I did it!!!!! I got the Platinum trophy!!!!!!

[Jiro]

It's all about da points. I really have a problem.

[Skyblade]

I abandoned the quest for Platinum due to the whole "collect every item" thing.

I made it all the way to the end, five starred every mission (and the last boss), and did pretty much everything in the game with base level weapons/accessories. I didn't level anything, and, really, I didn't need to.

Until you face the Gui or LongGui, who have so much health/damage that beating them without upgraded gear is nearly impossible. It just struck me as such a cheap shot that it killed all interest in the game. I'm not going to tack another hundred hours of nothing but grind to this game. It's not worth it. The upgrade system in this game is abysmal. It's poorly designed, atrociously implemented, and almost completely unnecessary. Heck, the game itself punishes you for using the upgrade system.

I just really, really don't see why it is worth it, and coming from someone as obsessively completionist as me, that is saying a lot.

I was determined to do this but once I realized defeating a Long Gui was one of the requirements I gave up.

Long Gui is relatively easy to beat, just save you.r game before hand, keep 2 elixers on hand (I think there are only 3 available on hand you get them by fully upgrading the Doctors Code (of which there are 2 in the game) then dismantling it you will get 1 elixer from that) then go in and summon immediately, that will take out his legs then debuff with Vanille and the Malboro Wand (improved debuffing II) have you.r other 2 team members use Rav Rav (preferably Light and Hope) once you have debuffed him (only possible once you have taken his legs out) its a very quick stagger switch to Relentless Assault and get ready for him standing up, at which point you use the Elixer (it will fully restore you.r TP enabling you to summon once again) rinse and repeat. I had him down within 6 minutes using this tactic, also helpful is that once you have the achievement you can reload you.r save and still have you.r Elixers for the Vercingetorix fight.

Congrats on getting the platinum, you have inspired me to finish getting the trophies for this game (only need the item collector achievement and 5 staring Vercingetorix).

OOC: I dislike the you.r filter, its annoying.

What filter? I am confused?

What filter? I am confused?

For a few days they filtered the word your to say yer.

I also have given up in a rage at getting 1000 achievement points, that damned treasure hunter achievement is ridiculous, I am certain I have had every single item the game has to offer but that damned little robot refuses to give it to me, I have upgraded every single weapon and accessory and it still eludes me :/

[Roogle]

What are the requirements for a Platinum Trophy? I don't collect achievements or trophies in games on Playstation 3.

[Jessweeee♪]

I think you just have to get all of the other trophies, and then it's like, hey you did it!

Got it in one

I'm working on the Treasure Hunter achievement now, hoping to get all my upgraded equipment before I tackle Mission 64 and also the Long Gui. Farming for gil is very smurfing tedious. However it'll only be another handful of hours (I'm doing it in a consistent but less efficient manner) and then I'll have everything ticked off. I've been watching anime while repeating the A Potent Sting mission (23 or 24 or something)

Good luck. Hope you get it soon.

My harddrive disappeared for a while, and I couldn't bring myself to grind without watching something, so I've had to postpone it until now
