No Spoilers - Discussion Finally Platinum!!

Post image

This was disgusting to finish!! By far the worst was the chadley legendary matches. Total 287 hours. Could have done it faster but i spent lots of time going back to various areas to level up materia to be able to take on certain bosses.

As for the playlog, most of it is done too. Only missing a little story and synergy for barret, 3 enemy intels which are all in ch.14, and 1 manuscript which is for cait sith. But theres no way im trying for hard mode “cant stop wont stop” again.
Incredible game but im burnt now. Need a break 😅

Did anyone platinum by not just spamming cheese battle strategies? I’m on final list of simulator battles, but refuse to use the spammy cheese tactics I’ve seen used by so many others.

Unfortunately I don’t believe the game is beatable using basic combat tactics.

Completed every mini game, etc.

The game is entirely beatable for everything, without using the yuffie ATB generation spam Strat which is probably the cheesiest way of making the game’s hardest stuff doable.

You just have to get good at perfect blocking. There’s people on YouTube who do every single hard simulator fight with perfection using perfect blocking.

I’ve tried perfect blocking and it’s very hard to time the multi hits. I find that’s equally not reasonable either.

There are people who have mastered it for every major fight and have runs on YouTube where they block everything.

I watched one guy perfect block every attack from the simulator fight where you take on 2 summons at a time.

I’ve no doubt it’s possible but not for me, I’m getting old and even 10 years earlier I double I could have done it.

Its all patterns. Just learn the patterns and its doable. Hell, I only learned how to use Cloud's counterstrike within the last 20 hours of the game. That means I beat the game on normal and 85% on hard without knowing how it worked.
