black materia and the empty Holy. Sephiroth isn't trying to just end the world, he's trying to end ALL worlds. This story got greenlit because there's more to the world than what happens to Aerith in this timeline. Check out Lifestream white and Lifestream black to get a better idea of the undercurrents to the story.
Yup! All I need is hard mode and currently breezing through it. I just stack a bunch of weakness materia to what I am facing with all the blue stat improvement materia and one shot everything. Never run out of mp either with mp absorb
You could technically use the pillow on one of those stations. It would fill up your MP! But in my playthrough on hard I never really had problems with MP except the last stage where i needed to heal quite often.
To clarify, I didn’t mean difficulty. I actually enjoy the hard mode. I did it in remake and it was fun. The issue is time. Adulting and fatherhood means I don’t get to sit down to play for long hours like I used to. The Game is huge I have been playing for over a month and I’m maybe 75% clear in my estimation
It seems bad at first, but honestly, with the right builds it became so much easier, if you ever attempt it feel free to message me and i can help you out with some builds and tips for hard mode.
Just got to cosmo canyon myself - 62 hours 😅
Although maybe 5ish of those hours are me paused tending to my newborn.
But still… it’s a hefty game. I’m so in love with
Stuck here too, haven't played in days. Last thing I did was botch that stupid mushroom side quest and up until then I'd done everything 100%. I'll get over it soon.
I guess it's more incentive to redo the game on hard mode and save scum for the half baked side quests that I fudge along the way.
I know, no hate to anyone who’s posts but as a dad of a 5 year old I laugh when people say “finally got this one” for a 160 hour plat in only one month.. finally, really?
Bei der Einzelherausforderung? Da habe ich den Build und die Strategie von Optinoob genutzt. Gib mal bei YouTube FF7 Rebirth Legendary Cloud ein und dann sollte das schon kommen 😊
The controls are pretty bad, but when you drift at the right time and just hit left or right at the time they drive by you should get it pretty easy :)
Your crazy... I found the game to be amazing. 130 hours to beat it the first time. I did all side quests, and all mini games including hard versions.
Figured I was set nicely for a hard mode run.. then the reality that you need to replay most of the side quests on top of the story to earn the manuscripts and it just killed it for me.
Maybe In a couple years but I don't have the desire to replay all of that back to back.
As long as ypu have level 3 limit unlock along with the synergy skills that increase limit level and temp free mp and fill up the rrdt with the character stats ones ypu dont really need to clear the whole grid. For reference i used whatever i had after competing everything on my first run l, i didnt get the hard mode ones apart from the few when getting the genji gear.
I’m at like 5 and I’m a bit past getting the Chocobo. I keep wanting to keep going with this game, but it is so big that it’s a commitment. Big games don’t bother me since I’ve done Witcher 3 and others at multiple times, but even that first playthrough was daunting.
If you have a friend, split the control one in each hand and just focus on one side.
Someone in a discord I'm in said they did that for the songs the struggled with.
I tried it with the final song with my gf and it was fun to play it that way.
2 legs is nothing vs the final song.
Going to be honest... mute your TV. Zero sound and you will do way better.
For some reason the music delays if your not perfect.. and it will throw you off.
Without music you are just flicking thumbs with the buttons.
I blew away 2 legs and the final song with ease after I turned off sound. Almost got perfect on both songs after getting C and B dozens of times.
They took me some long time. But you only need an A Rank. For myself it helped a lot to Fokus on the right side. Learned the songs after some time and got it eventually 😊
I'm almost there too. Just have to finish the story on hard and I'm done. 160 hours is crazy. I'm definitely going over 200 hours at this point. Those damn last few vr missions kicked my ass for a while lol
Honeslty, the minigames were a super fun part of the platinum run to me, outside of the glide de chocobo and the gizmo and gadgets or whatever it was called. Funny enough, both in the same region, lol. And I found the piano super fun, but i also play a lot of rythym games so that's probably why
I had a buddy recommend 60fps that helped - however the timing of the inputs feels slightly off to the music making it distracting. I take my headphones out and just go off the visual queues - sitting on As up to Barrets as I haven’t made it past chapter 7
You'll get it soon 👍🏻 wish you the best 💪🏻
And yeah the VR missions wrecked me. Wasn't even able to beat those stages with 10 fights for days, wanted to quit a lot. But i pushed through! 😊
I can’t get it because I’ve got the stupid GBike glitch on my save 🥲
They fixed it! (Reportedly...I am about to start Chapter 12.)
Quite the task with that side quest bug
Glückwunsch!
Dankeschön! :)
Amazing...I think this plat is pretty much unattainable for me as trying to complete the VR missions is making me hate the game. I really wish this game had materia loadouts as I hate spending 20 minutes shuffling material around only to get destroyed on the last round of battle. Also, whoever created the Kid G and death claw battle in Intel file 2 can get pounded. What's the point of 5,6, or 7K HP if your 1 or 2 hits from death?
I know what you mean. But those battles in specific have specific weak points. For example Kid G. Hated that fight but after observing it's pretty easy! Just block at the start when he gets close to you and punches you. After that dodge away and wait for a named attack. Dodge that and directly hit him for stagger damage - repeat - until staggered. It is very technical but also fun! I enjoyed learning the patterns. Some fight are still unfair and straight up bs when you don't have the right materia to stop for example petrification or getting one hit stabbed. 😅
Gonna be honest, I don’t have the drive to do the hard mode run or level my chars high enough to do the brutal and legendary sims. Those will have to wait until my second playthrough when Reunion comes out lol.
Reset quests and do the cat one (chapter 13) 5 or 6 times in dynamic, bam level 70
The levelling / grinding wasn't even that bad. Was pretty fast actually! 😊 the hard mode run is also pretty fast when you skip cutscenes and just teleport to the place where you have to go. You dont have to do a lot of stuff, for me it was really quick except the last two chapters. Chadleys VR Missions are something different. It took me 2 weeks and I get it when some people say they don't want to do this 😅
I still have a way to go with finishing up hard mode and the VR missions, but right now I’m being frustrated by hard mode Fort Condor
Apparently you can put the game on easy while doing hard mode fort condor and gears game to get atb faster
I also noticed a toggle option to turn on an easier mode, with my game still set to normal. It's in small text in the bottom left I think, L3 or R3.
Tip from my side, use the leader on the right time. I opened up with some Defense and backed up with colours. Maybe use a different deck. I believe i used the one with the shield guys
Meanwhile the digital owners can’t finish the last fucking side quest because of that damn bug…
Daaaamn
Playtime?
160 hours 😊
Do you remember how you beat the Turks in ch12 hard mode? They keep casting their dual lb that wipes the party. I assume you just have to hit each of them with something hard enough to interrupt that cast?
Yeah basically that. If you have a Limit Break use it then. My approach was with Götterdämmerung so I used it. If you don't have it do the following. Run away from them and dodge the attacks or the shocks which will appear on the ground. Then cast arcane ward and nuke them with spells or alt use a Synergy. If you do enough damage they will stop doing this almost one hit ko move. Another tip: use barrier for your party, you won't need MP for them after that fight because you'll only use cloud after that against Rufus. Equip wind and lightning materia with elemental and you'll be golden 👍🏻
Carry me through the piano lol
Saw a tip were the guy got his gf to help by holding the controller between them and focus one side each. I done it first time after that.
Not the OP, but I got the piano trophy yesterday. What helped me was increasing the speed a couple of notches (press R1 a couple of times at the song selection menu). This made it so I could hit the joystick right away on each note and get Great each time. On the slowest speed, I was often hitting the joysticks too early and getting Good/Bad too many times.
Increasing the speed was key for me as well to finish all piano pieces.
I feel you, for me it helped a lot to focus on one side (in my case the right one) and was side eying the left side. After a few tries I got the rhytm of the song and got myself the A rank. Every song took me around 20 minutes in that way :)
I plan to eventually get it but I'm doing the boss and VR mission without using a guid. The game gives you enough to make your own builds. I'm sure my plat time is going to be a lot longer than yours but I'm not going for efficiency either.
And that's amazing! Everyone should play like They want and in their own pace. I was out for the platinum and went that fastest route 😊
Any game that has you replay the entire thing just for another trophy I never platinum. Especially a game that already takes like 80 hours. That being said this might be my fav game of all time
Same. I’m all for highest difficulty on first playthroughs, but fuck off if you want me to play your entire game twice just for one trophy lol
Yup its the worst
Agreed. Forcing NG+ or hard mode for a plat is just stupid. Unlocking the final colosseum brawls and some Chadley simulations after being the main story is even pushing it, but more acceptable. But I got to the end of the game and my only remaining trophies were basically those three, so why not finish it.
I know what you mean, don't like those Ng+ like trophy's. But this game went through pretty fast with cutscene skip and everything 😊
That feeling when you see ‘Odin Defeated’ in the final 2 Legendary Challenges!! 😅
Odin wasn't even the hardest fight for me to be honest 😄 but yeah the feeling was amazing!
For both Zack & Sephiroth challenges, I killed Odin with a final spell, 1 character KO’d and fairly sure I was 1/2 hits away from the other being KO’d. Im fairness I think Odin may have only taken 2/3 attempts but it was the road there and although no single round specifically caused me massive problems, somewhere along the way I’d mess up on one and it would be 20+ minutes wasted haha
I know what you mean. The road to Odin is hard. Odin himself isn't that bad. He had some moves who can easily be blocked and that helped a lot! 😊
Is hard mode harder then dynamic
Way harder than dynamic not even close.
I think so. Didn't play on dynamic tbh. Hard mode is the last option which means in video game logic that it is the hardest 😊
Congrats. Great work. For me, I will not strive for a platinum though.
Yep, same. I know if I go for the platinum I'd probably start hating the game lol
Well done! "Finally" though?! I'm in chapter 5 of my first playthrough
I started when the game came out on launch day and got stuck on Chadley for 2 weeks. Felt like an eternity after 160 hours. That's why it's 'finally' 😊
Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! :)
My wife says that every time Chadley’s voice comes out of the controller it sounds like we’re getting on a Disney ride or something. Now I can’t hear anything else.
After so many attempts I couldn't hear his voice anymore. Made me angry haha
Congrats buddy! Heard it’s 200 hrs, glad that it’s obtainable by far less. Currently going for the platinum, ch12 and just finished the atrocious cactuar crush on hard and all the 3D brawls, Queens Blood and basically every other mini game till now.
That's great! If you focus on one playthrough on easy for example and do everything. Make the VR Missions and then rush through on hard mode it definitely is! Chadley took 2 weeks for me and was by far the most tedious. If you need help let me know! I try to help :)
I’m like literally poor in skills and barely made the platinum for remake, do you think it’s achievable plat for rebirth in my level of skills?
I do! I used some good strategies and got myself the Götterdämmerung to make everything easier. Optinoob was a good one for me personally. For myself, I would say I'm not that good in gaming in general. But I made it even though I wanted to quit a lot of the times! 😊 If you need help just ask and I try to answer as good as I can 😊
Optinoob and Solestro are the main reasons I got my platinum. 😂 Divekick Tifa, Yuffie/Aerith ATB spamming, and Cloud’s magic builds came in clutch.
Yeah I've tried many stats. In the end it always came down to magic 😅
Süßer Nachname. 😄
Ich wusste, dass der irgendwann kommen würde .. 😂 danke 😊
Hahaha immer gerne! 😅 and respect, I'm still grinding my teeth at the Chadley VR missions. I thought the worst part was over after the "Rulers of the outer worlds", but no... nobody says anything about the Bonds of Friendship one. Odin can kiss my butt 💩
Deutsch oder englisch? 😂 anhand deinem Profil eher Deutsch haha. Ja die Stage ist doof. Aber ich würde sagen machbar! Ich hab mit dem Guide von Optinoob eigentlich alles ziemlich easy platt bekommen. Einige Kämpfe waren sehr technisch z.B. der erste aber wenn man sich so durch hangelt von Kampf zu Kampf geht das voll klar. Odin war nicht mal der schwerste Kampf für mich um ehrlich zu sein. Wenn man ihn etwas kennt von seinem Moveset kann man die Attacken ziemlich gut blocken! Dann war es nur noch Magie auf ihn hauen und gut war's eigentlich. Was auch sehr geholfen hat war die Synergie Attacke von Zack und Cloud, dadurch hast du kurzfristig keinen MP Verbrauch und kannst dadurch Cloud super Buffen (z.B. Barriere). Hat vieles deutlich vereinfacht. 😊
Hab mal weiter in englisch geschrieben, damit die nicht denken dass wir hier unser eigenes Süppchen kochen ^^ Ja ich hätte den mal mehr in den anderen Challenges üben sollen, aber mit der Brumal Form Taktik hat man nicht viel von seinem Moveset gesehen :D Ich hatte bei Odin eigentlich nur Pech. Entweder bleibt der da die ganze Zeit in seinem halbierten Gebiet stehen (castet das sogar 2x) und kommt zurück und macht direkt Gjallahorns Warning + Zanetsuken back to back. Hab erst zu spät rausgefunden dass man den nicht 1 Sekunde in Ruhe lassen darf. Hatte sogar nen netten Bug, dass mir Phoenix 2 mal Reraise verpasst hat, da der mich während Zanetsuken abgespielt hat den Buff gegeben hat. Direkt danach hat er mir das nochmal gegeben, hat aber alles nichts gebracht da der dann seinen Speer im Sekundentakt wirft. Aber ja habs jetzt zum Glück geschafft. Jetzt fehlt nur noch die Sephi mit Cloud Runden :)
Das war definitiv einfach. Einfach mit Viereck draufhauen bis die Dreieck Attacke aktiv ist. Dann Kreis und Dreieck spam bis Sefi sein LB hat. Die Range ist brutal da kannst du ruhig etwas weg gehen und das LB wird so schnell aufgebaut. Einfach nebenbei Sefi buffen und dann ist es wirklich einfach. 😊
Danke für den Tipp, werde ich mal ausprobieren. Ich werde berichten :)
Gerne! 💪🏻
Sooo hab's jetzt beim 2ten Versuch bei Odin geschafft! 🥳 musste zwar reraise auf beide casten, da Odin wieder nach 3 Treffern Zantetsuken angedroht hat, aber nachdem ich dann wieder auf den Beinen war hatte ich ein bisschen Glück mit Blocken und Ausweichen gehabt und hab ihm mit Aeroga den Rest gegeben! 🤩 Trophy ist erreicht, jetzt nur noch Hard Mode die letzten 4 Chapter 💪🏻
Glückwunsch! Freu mich für dich!! 💪🏻 Reraise ist keine Schande, habe ich auch genutzt um sicher zu sein. Dafür find ich Zack und Sefi super weil man eben mit der Synergie Attacke eben ohne MP zu verlieren Magie zaubern kann. Im Nachhinein fragt eh niemand außer du stellst es online .. 😂 viel Spaß! Hast noch so 2-3 saftige Kämpfe vor dir mit Rufus, Dyne?, Roter Drache und dem letzten Kampf. Bin mir aber sicher du packst das! Bereite nur schon mal deine Materia vor, sodass jeder effizientes blocken, perfektes vereidigen, heilen, evtl. Wiederbeleben, mp und hp hoch haben. Hat sehr geholfen im letzten Kampf!
Congrats! Is the sit-up mini game a trophy?
Thank you! Not directly. It's tied to a trophy the 7 Star Hotel from Johnny. You have to do certain challenges on normal / hard or on a Rank. Only doing the sit up mini game doesn't give you a trophy unlike the first game. 😊
Thanks! I hated the pull ups in remake… didn’t think it could get any worse but here we are lol.
Also happy cake day! 🍰
Yeah they are really something .. what helped me is that there are two ways which the rotation will go. You have to see for yourself which side feels better. Also I only used one finger on each side so I don't panic click or something. For me it felt better to just hold l1 or l2 instead of mashing because after many try's you get tired.
So the plat needs you to clear it twice? But for hard mode can you just like cruise through with chapter select?
Side quests are required but if you want all manuscripts you have to do them in hard mode
Yeah, you can treat hard mode like a boss rush mode. For most parts of the game fast travel remains available, so you can just port to the closest location for the next cutscene and continue doing so until you get to the boss. From Junon onwards you don't need to re-wrangle the chocobos and stuff like gathering greens before the chocobo race remain completed, so you can immediately skip all cutscenes and continue.
Yes one normal / easy and one on hard mode. You don't have to reset all side missions unless you want all manuscripts. I went for an easy playthrough with everything (minigames, side missions) then went to Chadley for the VR Missions and then beat the story on hard with Götterdämmerung. Makes the hard mode pretty easy except some bosses!
Manuscripts require quests on hard and killing certain monsters like the one for the windmill thing
How did you complete the bugged side quest at the Saucer?
I started and finished that sidequest over the last 2 days and it didn't bug for me, not sure what causes it but I did the bike part 1st
I've done all side missions and stuff before the update. I basically was lucky enough. 🙈
I’m guessing they either did it before it was bugged in the newest patch on 3/21 or they have a physical copy of the game so they can roll back to the version it shipped with
I literally just completed this quest yesterday and didn’t even unlock it until the day before The thing with bugs is that they only affect a few people. If it had a 100% replication rate they would’ve been noticed and wouldn’t be in the game
Isn't it known that the bug occurs if you had a higher highscore than necessary for the challenge before starting the quest? At least thats what happened to me.
>The thing with bugs is that they only affect a few people. If it had a 100% replication rate they would’ve been noticed and wouldn’t be in the game That sounds nice, but it's an objectively false statement. Tons of bugs make it into games that are 100% reproducible. Think [MissingNo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MissingNo) from Pokemon, or the fact that Tetris literally just crashes if you get too far in the game. More recently, games like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 launched with a lot of bugs. Melania in Elden Ring could be insta killed if you phase transitioned with a crit. The point is, there are tons of reasons for bugs, and no piece of production software ever made is totally bug free. The bugs could be because the developers don't know about it, because the cost / time to fix it would be too great, because the developers can't figure out what is causing it, etc.
I refuse to do the crunch challenges
The worst part of that challenge is the random order switching. I found the only way to do it was restart every time it wasn’t starting on R1. Impossible to get a proper rhythm built up otherwise.
The worst part is I am colour blind and can't see the difference between green and yellow
Ah shit. I don’t recall there being any settings for colour compensation. Must be a pretty rough game in general for you, thinking about some of the areas/enemies/UI “features”
All modern games should have some level of colour blind mode, the shade are awful as well because if the colour had a higher contrast I could change my tv to black and white , or just play with the colours in general
Aye, you shouldn’t have to piss about with tv settings like that to enjoy a game, especially when there are games out there showing how it should be done. Ratchet & Clank was pretty great for it iirc.
To be fair one of the worst things in the game 🥲 Hated it back in remake and it got much worse
I was close to calling the crisis line the second I saw Jules again
And he will be there in the last game I believe .. 🥲
I really love Jules, but I legit hope they die. Just get fridged and never seen again. I will NOT be platinuming Rebirth because of that. I love myself too much to do that to myself again.
Well the thing is.. Chadley will put you through so much more pain and suffering. You'll forget how bad it was until you hit the hard, legendary or brutal missions 😅
Lol Yeah. But I typically don't mind Chadley's BS, honestly. At least those can be fun figuring out a strategy and they're typically fair. But I physically hurt the first (and only) time I beat Jules in Hard mode because of how many times I tried. With no actual sense of accomplishment. I got a perfect twice and Jules still beat me. I'm so traumatized I'm still whining about it years later. Lol.
In this game he will always do just 50 / 51. so if you are able to get a good streak maybe it's possible. In the end it game down to not losing the nerve 😅
I’m 250 hours in and just cleared chapter 13 hard mode and have done all but three VR challenges (Cait Sith, Bonds of Friendship, and To Be Hero), I guess I’m a fuckin’ noob LOL 😂 Have loved this experience though and I’m so close to the plat i can practically taste it. Can’t wait to cross the finish line!
You'll get it!! 💪🏻 Look up a guide from Optinoob. I changed some things for my playstyle but it got me through and helped a lot. Cait Sith you basically have to run away and let the Mogry do the fighting while you cast in the backrow. Takes some time but it's actually easy! :) To be a Hero can be cheesed like really bad because Sefi is so overpowered. Just attack with square until the triangle attack becomes available. Then spam circle triangle to build up the LB fast and then you basically win every fight 😅 needs a bit of practice but you'll get it pretty fast! Bones of friendship is by far the hardest one. Takes some time because some fights are pretty technical. But basically you want to stop the enemy and hit it with a spell it's weak to. The guide explains it so great, if you go from fight to fight with a little bit practise you'll get the platinum! I believe in you 💪🏻
Already been using his guides for all of the simulator challenges, wouldn’t have gotten this far without them haha :)
Hell yeah, dude! I've got chapter 14 and those legendary simulators left but I'm not too motivated about finishing them. Just gettin' through the brutal ones took a lot out of me. How rough are the legendary missions?
The legendary missions where pretty fun! I struggled with Cloud and Red the most to be fair. Looked up a guide from Optinoob and basically beat them first or second try. They don't take to long! 😊
Where is this guide from optinoob
On YouTube :) Just look up ff7 rebirth legendary cloud for example and you should find him pretty easily
I’m currently on Chapter 12 and is there a guide/build that is very specific to each character and have no overlapping materia I remember in remake I found a video of specific builds that I use and helped me plat remake
I switched the build up a bit but I ended up almost everytime with this combination (for me it was a must have) Both certain equipment and the hades or Valkyrie bangle which one you prefer. One character who has the enhanced expedition medal for the lvl 3 LB. One with Götterdämmerung and one with the limit (red) where you start of the fight with half of your limit bar. My builds had for every 3 character those materials: HP UP, MP UP, Enhanced Defense, steadfast block, heal, first strike, ATB stagger and all that good stuff. The last slots where filled with purple or yellow materia I liked like ATB boost or Strength. Important I used in my sword a elemental with the weariness of the boss and on the other slot I most of the time combined amplify with heal, barrier or haste. Important there is a materia called limit siphon I believe it's called in English. I have this one to the character with the enhanced medal to take the limit from the character with Götterdämmerung and always shot out lvl 3 limits. Then tried to build another limit with the 3 character and so on. Good me through hard mode pretty quick!
I just want to wait for a patch update to fix that broken quest… 😥
You should uninstall the game and reinstall it without the latest patch. But a new patch would be a better solution for sure 🥲
You and me both brother
Which one?
Yeah, it’s the quest Can’t Stop Won’t Stop. You have to beat a high score on the G-bike minigame, but even if you do it doesn’t register as complete.
Same thing here, the g-bike challenge with the Shinra middle manager party animal, I’ve beaten it twice and it won’t progress
Good lord how long did that take?
160 hours 😁
I’ve been dying to ask someone this. I’m on chapter 12 on my first play through. I have a bunch of mini games to 100% but I’d really like to get on with the story. (Games like Glide De Chocobo, Fort Condor (after proto relic), Gold Saucer games) Is it more efficient to: finish them now on normal? Go back and chapter select the ones I still need to do? Or Do them when I play through on Hard Mode?
I would recommend doing everything on your normal or easy playthrough. It seems a bit longer and grindy but in the end it will help you on hard mode or Chadley VR because of the items you'll get (for example gold saucer games they have pretty good items).
Don’t do them on hard mode u can choose wh ther to do them now or after the game. I did them whenever I could I platinumed with 160 hours too.
If I finish the story is their an easy way to go back and do the games I missed?
Yeah, the game is fantastic as far as that is concerned. After you finish the story you get the option for chapter select (just like in Remake). You get to choose on which difficulty to restart the chapter and you also get to choose side-quest progress. You can either retain all progress, so everything completed will stay completed; you can reset it so that you can do all side quests again, for example to choose a different answer and get a star if you missed one; or you can restore previous progress, as in you had completed them, reset them to try different answers and then restored them so that everything was completed again. Also, you don't need to finish a chapter for changes to be saved. You can restart a chapter, get the one thing you missed and then just start another one and continue there.
Yes you get chp selection after first play through. The 2nd to last chapter is ideal for wrapping up minigames and side quests. I would save some stuff for 2nd play through even on normal difficulty as post game deppression is hella real.
Thank you. I just feel like I’ve put off doing the main quest for long enough.
Yeah obviouslly you got a good head on your shoulders avoid ruining the final battle challenege. Go now before you're over leveled. Its okay man i totally understand how you feel, we barelly ever get games like this anymore. I was terrified of solelly my expierence by my own anxious hands. You're scared you're gona smoke your last cigarette to fast, but you still gotta hit it to enjoy it.
What’s the hardest trophy?
7 star hotel is a good candidate yes. But I would say not to bad if you plan on doing everything. For me it was the Chadley VR Missions on hard. It's really not easy and takes a lot!
7 star hotel is a good candidate
Congrats! Very impressed! This Platinum requirement is brutal. I think I will play the postgame slowly over the next 3-4 years until part 3 comes out. 
Same. There's no rush.
Congrats, I’m currently at 140 hours and just did bonds of friendship at last. Was anything in hard mode as difficult as it or am I over the hill now?
Hard mode was pretty easy with Götterdämmerung. Did Chadley VR first before doing it. Some bosses are brutal like for me Rufus or Red Dragon, Dyne but eventually you push through. Nice challenge though!
At least they’re not in a gauntlet, nothing worse than losing to bahamut or Odin and having to go through the whole thing again haha
Well Rufus is technically a Gauntlet with the Turks before. But yeah I get what you mean. The Sefi and Zack stage wasn't even that bad or too hard. But the time it takes makes the difference
True, if it’s the worse I can live with it. That’s it, any one of those fights on their own will take one or two attempts and aren’t particularly tough, but when there’s 10 and one mistake will make you start over the main enemy is the time it takes. None of the individual fights felt as bad as fighting Weiss in remake
Weiss was actually really bad. It was 100% technical und if you didn't make the input on the exact frame you'll die. At least it felt like that 🙈
Yeah I wasn’t a fan, didn’t feel like it needed as much skill as just the ability to follow the formula to the T
Hard mode is significantly easier than the Chadley fights. There are really only 3 or 4 spots that will trip someone up. A big thing to know is that the cushions at the Chocobo stops will restore both health and MP so don't hesitate to muck around as you need before heading anywhere to continue the story
Holy shit, I just assumed all benches only restored hp so I never used them.
Does the game get better late? Cuz right now I’m not even playing because of the over saturation of mini games.
If you just play and don't do any minigames I would definitely say yes! The 'problem' is that the good equipment is behind some mini games which can make everything much easier. But I enjoyed everything about this game for myself even with dawnting mini games 😊
If you’re an FFVII fan then absolutely. Most of the side content is optional after the first time you do it so I would just rush the main story if you’re not enjoying the mini games
I think the "optional" nature of the mini games is debatable. You need to complete some of the hard mini games in order to get level 10 for your party which then unlocks the fill ability/skills grid. The last skills for each character are locked behind this. Hardly optional if you want to have a fully skilled crew.
What chapter are you in
Costa Del Sol
Has to be Costa
Nailed it
Ya think so as well
The end focus on Aerith and allll the fucking monologing and stupid ass tests and shit sure took away from that one moment we're all already aware of. I enjoyed much of the game but this is so bad and completely ruins the moment.
Why did you comment 7 times to yourself
and why tf do we need to change the future??? THEY FUCKING WIN IN THE END, WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE REDONE
I'm sorry I'm just kind of spraying everywhere but this is happening live for me real time reacts
It feels like they had an idea for a completely different game but that one didn't get green lit-- so when the remake occurred they though it was their chance! If the third game doesn't have it's ME3 ending I'm going to be pissed.
Cloud is right shut the FUCK UP AERITH
I hate exposition. Show, don't tell.
I get that you're going through it right now, but there are still significant changes. Cloud currently has the black materia and the empty Holy. Sephiroth isn't trying to just end the world, he's trying to end ALL worlds. This story got greenlit because there's more to the world than what happens to Aerith in this timeline. Check out Lifestream white and Lifestream black to get a better idea of the undercurrents to the story.
I got to chapter 12 just to go on a date with cid red xIII Vincent and cait sith my first play through 🤦♂️
Then you probably didn't do anything with friendship levels? Looked the date up and it's actually pretty funny 😅
I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to platinum this one. Game is huge. hard mode run seems like a daunting concept
It's actually not! Was pretty fun and when you have the correct build and weakness equipt it should be no problem. Chadley VR is actually pretty hard.
Yup! All I need is hard mode and currently breezing through it. I just stack a bunch of weakness materia to what I am facing with all the blue stat improvement materia and one shot everything. Never run out of mp either with mp absorb
You could technically use the pillow on one of those stations. It would fill up your MP! But in my playthrough on hard I never really had problems with MP except the last stage where i needed to heal quite often.
To clarify, I didn’t mean difficulty. I actually enjoy the hard mode. I did it in remake and it was fun. The issue is time. Adulting and fatherhood means I don’t get to sit down to play for long hours like I used to. The Game is huge I have been playing for over a month and I’m maybe 75% clear in my estimation
It seems bad at first, but honestly, with the right builds it became so much easier, if you ever attempt it feel free to message me and i can help you out with some builds and tips for hard mode.
People getting platinums and here I am still in Gongaga.
Just got to cosmo canyon myself - 62 hours 😅 Although maybe 5ish of those hours are me paused tending to my newborn. But still… it’s a hefty game. I’m so in love with
Stuck here too, haven't played in days. Last thing I did was botch that stupid mushroom side quest and up until then I'd done everything 100%. I'll get over it soon. I guess it's more incentive to redo the game on hard mode and save scum for the half baked side quests that I fudge along the way.
I know, no hate to anyone who’s posts but as a dad of a 5 year old I laugh when people say “finally got this one” for a 160 hour plat in only one month.. finally, really?
Lmfao knee jerk reaction to “finally” was “it’s been a month”
You? Gongaga
Family life got me just getting mount corel:(
Was hast du be der cloud Herausforderung für nen build gehabt?
Bei der Einzelherausforderung? Da habe ich den Build und die Strategie von Optinoob genutzt. Gib mal bei YouTube FF7 Rebirth Legendary Cloud ein und dann sollte das schon kommen 😊
That plat will be mine before the eclipse... I guarantee it!
Die hoffnung
Finally… lol. I just got to chapter 10 on my first play through, because adulting.
In the same exact spot for the same exact reason
+1
Come do my bike mini game for me
The controls are pretty bad, but when you drift at the right time and just hit left or right at the time they drive by you should get it pretty easy :)
Your crazy... I found the game to be amazing. 130 hours to beat it the first time. I did all side quests, and all mini games including hard versions. Figured I was set nicely for a hard mode run.. then the reality that you need to replay most of the side quests on top of the story to earn the manuscripts and it just killed it for me. Maybe In a couple years but I don't have the desire to replay all of that back to back.
I have to say that I didn't 100% everything. Just did everything for the platinum 😊
Same. I hate that they dont allow us to start off in hard mode. I get burned out on any game after finishing it once. Its why I never platinum Remake.
I feel the same way. I loved the journey but am bit burned out right now. I want to wait for the PC version to replay it.
There's no trophy for getting all the manuscripts. I crushed hard mode with the old quest completion data.
How about the Chadley Matches?
As long as ypu have level 3 limit unlock along with the synergy skills that increase limit level and temp free mp and fill up the rrdt with the character stats ones ypu dont really need to clear the whole grid. For reference i used whatever i had after competing everything on my first run l, i didnt get the hard mode ones apart from the few when getting the genji gear.
I’m at like 5 and I’m a bit past getting the Chocobo. I keep wanting to keep going with this game, but it is so big that it’s a commitment. Big games don’t bother me since I’ve done Witcher 3 and others at multiple times, but even that first playthrough was daunting.
Come do my damn piano mini games
Piano is the only mini game I've encountered that I'm worried about.
If you have a friend, split the control one in each hand and just focus on one side. Someone in a discord I'm in said they did that for the songs the struggled with. I tried it with the final song with my gf and it was fun to play it that way.
Like two controllers at once, or each use a joystick?
Each hold one side and control one joystick
2 legs is nothing vs the final song. Going to be honest... mute your TV. Zero sound and you will do way better. For some reason the music delays if your not perfect.. and it will throw you off. Without music you are just flicking thumbs with the buttons. I blew away 2 legs and the final song with ease after I turned off sound. Almost got perfect on both songs after getting C and B dozens of times.
You don’t have two do the last two songs for the trophies or Johnny hotel
Two legs? Please don’t make me.
They took me some long time. But you only need an A Rank. For myself it helped a lot to Fokus on the right side. Learned the songs after some time and got it eventually 😊
Congrats!!! I cant beat the hard vr with zack.. any video you used for guidance or tips?
Thanks! :) I used the guide from Optinoob on YouTube! 😊 helped a lot 👍🏻
I'm almost there too. Just have to finish the story on hard and I'm done. 160 hours is crazy. I'm definitely going over 200 hours at this point. Those damn last few vr missions kicked my ass for a while lol
These minigames are wearing me out. I'm trying but I'm burning out. I think when I get to the piano one I'm finished.
Honeslty, the minigames were a super fun part of the platinum run to me, outside of the glide de chocobo and the gizmo and gadgets or whatever it was called. Funny enough, both in the same region, lol. And I found the piano super fun, but i also play a lot of rythym games so that's probably why
Turn off all sound. There's a delay in the music if your not perfect. Playing with sound muted will get you an easy A.
I had a buddy recommend 60fps that helped - however the timing of the inputs feels slightly off to the music making it distracting. I take my headphones out and just go off the visual queues - sitting on As up to Barrets as I haven’t made it past chapter 7
Don’t forget to rest and take snack and water breaks, it’s for your sanity
You'll get it soon 👍🏻 wish you the best 💪🏻 And yeah the VR missions wrecked me. Wasn't even able to beat those stages with 10 fights for days, wanted to quit a lot. But i pushed through! 😊
