Square Enix has proudly claimed multiple times just how massive Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is, sharing how it nearly had to split the game’s content across three discs. Ultimately, it settled for two. While this is good news for those looking to get more value out of their money, this also means that earning a Platinum Trophy on the PlayStation 5 exclusive take a lot longer compared to other games.
According to Powerpyx, obtaining the Platinum Trophy for FF7 Rebirth may take up to 200 hours if not longer, roughly double the amount of hours it takes to play through the game initially.
Even for a franchise known for asking gamers to do the impossible – older fans may still have PTSD from trying to complete Final Fantasy 9 in under 12 hours – the difficulty and amount of hours the sequel is demanding for completion can feel overwhelming.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth promises an expansive open world filled with detailed quests, a myriad of minigames, and a narrative depth that fans of the series have come to expect. This combination ensures the game will be a captivating experience from start to finish. Yet, for those who chase the added achievement of unlocking every Trophy, the journey will be far longer and more demanding. The game boasts a total of 61 Trophies, divided into 54 Bronze, five Silver, one Gold, and the Platinum Trophy.
To unlock all the FF7 Rebirth trophies, players will need to navigate through a myriad of challenges, some of which will push them out of their gaming comfort zone.
The necessity for at least two playthroughs – one on hard difficulty, a mode unlockable only after completing the game on easy or normal – adds a significant time investment.
While the prospect of a 200-hour commitment to achieve a Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth might seem daunting, it also represents an opportunity for players to immerse themselves fully in the world and lore of Final Fantasy 7.
Ultimately, the open-world nature of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, filled with side quests and other activities, means that players will have their work cut out for them as they strive to complete everything the game has to offer.
