Platinum Difficulty Rating - Page 3

I gave it a 7. Not to difficult, but definitely time consuming. Survivalist can be a pain. Fashion Victim involves luck, but trading with other users can help get it a little faster.

this game is just amazingly long im almost 60% through the trophy list atm the only real problem ive had so far is that its really time consuming although i havent reached niob difficulty yet, its quite easy to get hooked into aswell EDIT: i gave it a 6 cause from were im stood the last few trophies dont seem that untouchable

Gave it an 8. I had 86 hours in my Niob SW (dark) about 10 hours on my Inquisitor (light) + 2-3 hrs each getting the rest of the classes to lvl 15. It was nearly 120 hours for the platinum.

I gave this a 9! Not absolutely hard in gameplay terms, but so so time consuming it can be a real test of mental strength if you don't love the game as i didn't. Minimum of 3 playthroughs (i think) so if ya bought this and already hate it, i suggest you have a spare controller at hand incase your primary 1 goes out the window!

Atleast i got the

Gave it a 6. I don't have the plat yet, but all I need to do is level my Seraphim 3 more lvls and I'll get it.

The trophies aren't really that hard exept perhaps finding all temples, and thats only if you don't use "teh internet". The biggest hurdle for me was the amount of time needed. And before y'all go that doesn't mean it's hard an' all that, let me just say: Hell yeah it does!!. If I feel that makes it hard, then it does. Simple as that. I've become bored with the game, but only needed the Niob, temple and three of the 'lvl 15' trophies, so I continued. Hard hard hard.

I'm going to rate this game a 7 out of 10 in terms of difficulty. 5 of those points are due to the time involved. It took me approximately 120+ hours to get this platinum making it one of the longest on my list.

The other 2 points come from having to reach Niob level on my own without boosting. This isn't as difficult as I had initially thought it would be. If you have a decent character build with a good set of items than you shouldn't have to struggle too much.

One word of caution to those considering going for platinum on this game: THE ESTIMATE TIME TO PLATINUM IN THE TROPHY GUIDE IS SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED. I sincerely doubt anyone has ever achieved this platinum in 50 hours. It will take you more like 75 hours as a minimum, and that is if you have managed to find someone to boost you to Niob. If not this game can become exponentially longer depending on whether you managed to make a good character build. Without boosting this game will be a minimum of 100-120+ hrs to platinum.

*Votes 7*

The hardest thing about the game is having patience to keep grinding ><

to Abuebao: I got the boost to niob dif but got all the other trophies by myself. took me 60 hours all in all. the last trophy would probably include 5hours of grinding for another 15lvls and another "storyquests only run" which would prolly take around 5hours aswell. So no I don't think the time is seriously underrated

Yeah you are partly right. I should have mentioned that you could go A LOT faster if you didn't stop to kill every critter that shoves itself in your way. You could save a lot of time if you just ignore all the enemies and head straight to your objective.

I should have also mentioned that I got lost quite a few times when trying to find the temples and mini-bosses scattered across Ancaria. I also intentionally didn't use the teleporters much during my first playthrough because I wanted to level up for Niob difficulty. I thought it would be fair though to let everyone know that USUALLY most people don't get plat in 50 hours.

i would rate it 8. without boosting niob it could be pain in ass. anyway game is worth this 90h+

Voted an 8 as well.

Although having said that Im working on platting this game a second time. Great replay value.
