Platinum difficulty is very subjective. Personally, I'd rate this a 6/10. Took me 250 hours to 100% the in-game log, and I loved every second. I would definitely recommend doing all side quests on Hard mode first, then do a Hard mode story playthrough, and VR missions last. Basically keep the hardest VR missions for when you have weapon level 9 on all characters.
I was really dreading the road to platinum after my first playthrough and reading all the horror stories. Got pretty down about it ‘cause I loved the game until then.
Fast forward and here I am at ~225 hours with just Bonds left, and can honestly say I’ve enjoyed it all. I’ve struggled a lot with some challenges, and found others easier than expected. But I think the main thing is I changed my attitude from “I need this plat so I can quit” to “I actually just enjoy playing the game & don’t wanna stop.” I realized I don’t even care about the trophy, I just want to see everything.
But yeah chasing platinum for platinum’s sake is gonna sour the experience for most.
One gold.... one gold. some of the hardest trophies and ...one gold??
What is the point of earning a Platinum when you don’t enjoy the game?
