KaKrackle Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I had a feeling that Excallibur 2 would be on this list. I attempted it in the ps1 days, and didn't even get close haha. I was only about 14 though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the titles are contrived and complicated or just plainly not my taste (FF7, yes, I know), but IX is beautiful, pure and bittersweet. Great score and characters. 22 minutes ago, NathanielJohn said: There is no "the" game that's regarded as the best in the series -- people have *wildly* varying opinions on which FF game is the best. FF6, 7, 9 (i.e., this game), and 10 are the "usual" answers. 4 minutes ago, darkbeuh said: I love Final Fantasy, bought FFIX day one, but I really can't remember much past disc 2.

Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna pick it up anyway and see what it's like. May wait for a sale as it seems to pricey for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I am not attempting this plat because of E2. I don't mind difficult challenges, but speedrunning isn't a thing I generally do. I want the 1000 skips, though. When I was a kid, I got to 2000 skips and only stopped because I got bored. Wasn't easy to get to that level, though.

But I love this game so... I can't resist. Edited September 19, 2017 by Elvick_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zadorvp Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Excited for the sudden release of the PS4 version, less excited about the jump rope trophy since I've always been awful at it Don't mind Excalibur II as much since it's less annoying nowadays since I've done that before (on an emulator though as the PAL PS1 version was considered impossible though I hear that's changed since then), whereas the jump rope always annoys me. P.S. Only the "always on" boosters disable trophies. 1 minute ago, EternalChaos72 said: Wonder if the theme and avatars are time limited? Can you maybe show what the avatars look like?

RVMcypress_grave Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I still remember seeing this poster of Eiko at the mall and doing a double-take then turning to my friend and saying "Dude...why is there a poster of a naked kid and why is everyone casually ignoring it?" lol Bad color choice for sure.

fabmorais_2011 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So, maybe this will apply to this version?: "The Steam and mobile release makes the challenge substantially easier as cutscenes can be skipped, random encounters can be disabled, the player can stat boost their players to defeat enemies quicker, the battle intros can be disabled and the player can speed up their game by five times without affecting the internal clock. Even without speeding up the game, it is easily possible to claim the sword in under nine hours by making use of all other enhancements. In these versions, claiming the sword earns the player the achievement The Ultimate Sword. Usage of enhancements does not prevent the player from earning the achievement, however, as with all such enhancements, it is at the player's discretion whether such use constitutes cheating."

Yeah, but disabling random encounters would be permanent as well, so which ones are actually temporary? EDIT: I see, temporary meaning you can switch them on and off? Never played the Steam version, so that's all new to me. Edited September 19, 2017 by fabmorais_2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacham Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 List looks a little tough considering I haven't played it in a good 10+ years. Tell you what though guys and girls. It looks really really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permanent boosts can't be turned off, temporary ones (such as the speed booster) can. There should be an in-game notification letting you know which ones can't be turned off, but my game hasn't downloaded yet so I can't check if that's true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticjMax Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) 3 hours ago, eXeViuS said: These trophies seem pretty hard and grindy. Having played through the original PS game as a high schooler, I can say this is my least favorite Final Fantasy. I didn't hate the characters or anything like that, but it was boring as heck for me. Now that they reported it and I saw the list, I saw some very unfriendly trophies that made this game a complete no-go for me: Beat Ozma, the secret boss: YEEEEEEEAH, who in the FFIX community has even done that. Ozma is the ultimate troll boss. Unless the Steam version fixes some of his attacks to not be insanely OP, good luck with that! Get 1000 perfect skips on the jump rope minigame: No way, Jose. Win 1000 Tetra Master matches: NOPE. I am passing on this game. Edited September 19, 2017 by MysticjMax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 are the avatars also available now on US PSN? I need Vivi avatar :3 oh boy... lots of missable trophies but I really don't mind. Wonder how reaching level 99 will take though, could remember that the highest level I got was level 50+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
