Easy platinums if you're decent to good at the games. I finally picked the collection up, but unfortunately the games are very buggy compared to their PS2 counterparts.

I don't recall much bugginess from them apart from an issue with the sound at times. At the end of Sly 1, you'd hear this annoying static/buzzing noise during the final battle, and all the earlier sections of Sly 3 suffered the same problem.

I ran into a lot of them in all three games, most of them in Sly 3. Falling through floor panels, camera twitches and reset problems, character models disappearing, etc. I actually only had that static noise problem once and that was in Sly 2. I just reset the file and had no problems ever since.

Weird. The static noise thing was permanent for me. At least in Sly 3 anyway. Venice is cursed to sound annoying as possible forever.

Dat was quick.

there's a 3x speed mode. it's a godsend for grinding.

+ there's an awesome grinding spot in Northern Cave, which has 1 enemy that gives 1000AP, 17000 GIL if you have the GIL+ materia and quite some experience too. and it often comes in a group of 2. In the same area there's also Tonberries, good for money and EXP, and also a group of 5 enemies that can be killed in 1 blow, and they don't give EXP, but they give 2400AP and 180,000 GIL.

If you grind there in 3x speed it's pretty good for getting money and leveling your materia's so you can take on the weapons. It also takes like half an hour to master an ALL materia which sells for 1,400,000GIL so that's pretty handy for the trophy where you need to get 99,999,999 GIL.

With EXP+ materia you'll get a character to level 99 pretty quick as well for one of the other trophies.


This is my total time played, and I did absolutely everything:

FFVII used to be one of the biggest games in the world; I remember it feeling like a never-ending epic. The fact that it can be done 100% in less than 25 hours is genuinely surprising.

as I said, I did use 3x speed a lot, but it doesn't affect the actual game time. Without 3x times speed, my game time would be at least double this.

Ah, I's assumed the 3x speed thing would have affected the in-game counter as well. If not, then seventy+ hours sounds rather more like it.

yeah, I might've worded it a bit weird, but I was just illustrating that 3x speed is handy if you want to get it done fast.

But yeah, if it was all game time, I would've probably spent at least 60 hours I think. for example, when I started breeding chocobos I started with a Wonderful and a Great and I raced them both to rank A and i only realised when breeding that I needed a great and a good for a blue/green one, so i had to go catch a good one and feed it and race it again, which would've taken quite some of my time if not for 3x speed.


Anyways, all in all, this was an easy game to platinum, I think the most difficult things probably were the Weapons and choosing the right answers to get Barret for the Golden Saucer date. The GIL/leveling grinding was just tedious.
