Final Fantasy 16 Trophy Guide: All PS5 Trophies and How to Get the Platinum

Final Fantasy 16 has a total of 69 Trophies to collect, including the precious Platinum. There are 50 Trophies in the base set, six for the Echoes of the Fallen DLC, and 13 for The Rising Tide DLC. The Trophies for the DLC packs are not required to earn the Platinum. In this part of our Final Fantasy 16 Trophy guide, we're going to list all Trophies and how to get the Platinum, while also answering some crucial questions you may have about the game, like whether there are any missable or difficulty-related Trophies.

Does Difficulty Affect Trophies?

For your first time playing through it, Final Fantasy 16 has only one difficulty. That being said, you can lower the level of challenge by equipping special items, which make certain combat actions much easier to pull off. Using these does not affect Trophies, so feel free to take advantage of them if you're struggling. For more info, see our guide: Final Fantasy 16: How to Change Difficulty, Difficulty Accessories.

After you beat the game, you unlock a harder difficulty named Final Fantasy, which you can only play in New Game + mode. There is a Trophy named Fantasy, Finally that requires you to complete the game on this higher difficulty setting.

This means that, in order to get the Platinum Trophy and complete the list, you need to beat the game twice — once normally, and the other on Final Fantasy difficulty on New Game +. To make this a little easier, you can use the difficulty-altering items mentioned above during your New Game + run.

Are There Any Missable Trophies?

Final Fantasy 16 does not have any missable Trophies. After you complete the game, you can load your "clear game" save file, which will return you to just before the final main quest. From here, you can complete any outstanding side quests, defeat notorious marks from the hunt board, and roam the world in search of treasures and crafting materials. Many of the Trophies relate to specific feats achieved during combat, and there are always opportunities to go out into the world and pick a fight to nab these.

Roadmap

Final Fantasy 16's Trophy list is one that you can (mostly) complete in one playthrough. There are several related to story moments, so they'll unlock as you progress. A lot of the list is made up of very specific combat feats, so you will need to experiment with new Eikons and abilities to get all of these. They're not too tricky, and you may get many of them through normal play.

Then there are Trophies for, essentially, completing all the optional side activities in the game. This includes completing most of the side quests and beating all the notorious mark hunts. These lead to completing other Trophies, such as crafting the best sword in the game and unlocking numerous extra rewards. Obtaining these Trophies is not difficult, but will add a considerable number of hours to your play time.

As mentioned above, there is one Trophy that necessitates a second playthrough on New Game + and with the Final Fantasy difficulty enabled. This should be your last one, as the rest of the list is pretty straightforward.
