Eternal_Spoon Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I don't have this yet, but I can safely say that the Trophies themselves aren't hard, just very, very time consuming. Most people will also need a guide to do some of the things such as achieveing the True Ending (very very few people would actually do this out of pure luck, that's for sure). Hence, I decided to go with a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I don't have this yet Then why do you rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal_Spoon Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 My bad, I meant I don't have the platinum. I have the game, and have already poured tons of hours into it (can't actually check how many as the game doesn't tell you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBooBs Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Even with a fair amount of grinding, it can be a difficult game. On hard you're frequently ambushed, and with the wrong batch of baddies that can mean Game Over. There's also a villainous pink dragon and elementals that cause a great deal of pain, parry at 25% HP and generally ruin grinding in the areas they appear. Getting the true ending is also a bit difficult, even with a guide, as one slip up buggers your chances. That said, meticulous play with a good guide and maps will see you through. Paid DLC in the coming months will alleviate some of the difficulty, as will the official e-guide now that it's (mostly) fixed, though the lists are still rubbish. As it stands most trophies are easy but if you blow the true ending, you're looking at a full second playthrough.

Aidan Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Moderately difficult due to attention span, which in this game actually increases difficulty. Lots of twists and turns to take at precise moments in the game in order to unlock just about 50% of the trophies, if not more. Hard Mode, when not on NG+, is a bitch and not recommended for those without SRPG experience (due to the fact most SRPGs revolve around retarded amounts of upgrading, synthing, tweaking and abusing). The game itself is not easy, but can be accomplished with some trial and error. You need to definitely watch your steps, and you have to beat some seriously difficult bosses at end-game if your level isn't upgraded yet. So most people would say that this game isn't hard because you just have to grind, but in my eyes, that's just training to become better, which is no different than trying the same track in Wipeout HD 900 times before you master it. Both are just time consuming, but still difficult at first. 7.5/10, rounded up to 8 as a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoZophar Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I voted 5 since this is not to hard but you have to do alot grinding for your first game at hard and after that is very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolopecs Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Im voting 8 out of ten lol. Ive played the game and thought I was doing amazing but I think I messed up the true ending O.o so hence another playthrough for me. as for synthing and grinding extremely time consuming but Im willing to master it hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity_Disaster Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I voted a 8, its not difficult as such, but so time consuming to the point where its difficult to continue playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babygeez11 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 i voted an 8 as well , has to be the longest grind to achieve platinum on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeliana Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 *Extremely* time-consuming to Platinum. The DLC Costumes, Equipment etc. make it a smoother ride, but synthesis still takes a ridiculous amount of time, ~150 hours total if not more. This Platinum is not for the faint of heart, and you should have *a lot* of patience for farming materials, grinding, and navigating menus. 8/10.

Beserkerninja Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I would say 7 mostly because of the time it takes to get all the trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamzilla Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think it's safe to say this'll take a while. *pops the disc out* Time for something else. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokkit_ Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Very, very time consuming. Though you don't necessary have to play this game on Hard, it makes getting the platinum, much MUCH faster. Then again, Hard isn't very forgiving when you first start out. I've encountered so many boss fights where I'm at the point of giving up because they're just outright unfair. Verdict: 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Raiden Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 it's a real kick in the nuts........... i'm off to different things for a while, but i'll be back to play/finish this beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitmat Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Cross Edge is a relatively difficult one. Getting all the required ingredients to perform all synthesis' can be a bit tricky as well as getting the "True Ending". Getting the platinum is nearly impossible without a good guide.

V_Burgh Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I gave this a 9 difficulty. Simply due to the time investment needed to Plat this game. I think a lot of people would grow frustrated searching for obscure drop and monsters and put this game down before going for platinum. Hell I'm in the Post game on True Ending and have a few dozen items left to synth and I can't even seem to platinum it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I gave it a 6 because you pretty much have to make 0 mistakes to get the true ending, making a 400 hit combo requires the right characters that can help give you more hits, you would need to get a lot of money from grinding with beating enemies, finding like 150 items in your search, and just so many requirements.

ThirdWorldChrist Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Gave it an 8 ridiculously time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guttsu-87 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 8. The game will test your patience and your sanity more than your skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fohi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 im giving an 8 8. The game will test your patience and your sanity more than your skill. Guttsu-87 youve taken these words out of my mouth. I hate synthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grishrak Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I say 3, not counting the time it takes which is nothing for me because I played and beat Persona 3 FES in 180 hours. Then turned around and played it and beat it again 3 times in a row without playing another game in the mean time. I say 3 since the trophies aren't that hard to get. Understanding the battle system is harder then the trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugiwara84 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 9 or even a 10. This game tests your willpower to an insane degree, I did read that this game drives you insane with the synthesizing but I never imagined it would drive me this insane. The last week I've been synthesizing day in day out non stop. Spending hours on one single final weapon. Probably wasted 250-300+ hours on this game easily. Though getting the plat does feel good, I'm quite satisfied I finally got it. Easily replaces my proudest platinum which was Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 till now though I did find DW: G2 mission grinding a lot more fun of course.
