10 Ridiculously Hard Final Fantasy Trophies & Achievements

The Final Fantasy collection has lengthy been beloved for providing gamers respectable challenges that actually really feel rewarding to finish. Whether or not it is a highly effective superboss you have spent a complete playthrough coaching for or a mini-game that takes hours to beat, it is arduous to argue that every entry would not include its personal distinctive problem that retains gamers on their toes, regardless of how acquainted with the franchise they’ve develop into.

With older titles being launched on trendy consoles, these challenges at the moment are enshrined with trophies and achievements. This has additionally given the builders free rein to create some actually punishing challenges, which, to today, have gamers second-guessing their platinum runs.

With all that in thoughts, we’re going to check out the toughest achievements throughout the Remaining Fantasy franchise whose sheer point out causes followers’ cortisol ranges to rightfully spike.

Remaining Fantasy X

Chocobo Rider

Final Fantasy 10 is loaded with minigames that can have you ever virtually break your controller in a match of rage, however none are as rage-inducing because the Chocobo race. When you attain the Calm Lands, you can dabble in some Chocobo racing. Which you will wish to do, as not solely will finishing it get you one a part of Tidus’ Final Weapon, but in addition the Chocobo Racer trophy.

However for no matter motive, Sq. Enix concocted this minigame in a lab into probably the most unfair and irritating experiences of all time. To finish this mini-game, you will have to earn a 0.0 time, which you’ll be able to solely get by accumulating 13 balloons and avoiding getting hit by any birds. Which is a nigh-impossible feat provided that the lap has invisible partitions, birds seemingly spawn out of nowhere to hit you, balloons will typically spawn in inconvenient places, and also you’re racing towards one other opponent who can steal these much-needed balloons and block you. Do not even get me began on the clunky Chocobo controls as properly.

All of this culminates in an enraging mini-game that would see you attempting for hours, which is able to almost certainly have you ever second-guessing your completionist run.

Remaining Fantasy IX

Hail To The King

I used to be by no means a lot of a skipping man, however after finishing this mini-game in Final Fantasy 9, you will not discover me anyplace close to a rope lest I begin experiencing traumatic flashbacks.

The bounce rope mini-game may be one of the vital notorious aspect actions in any Remaining Fantasy recreation, and it would not take lengthy to see why. To achieve each the Hail to the King trophy and a strong accent for Vivi, you must efficiently carry out 1,000 jumps. If that does not get your thumb cramping, then it’s best to know that the tempo will increase each 20–50 jumps, simply in case you have been beginning to determine the rhythm.

In case you fail the minigame, your rely resets to zero. A minimum of with the lightning bolts in Remaining Fantasy 10, you will get incremental awards to assist soften the blow, however hitting the 900 mark and lacking your bounce by a microsecond is sufficient to make me cry right into a pillow.

Remaining Fantasy XII

Mist Walker

We’re all acquainted with the 12-hour-long battle with Yiazmat, however what if I advised you that is not Final Fantasy 12‘s hardest achievement? With the correct gambits, gear, and a complete six-pack of Monster Power White, you are positive to take down the superboss with out an excessive amount of stress.

That is why Mist Walker takes the crown, as there actually is not a stable technique to determine this one out. This trophy is tied to Remaining Fantasy 12’s new Quickening system, which is a brand new sort of restrict break that you may chain a number of instances in case you’re fast sufficient. Every character can study three quickenings, which is able to randomly seem while you begin casting one in a roulette-like system. After every quickening forged, your timer will get sooner, making it more durable to chain them back-to-back.

What makes this trophy so arduous is that it requires you to make use of all 9 quickenings in a single rotation. Provided that quickenings solely present up randomly and the timer is quickly ticking down, attempting to forged all 9 in a single go is a surprisingly troublesome feat. Even worse, after a single failed run, you will want to begin grinding again your mist cost to full proper after to aim it as soon as extra.

Disaster Core: Remaining Fantasy VII Reunion

Mission Completionist

It needs to be a no brainer that the hardest achievement in a Remaining Fantasy recreation is “beat all the opposite achievements”, however I do not suppose any recreation makes it such a wrestle fairly like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion.

Mission Completionist is such a troublesome achievement that to earn it, that you must full all 300 SOLDIER missions obtainable within the recreation. Positive, that seems like a slog on paper, however you then do not forget that it is truly attainable to overlook unlocking these missions. These triggers may be as minor as lacking mail in between missions or failing to talk to a safety guard within the Shinra Constructing. With no chapter choice obtainable, you will need to slog your approach by means of one other playthrough to make sure you choose it up the second time.

It would not assist that a few of these missions themselves are extraordinarily robust, and can see you going through off towards the superboss Minerva, and a gauntlet of different robust mobs. This makes this achievement not solely such an enormous slog, but in addition one with such excessive stakes in case you fail to unlock even a single mission.

Remaining Fantasy VII Remake

Corrupter of the Immaculate

Final Fantasy 7 is house to so many nice superbosses, though all pale compared to Weiss. In case you’re ever in an argument over which superboss is the last word “filterer” for unhealthy gamers, then Weiss needs to be your primary choose. This battle is the definition of an onslaught, as there’s virtually no room to breathe whereas the silver-haired edgelord hits you with seemingly endless combos. Even while you suppose you have discovered a gap, he’ll immediately set off a counter-attack which may wreck you in a single hit.

In case you suppose you possibly can merely swap to a neater issue, oh, you would be mistaken, as the sport locks you to the Onerous issue, taking away your therapeutic objects. Not solely is Weiss the toughest boss within the recreation, however he is additionally fairly probably the toughest superboss in any Remaining Fantasy recreation ever, making defeating him all of the extra triumphant.

Remaining Fantasy X

Sphere Grasp

Remaining Fantasy 10, to me, is 2 video games: you’ve gotten your primary story a couple of summoner who defeats Sin, and the second is grinding out the sphere grid. That is a kind of trophies that is surprisingly simple to take without any consideration, however when you get into the weeds of it, it is much more advanced than you thought. Not solely do you must grind out the a whole lot of ranges wanted to fill the sphere grid, however you will additionally want to gather quite a lot of totally different stat spheres to fill all of the empty nodes. Which implies much more grinding to backtrack all through the sphere grid to fill them in.

In case you’re exploiting the Tonberry AP exploit, this may not take so long as it might take in any other case, however it’s nonetheless a behemoth of a activity. One that can take up as a lot of your time as the complete primary story quest and aspect content material mixed, all so you possibly can declare this single silver trophy.

This trophy is so unpopular that solely 4% of gamers have accomplished it. For reference, 4.2% of gamers have crushed Penance, the sport’s hardest superboss, that means even probably the most passionate and hardcore gamers select to forgo the additional grind required to tackle this one.

Remaining Fantasy XIII

Treasure Hunter

Final Fantasy 13 is a recreation rightly criticized for its linear construction, particularly for what appears like 80% of its primary story. Regardless of its linear construction, it truly has one of many hardest trophies, which asks gamers to get each weapon and accent for all six characters. Appears easy, proper? Oh, candy summer time youngster, you do not even know half of it.

Not solely do that you must accumulate all of the weapons and equipment, however you will additionally have to improve every weapon to its subsequent rank, and each accent to its third tier. Not each weapon and accent right here may be discovered within the overworld, both. A few of these you will want to purchase, others you will uncover after dismantling different equipment at a sure rank.

Subsequent to Remaining Fantasy 10, that is by far one of many longest slogs in any Remaining Fantasy recreation. That is not even mentioning how you will need to battle a number of Lengthy Gui for a treasured materials, which is a problem in and of itself.

Remaining Fantasy X-2

Candy Perfection

Following within the footsteps of Disaster Core, we now have Final Fantasy X-2, which shares the identical issues in that it may be an absolute slog to work by means of. Candy Perfection would require gamers to as soon as once more get a 100% completion right here, though it is attainable to thoroughly miss aspect quests or sure occasions, which lock you out of key occasions related to finishing the sport.

Even worse, a few of these are fully arbitrary, equivalent to lacking a single scene, not choosing up a sure merchandise, or selecting the unsuitable dialogue, which may lock you out of incomes this reward. As a result of the sport is so open-ended and has gamers backtracking, it is too simple to unintentionally miss these moments.

My most hated function of this trophy is that in case you do not obtain a weapon with “No Encounters” from the Geosgaeno, you will not get the trophy, as that is the one occasion this weapon will drop. In case you’re not taking part in together with a information, it is virtually not possible to complete this problem, which is simply devastating.

2

Remaining Fantasy XV

Adamant Will

Final Fantasy 15 is not brief on spectacle, so it is sensible that its iconic superboss, Adamantoise, would go all out. You may see a number of allusions to the enormous tortoise all through the sport, as you will see the odd-shaped mountain looming within the distance at a number of factors all through the sport. It is not till chapter 15 that you will lastly be capable to tackle the beast, for higher or for worse.

Very like Yiazmat, the Adamantoise is much less a superboss and extra an endurance take a look at. The boss boasts a mighty 5.6 million HP and might take gamers as much as three hours to carry down, which can make some gamers react like Conan O’Brien upon listening to the information. The Adamantoise additionally offers pitiful harm, with gradual assaults which might be fairly simple to keep away from, until you fall sufferer to the battle’s wonky digital camera.

In case you’re fortunate, you possibly can spam the Ring of Lucii’s spell Alterna, which has a 1% probability of immediately killing the turtle. Which is sweet, as the choice is the gaming equal of watching paint dry.

Remaining Fantasy XIV

Warrior of Gentle

Placing Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn on the PlayStation was an immense feat, introducing console players to the fantastic MMO and its lush world. In saying that, whoever designed the trophies for the sport is one in every of gaming’s best villains. As you possibly can guess, to earn the platinum trophy, Warrior of Gentle, you will have to undertake some intense grindy actions.

If, for no matter motive, this trophy calls to you want a Inexperienced Goblin masks you simply cannot keep away from, you then’d greatest stop your job and carve out a stable 6 months simply to play the sport. At a minimal, you will want roughly 400 hours to grind by means of a few of the extra demanding milestones right here.

Ending A Realm Reborn is simple in comparison with all the pieces else you must do, like needing to craft 1000 objects for every crafting class, collect 1000 objects for all three gathering lessons, attain the max stage cap for one in every of each class function (Tank, DPS, Healer), and lastly, do a bunch ton of FATEs. As soon as all is alleged and completed, you will lastly get to assert that platinum trophy for your self, however at what price?
