The as-yet-unnamed successor, the final chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, won't suck the lifestream out of players to unlock its Platinum Trophy. That's according to director Naoki Yamaguchi, anyway, who apologised for the pain he put persistent Trophy Hunters through in Rebirth.
In an impressive get, the British tabloid Daily Star (Hi, Lloyd!) sat down for an exclusive chat with the director, who admitted to at least one fault in his otherwise great most recent game: "I think there is one other thing actually, which I can say was a mistake on my part, something that I've already apologised for - and I definitely will not do again, which is how difficult I made it to get the Platinum Trophy. Rest assured, I have learned from that, and in future, I will not be making Platinum Trophies that difficult."
We salute those who pursue worthy Platinum Trophies and are ready and able to assist in this undertaking if you think you've got what it takes. Still, according to the specialists over at PowerPyx, Rebirth's Platinum will take you about 150-200 hours to unlock, rated 7.5 in terms of difficulty. For comparison, PowerPyx says Remake's Platty was a more manageable 60-70 hours, rated 6.5; perhaps something more along those lines for the final chapter.
