Details

Road Map

Depending on skill and how much you explore, the Platinum in this game will take you around 70-100 hours to obtain. The game itself is pretty straight forward as it’s mostly linear except for the side quests. The game requires two full playthroughs, once on Normal difficulty, and then on Hard (which only unlocks after the first playthrough). Chapter select can be used to obtain any missable trophies once it’s unlocked after the first playthrough.

Step 1: Normal Playthrough

Start the game in Normal difficulty and aim to complete all the side quests in this play, this will make obtaining Best in the Business (Silver) trophy obtainable in the second step.

Keep a note of which dresses are obtained for Chapter 9 as you will need to make sure the other six dresses are obtained in subsequent plays to unlock the Dressed to the Nines (Silver) trophy (see the trophy for more details below). Be sure to also complete all the Johnny related side-quests in this playthrough for The Johnny Experience (Bronze), which will also help towards the Divine Gratitude (Bronze) trophy.

Follow the Disc Jockey (Silver) instructions below to obtain all the music discs, but don’t worry if you miss any as these can be found again in Step 2. You should also compete as many of the Colosseum and Shinra Combat challenges as possible (some will be locked to Hard mode).

This playthrough is also the best time to complete all of Chadley’s Intel challenges to get Intelligence Agent (Silver). You won’t be able to get all the weapons for Weapons Expert (Silver) until you are far into the game, but be sure to rotate between the weapons to master all the Weapon Abilities to make this trophy easier to get in Step 2.

This will be your longest playthrough due to the vast number of things that need to be completed, taking you 40-60 hours (if you don’t skip the cutscenes).

Step 2: Hard Playthrough

Once Hard mode has been unlocked, use Chapter Select to choose Chapter 1 and play the entire game again in Hard mode.

For Dressed to the Nines (Silver) trophy, you need to obtain the next three dresses in Chapter 3 onwards. You should complete all the side quests in Chapter 3 so you can choose a different dress for Tifa, and complete only three of the side quests in Chapter 8 to get Aerith’s second dress.

Be sure to choose the second set of side-quests in Wall Market (either Madam M or Chocobo Sam) so that you can unlock Best in the Business (Silver) trophy.

In this playthrough, you should complete the Hard mode Shinra Combat Simulator challenges to obtain the following:

Before the end of this playthrough, you should have also earned:

Complete the game to get the Hardened Veteran (Gold) trophy. At the end of this playthrough, hopefully you will have obtained six of the nine dresses required for the Dressed to the Nines (Silver) trophy.

Step 3: Chapter Select / Cleanup

Use Chapter Select to jump to Chapter 3 and replay this chapter (on any difficulty) without doing any of the side-quests (to get Tifa’s basic outfit). At the end of this Chapter, you can skip to Chapter 8 and complete no side-quests for Aerith’s basic dress. Finally, in Chapter 9, complete no side-quests to get Cloud’s basic dress.

Use Chapter Select to skip around and obtain any remaining trophies that you’ve missed, for example, the Whack-a-Box, Squat challenge and Pull up challenge related trophies.

Missable. The Chocobo & Moogle summon materia can be found in Chapter 6 before taking the cargo platform to Reactor 5 (you will have to turn off the sunlamps first). Look for the secret area to the right of the elevator. You need to deactivate the two control panels before you can access the materia.

After deactivating the first panel you will have 60 seconds to reach the second panel and deactivate it, however, there is a mini boss battle here so you will definitely run out of time.

Leave the room and activate the first panel again. This time around, you will have easier enemies so you should be able to deactivate the second panel within the 60 seconds. Enter the turbine room after the second panel is deactivated and you will find the summon materia just under the blades of the fan.

You will need to get 30,000 points in the mini-game for the trophy to pop, which isn’t actually very hard. Just remember to time your strikes, save your abilities for the large 1,500 point boxes, and roll between the stacks to save time.

Say it with Flowers (Bronze)

The trophy will pop when you’ve defeated Shiva.

Complete all squat challenges.

In Chapter 9 Wall Market, head to the gym opposite the Karaoke bar to find three body builders, who you can challenge. In order to get this trophy, you will have to beat two of the guys in a total of three squat challenges. The first two are fairly easy, but the Pro challenge leaves little room for mistakes.

The trick is to try and follow the button sequence without making any mistakes. The more sequences you get correct in a row, the faster you can squat. If you make a mistake, you will fall over and lose valuable seconds. In the Pro challenge, you don’t have time to make any mistakes.

Dancing Queen (Bronze)

Dressed to the Nines (Silver)
Obtain all nine bridal candidate outfits.

This trophy requires you to play Chapters 3, 8 and 9 three times each to get all nine outfit combinations. If you choose to Chapter Select to get all the combinations, note that you will need to complete the chapter until the end for the outfit to lock-in. It is also recommended that you go for the hardest outfits in your first playthrough so you are closer to earning the Best in the Business trophy, and therefore making the other outfits easier to get in subsequent playthroughs.

In Chapter 3, you must complete all the side quests with Tifa to choose what outfit Tima will wear in Chapter 9. The default choice is the Mature outfit. Choose the sporty outfit for the revealing Japanese style black dress, and exotic for the short Kimono-style dress.

For Aerith, the outfit she wears is dependent on how many side quests you complete in Chapter 8. If you complete all of them, Aerith will wear the most impressive red dress in Chapter 9. Complete 3 side quests for the less impressive pink dress, and no side quests for the plain pink outfit.

Finally, for Cloud, the outfits depends on who’s side quests you complete. For the best black and blue dress, you need to complete “The Party Never Stops”, “Dynamite Body” and “Burning Thighs” side quests from Chocobo Sam.

To get the less impressive white and purple dress, you need to complete “The Price of Thievery”, “Shears’ Counterattack” and “Burning Thighs” side quests from Madam M.

Finally, to get the simple black dress, you don’t need to complete any side quests. Just leave Madam M’s massage parlour and attempt to re-enter after a few seconds.

Whack-a-Box Wunderkind (Bronze)
Complete all Hard difficulty Whack-a-Box challenges.

In Chapter 14, you are able to return to the gym to complete a new set of challenges. You need to beat the three people in the gym in increasing difficulty, starting with Andrea.

In the Pro challenge, you will need to complete the challenge perfectly without making any mistakes. Your aim is to achieve around 44-45 pull-ups as Jules will complete between 41 to 44 pull-ups while making a couple of mistakes.

Divine Gratitude (Bronze)
Receive a letter from an angel.

In Chapter 8, you will get the opportunity to complete a side quest for Damon (located outside the cafe closest to Leaf House). You will need to fight a boss and find a letter from the Angel.

You will need to complete all the side quests up and including the ones in Chapter 14. The main one is to raid Corneo’s stash and then return to Marle to give her the tiaras. Then, one the way to Sector 7, before you use the grappling hook (point of no return), you should see a envelope on the floor.

The trophy will pop after picking up the envelope.

The Johnny Experience (Bronze)
Whiteness all Johnny-related incidents.

The first Johnny incident occurs in Chapter 3 with Tifa, when the Shinra officers take Johnny away to be integrated.

You will encounter Johnny again in Chapter 9 when you reach Wall Market, outside the Honeybee Inn, and several other times in this chapter as you progress through the story.

The final Johnny incident will be in the Sector 5 Station. Johnny has lost his wallet and you must get it back from the girl who stole it. This involves tracking down the girl who’s hiding out in Aerith’s church, and the fight a battle for her in Corneo’s Colosseum. Return to her afterwards to get a key to Corneo’s stash and Johnny’s wallet. Return to Johnny and given him the wallet back for the trophy to pop.

Best in the Business (Silver)
Complete all quests.

This trophy requires to complete all the side quests in the game, but there’s a catch. The side quests in Chapter 9 have to different sets, so this chapter will need to be replayed in order to complete all the quests. On your first playthrough, keep an eye on which quests you do, so when you return via Chapter Select, you can do the opposite.

At most, you will be able to complete 24 out of the 26 missions. Once Chapter Select is available, return to Chapter 9 and try and access the missing side quests:

If you talk to Johnny outside the Honeybee Inn, you will get the side quests from Chocobo Sam. These are: Burning Thighs, The Party Never Stops, A Dynamite Body.

If you ignore Sam where ever you can, and get the expensive massage from Madam M, she will be the one giving you the side quests, which are: Burning Thighs, The Price of Thievery, and Shears’ Counterattack.

Building Character (Bronze)
Attain level 50 with a character.

This trophy will require some grinding if you are not able to reach level 50 with the two playthroughs required (Easy/Normal mode + Hard mode) to earn the majority of the game’s trophies.

However, it is very likely that you will earn this naturally in the Hard mode playthrough as you get bonus EXP in this mode. The trophy will pop once any character reached Level 50, which is the maximum level in the game.

Staggering Feat (Bronze)
Deal 300% damage to a staggered enemy.

This trophy can be achieved in the Fat Chocobo VR Mission using Tifa, Cloud and Barret. You need to get 300% stagger, but the default is only 160%. In order to build it up to 300%, you need to use Tifa and her weapon abilities to build it up quickly.

The strategy is to build up Tifa’s ATB and use Unbridled Strength twice and wait for the ATB to build up again. Once full, unleash her triangle move twice once the Fat Chocobo is staggered (this should add 30% stagger per attach). Then, use Tifa’s “True Strike” ability twice to build it up another 30%. You may need to do this a third time to reach 300%. Fat Chocobo is the best boss to do this with as their stagger lasts the longest, giving you enough time to use Tifa’s abilities.

Intelligence Agent (Silver)
Complete all battle intel reports.

There are 20 battle reports to complete in total, given to you by Chadley in Sectors 5, 6 and 7. Most of them should be fairly straight forward to complete by following the requirements, but the harder ones will require you to battle various Summons (in particular Leviathan and Bahamut).

The good thing is that some of the later research tasks may be completed automatically before you even obtain them (the game tracks the requirements from the beginning, even if the task hasn’t been unlocked yet).

The other time consuming ones are acquiring 16 weapon abilities (see Weapons Expert trophy), and mastering all 12 types of magic materia. These two may require some grinding to unlock, but should be achievable in the Hard mode playthrough.

Weapons  Expert (Silver)
Learn all weapon abilities.

Final Fantasy VII Remake has a total of 24 weapons, with each of the four playable characters having 6 weapons each. Some of the weapons can easily be earned via the story and speaking to weapon shop owners, but the final weapons are harder to comeby.

In order to get this trophy, you must get 100% proficient will each of the weapons, which requires you to use the special ability that comes with the weapon.

Weapons List:

Once you master the 24 weapon abilities, the trophy will pop. This trophy isn’t difficult to obtain once you have all the weapons, you just need to make sure you cycle through each weapon to master all the skills.

Master of Mimicry (Silver)
Learn all enemy skills.

There are 4 enemy skills you can learn by having the Enemy Skills materia equipped (from Chadley by completing Battle Intel Report 16). The first three can easily be gained by normal play, but the fourth and final one can only be unlocked in Hard mode.

  1. Spirit Siphon – Learned from Phantom in Chapter 14 (Missing Children Side Quest, found in the grave yard)
  2. Self-Destruct – Learned from Smogger in Chapter 14 in the Sector 5 Slums area (Intel Gathering mission).
  3. Algid Aura – Learned from Cerulean Drake in Chapter 15, or in Corneo Colosseum (Wild Animals).
  4. Bad Breath – Learned from Malboro via the Combat Simulator in Chapter 1. Malboro is available only on Hard difficulty under the battle “Three-Person Team vs. Monsters of Legend”.

That’s the Smell (Silver)
Defeat a marlboro.

See Master of Mimicry trophy above. This trophy requires you to beat Malboro in the Combat Simulator in Hard mode.

Ultimate Weapon (Gold)
Defeat the Pride and Joy prototype

The Pride and Joy battle is only available in Hard Mode from the Shinra Combat Simulator in Chapter 17 (Hojo’s Lab). In order to access this battle, you must have previously completed all the Corneo Colosseum challenges and Shina Combat Simulator challenges.

The Combat Simulator in Chapter 17 can be accessed near the start of Chapter 17 when you meet Chadley (on subsequent playthroughs). Instead of proceeding to the main elevator, head to the room on the right of the main path (the map will show this as Combat Simulator).

The battles before you get to Pride and Joy will be the hardest, especially Bahamut, who’s Mega Flare move will knock out your players if you aren’t using Manawall. The general strategy for the five battles in this challenge should follow:

Hardened Veteran (Gold)
Complete all chapters on Hard difficulty.

Hard mode can be unlocked by completing the game for the first time. This will require a second playthrough of the game, completing all 18 chapters on Hard difficulty.

You won’t be able to start a new game in Hard Mode, but loading Chapter 1 using Chapter Select will allow you to play the entire game again in Hard Mode. You will have to complete the entire Chapter, and at the end you will see a notification that the Chapter has been completed in Hard Mode.

You can keep track of which Chapters have been completed in Hard Mode using Chapter Select. This is particularly useful if you choose to skip around in order to complete some of the other trophies that require multiple playthroughs.
