As a long-time fan of the Final Fantasy series, I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and anticipation upon hearing the news from Naoki Hamaguchi himself. After spending countless hours struggling to snatch that elusive Platinum Trophy in both the original Final Fantasy 7 and its remake, Rebirth, I’ve grown weary of the seemingly never-ending grind required to earn it.

In the upcoming third installment of the “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” series, the director assures players that earning the Platinum Trophy won’t be as challenging as it was in the initial games. The first two games within the trilogy have been a source of frustration for trophy hunters, with the Platinum Trophy in Rebirth being particularly difficult, according to the gaming community.

Among the most anticipated games of 2024, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth,” grabbed multiple honors at the Golden Joystick Awards held on November 21st. This second installment in the trilogy bagged awards for Best Storytelling and Best Soundtrack. The voice actors, Cody Christian (as Cloud) and Briana White (as Aerith), were recognized as Best Lead Performer and Best Supporting Performer respectively. With The Game Awards 2024 around the corner, this latest Square Enix creation is highly tipped for Game of the Year. As fans eagerly await the unnamed final chapter, the director of “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” has some exciting news for those looking forward to experiencing everything in Part 3.

Naoki Hamaguchi admitted during an interview with the Daily Star that the Platinum Trophy for Part 3 of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy won’t be as challenging. Despite taking most players about 70 hours to attain in the Remake, Rebirth was even more demanding, with many gamers reporting it could take up to 200 hours. Interestingly, only around 12% of all players have managed to earn the elusive Platinum Trophy for Rebirth according to PSN Profiles. Hamaguchi acknowledged that making the Platinum Trophy so hard was a mistake he regrets and won’t repeat in the future, stating he has learned from this experience.

The Director of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Promises an Easier Platinum Trophy in Part 3

In February 2024, following the launch of “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth”, a glitch in the “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” side mission made it impossible for players to earn the Platinum trophy. Despite the issue being fixed later, the elusive achievement continued to cause distress among players, who often expressed their dissatisfaction on social media platforms about this particular trophy. The majority of player annoyance wasn’t due to challenging battles but rather the game’s numerous mini-games, some of which were found to be extremely finicky. The piano mini-game in “Rebirth” has consistently been a point of contention for fans, with many complaining about its unresponsive controls.

Information about the third part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is scarce, but industry insiders predict it will be released towards the end of 2027 or the beginning of 2028. Director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that there won’t be any DLC for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth; instead, the entire team is dedicated to completing the final game in the trilogy. In April, the game’s producer, Yoshinori Kitase, revealed that the main storyline for Part 3 had already been finished. He added that having the same staff as the previous installments was expediting development and making the process smoother.
