Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Be Easier to Platinum Than Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will reportedly offer an easier path to the Platinum trophy compared to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, according to game director Naoki Hamaguchi. In an interview with Anime News Network, Hamaguchi addressed why only 2.6% of PS5 players had achieved the Platinum trophy in Rebirth, citing the particularly challenging post-game VR boss gauntlets that demanded near-perfect play throughout the experience.
While Hamaguchi stands by Rebirth’s design decisions that created these difficulties, he has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will take a different approach to make the Platinum trophy more attainable for players. The shift reflects developer recognition that while maintaining challenging content can be valuable, making trophy achievements accessible to a broader portion of the player base remains an important consideration for future entries in the remake trilogy. This adjustment demonstrates how developers balance difficulty and accessibility in long-form RPG experiences.
