10 Ridiculously Laborious Ultimate Fantasy Trophies & Achievements

The Ultimate 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’ve got spent a whole playthrough coaching for or a mini-game that takes hours to beat, it is onerous to argue that every entry would not include its personal distinctive problem that retains gamers on their toes, regardless of how accustomed to the franchise they’ve turn out to be.

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

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

Ultimate Fantasy X

Chocobo Rider

Ultimate Fantasy 10 is loaded with minigames that may have you ever nearly 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 may need 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 cause, Sq. Enix concocted this minigame in a lab into essentially the most unfair and irritating experiences of all time. To finish this mini-game, you may 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 areas, and also you’re racing in opposition to 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 nicely.

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

Ultimate 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 Ultimate Fantasy 9, you will not discover me anyplace close to a rope lest I begin experiencing traumatic flashbacks.

The soar rope mini-game could be some of the notorious facet actions in any Ultimate 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 need to efficiently carry out 1,000 jumps. If that does not get your thumb cramping, then it is best to know that the tempo will increase each 20–50 jumps, simply in case you have been beginning to determine the rhythm.

Should you fail the minigame, your depend resets to zero. At the very least with the lightning bolts in Ultimate Fantasy 10, you may get incremental awards to assist soften the blow, however hitting the 900 mark and lacking your soar by a microsecond is sufficient to make me cry right into a pillow.

Ultimate Fantasy XII

Mist Walker

We’re all accustomed to the 12-hour-long battle with Yiazmat, however what if I informed you that is not Ultimate Fantasy 12‘s hardest achievement? With the precise 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 Ultimate Fantasy 12’s new Quickening system, which is a brand new type of restrict break that you may chain a number of occasions if you happen to’re fast sufficient. Every character can study three quickenings, which is able to randomly seem whenever you begin casting one in a roulette-like system. After every quickening solid, your timer will get sooner, making it more durable to chain them back-to-back.

What makes this trophy so onerous 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, making an attempt to solid all 9 in a single go is a surprisingly tough feat. Even worse, after a single failed run, you may want to start out grinding again your mist cost to full proper after to aim it as soon as extra.

Disaster Core: Ultimate Fantasy VII Reunion

Mission Completionist

It ought to be a no brainer that the hardest achievement in a Ultimate Fantasy recreation is “beat all the opposite achievements”, however I do not assume any recreation makes it such a battle fairly like Disaster Core: Ultimate Fantasy 7 Reunion.

Mission Completionist is such a tough achievement that to earn it, that you must full all 300 SOLDIER missions obtainable within the recreation. Certain, that seems like a slog on paper, however then you definitely keep in mind that it is truly doable to overlook unlocking these missions. These triggers could 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 may should slog your means by means of one other playthrough to make sure you decide it up the second time.

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

Ultimate Fantasy VII Remake

Corrupter of the Immaculate

Ultimate Fantasy 7 is dwelling to so many nice superbosses, though all pale compared to Weiss. Should you’re ever in an argument over which superboss is the final word “filterer” for dangerous gamers, then Weiss ought to be your primary decide. This battle is the definition of an onslaught, as there’s nearly no room to breathe whereas the silver-haired edgelord hits you with seemingly never-ending combos. Even whenever you assume you’ve got discovered a gap, he’ll immediately set off a counter-attack which may wreck you in a single hit.

Should you assume you may merely change to a neater problem, oh, you would be mistaken, as the sport locks you to the Laborious problem, 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 Ultimate Fantasy recreation ever, making defeating him all of the extra triumphant.

5

Ultimate Fantasy X

Sphere Grasp

Ultimate Fantasy 10, to me, is 2 video games: you will have your principal story a few summoner who defeats Sin, and the second is grinding out the sphere grid. That is a type 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 need to grind out the tons of of ranges wanted to fill the sphere grid, however you may additionally want to gather quite a lot of completely 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.

Should you’re exploiting the Tonberry AP exploit, this may not take so long as it will take in any other case, but it surely’s nonetheless a behemoth of a process. One that may take up as a lot of your time as the complete principal story quest and facet content material mixed, all so you may 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, which means even essentially the most passionate and hardcore gamers select to forgo the additional grind required to tackle this one.

Ultimate Fantasy XIII

Treasure Hunter

Ultimate Fantasy 13 is a recreation rightly criticized for its linear construction, particularly for what appears like 80% of its principal 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 baby, you do not even know half of it.

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

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

Ultimate Fantasy X-2

Candy Perfection

Following within the footsteps of Disaster Core, we have now Ultimate 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 doable to thoroughly miss facet 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, resembling lacking a single scene, not choosing up a sure merchandise, or selecting the flawed 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 if you happen to 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. Should you’re not enjoying together with a information, it is nearly unimaginable to complete this problem, which is simply devastating.

2

Ultimate Fantasy XV

Adamant Will

Ultimate 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 large tortoise all through the sport, as you may 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 similar to 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 deliver down, which can make some gamers react like Conan O’Brien upon listening to the information. The Adamantoise additionally offers pitiful harm, with sluggish assaults which can be fairly simple to keep away from, except you fall sufferer to the battle’s wonky digicam.

Should you’re fortunate, you may 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.

Ultimate Fantasy XIV

Warrior of Mild

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

If, for no matter cause, this trophy calls to you want a Inexperienced Goblin masks you simply cannot keep away from, then you definitely’d finest stop your job and carve out a stable 6 months simply to play the sport. At a minimal, you may 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 every thing else you need to do, like needing to craft 1000 objects for every crafting class, collect 1000 objects for all three gathering lessons, attain the max degree cap for one among each class function (Tank, DPS, Healer), and lastly, do a bunch ton of FATEs. As soon as all is alleged and performed, you may lastly get to say that platinum trophy for your self, however at what value?
