Final Fantasy IX's Platinum Trophy is Nigh Impossible

With Final Fantasy IX was announced for a PS4 release yesterday, one of its trophies requires you to jump rope 1000 times without tripping.

[-Foxtrot]

I have to admit even the FFVII ones seem a little rough along with the FFX/X-2 HD ones

I mean some of them seem like they expect you to dedicate your life to them and do multiple playthroughs where if you mess up you'll have to do it in your second playthrough

The dodge Lightning strikes one in FFX...good grief.

[iDadio]

I'm one of those people who will say they won't even bother then find myself at 2am jumping the rope

[zekk]

Sadly I'm probably the same just cuz it feels so doable but at the same time so out of reach

[KwokXi]

FFVII platinum was easy, this one is ridiculous :'(

I'm going to buy it but not worry about trophy, I haven't actually beat IX before *.*

[Bahamut]

I got every single trophy in FFVII EXCEPT the Barret date one. Didn't realize exactly what was required in the beginning of the game, so now I have to start all over. After like 200 hours of gameplay. W/e. W/e. It's cool........

Best PSO FF is 9

[DaMist]

i can see why they turned that one in FFX into a trophy, since you'll be doing that to collect the one celestial weapon anyways (if you want to), but i dont know if there was a similar activity in the original FF IX

[LAWSON72]

Tales of Symphonia requires like 4 playthroughs.

Tales of games in general are pretty rough.

[PhoenixUp]

Oh screw that. I can beat that superboss Ozma, but to hell with skipping rope that long

[zielocz3k]

my record is 23 jumps lol, so annoying

[FallenAngel1984]

When beating a Final Fantasy superboss is easier to get a Trophy for than a mini game 😒

[Snookies12]

My brother hit 1000 back in the PS1 days. Never understood how he could possibly do it. I got to 200 I think, at most...

[Gh05t]

Its about recognizing the pattern. After 200 it goes from just a single button press timing to a pattern button press timing i.e. press press pause press and that changes every 100 if I remember right.

It is ridiculously hard but its not impossible.I find the hardest part to be the endurance. I still remember my hand cramping trying to get this when FFIX first came out

[Snookies12]

I just couldn't keep my concentration after the 150-200 mark. My eyes always started to get tired of trying to keep up lol.

I absolutely love FFIX, but I'm never even attempting this trophy. If I couldn't do it back in the day, there's no way I'll be able to these days.

[Relientk77]

No way I'm jumping rope 1000 times

Screw that lol

[Mr Marvel]

I managed 5.... almost there.
I wonder if the turbo button on my arcade stick would work.

[Gh05t]

It wont work. After jump 200 (if my memory serves me well) the jump goes into a timing pattern. So that is why button mashing after 200 doesn't work.

[bouzebbal]

the good news is, there are no missable trophies, other than for excalibur 2 which requires a second playthrough to achieve.
reaching the finale under 12hours can be a massive challenge you need to know the game almost by heart.

[franwex]

I think there's a no encounter mode, but yeah; pretty crazy.

[Skankinruby]

Screw that, I don't know who comes up with these but some are ridiculous. My personal favorite is Outlast 2 playing through insane mode without reloading the battery, no freaking way.

[Matrix6]

Wow, FFXV platinum is cake walk compared to the older games

[DivineAssault]

Theyre out of their damn mind if they think im going to even attempt something like that.. Thats just insane.

[DarkZane]

There is also a trophy for getting excalibur 2, which is also pretty ridiculous.

[CrimsonWing69]

damn it... I was really wanting to have the platinum for this one, too.

[chris235]

you know, i might have bought the reheat of x and x-2 (and other reheats of ff games) just for the fun of earning the trophies. but as they think that every ff fan is 8-14years old who is able to dedicate his/her entire life around earning the platinum trophy - i did not open my wallet. i think they are ok with the lost money. else they would think twice about implementing wayyy too stupid trophIes. they didn't really get the trophy business. they can do wonders for units sold.but they also can result in the opposite.

[franwex]

I love how ff9 is like sooo controversial now!

[NapalmSanctuary]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Thats the one thing I refuse to do in this game. Good thing I'm not a trophy whore.

[Pancit_Canton]

If this thing is a re-released of the android port. People can just activate the cheat and make it faster.

[Tzuno]

the resets :)

[CrystalFantasy]

This is BS! WTF is SE thinking? Do they think trophies are a joke that people dont really care about? Same thing bs happened with ffx dodge lightning trophy.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why do they do things like this..

[jznrpg]

Oh shit i suck at jump roping in original let me see if I can do better in this version, though I doubt i ever hit 100 let alone 1000

[WePlayDirty]

Should have been 100. That's way more realistic

[RommyReigns]

Has team Hakoom (yeah it's a team, there's no way one guy is earning all those trophies by himself in such a close time-span) earned (or hacked) the trophy yet?

[inxine]

i cant even get 15, how are we suppose to do tht lol
