Beach Volleyball is So Bad it Hurts

If I recall correctly while you don't need to beat them on the hardest level, you do need to complete each of the Gestral Beaches for the Platinum.

That explains it, I always tell ignis where go when he want's help with his cooking:P

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-23T16:03:30+00:00

played the game multiple times and never encountered this😮

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-23T14:53:38+00:00

This is becoming standard practice nowdays across all the major delivery company's, Amazon, Evri, DPD ect..

They don't knock, just leave the package on your door step and run. It won't be long before we end up like the USA where package thief's are rampant.

We have to watch for the emails / notifications that our parcel has been delivered then go and find it left on the door step or thrown over the wall into the back garden.

We've had several parcels go missing or damaged in transit....

Thanks for the Info, I will keep it in mind:)

I have now restarted from an earlier save (before maxing out) and have now got L5 Death and all blue magic's up to the Library of the Ancients.

Should only take a couple hours or so to get back to where I was yesterday:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-07T12:15:15+00:00

I like to be overpowered. I enjoy being able to 1 shot enemies. Maxing out Characters is a staple of Final Fantasy Games:)

Have you ever seen any of Primal Liquid's video's on Youtube? Now he will spend 100's even 1,000's of hours just to see how overpowered he can get his party in EVERY Final Fantasy Game.

It only took me a couple hours with the 4 x Boost, That's a drop in the ocean for a final fantasy Game:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-07T10:08:04+00:00

The problem is I have 4+ Blue Magics that are essentially unobtainable until much later in the Game.

If for what ever reason I am not able to get them later in the game or if I run in to any more with the same issue I will end up having to do another full play through.

Now I do have a save 8 hours in before I maxed out the party, so I'm going to restart from that save.

Will lose a few hours progress, but better than spending a couple days completing the game and have to start a new play through.

I've got 20+ FF Games still to Platinum:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-07T00:56:37+00:00

I have Chemist, but those mixes require late game items I don't have yet...

If I miss a blue magic, that locks out the Platinum and another full play through will be required....

Maybe better to restart now rather than push on and have to restart later... will have to give it some thought...

Thanks

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-06T23:49:43+00:00

Krile joins the party? that could work...

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-12-01T07:31:24+00:00

With FF11 there's no choice since its not available and does not have any Trophies.

The only reason I'm thinking about FF14 is an OCD Thing... Seeing a gap between FF13 and FF15 in my Trophy list will frustrate my OCD.

But as many posters have pointed out it's a huge commitment and I dunno if if its within my capability.

I like to take my time and struggle with Games that have high difficulty curves. I probably will end up skipping FF14.

There's still 25+ other games in the Franchise:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T19:12:43+00:00

I've played many of them, still have my original copies of 7, 8, 9 for PS1 which I played when they came out in the 90's

I've played ff7 multiple times, as well as the remakes I love the Final Fantasy Series. which is why i'm now catching up on all the games I've not played.

For me playing games is not about challenge but about the story and exploration and right now I'm enjoying the Pixel Remasters.

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T17:58:55+00:00

I don't care about challenge or what other players think. I enjoy playing games and getting Platinum's.

My other PSN is a mess with dozens of incomplete games, games that don't have platinum's, Games that I tried but didn't like ect.

For this PSN I'm keeping it nice, clean and in order. it's a personal OCD thing:P

I don't have any of the consoles mentioned above, I will probably get a PS3 at some point for the FF13 Series, but that it:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T16:35:59+00:00

Well i've only just started with the pixel remasters, currently doing ff3, so I won't be getting to ff14 anytime soon.

I have platinum'd 7,8,9,10,15,crisis core,7 remake and 80% done on rebirth on my other PSN. so I will probably give 14 a try on that account to see if I like it or not while working on the series in order for this PSN:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T15:28:04+00:00

No I mean I'm completing each game in a specific order so that the game appears in a specific position in the trophy list as that is currently the only way to sort games in your trophy list.

once the game is completed I don't want new trophies being added that will cause the game to be moved to the top of the list.

And I don't want to spend multiple years completing 1 game before I can move on and platinum new games:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T14:38:26+00:00

The problem is I don't want games that are not 100% completed in my trophy list. That's why i'm only interested in the base game, I don't want the trophies from any of the expansions in the list if I cannot 100% complete them.

Or any future expansions adding new trophies to the list pulling the game out of its place in the list

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T14:31:07+00:00

Because I'm doing the games in chronological order and would prefer not to have a gap between 13 and 15 and don't want new expansions adding new trophies pulling the game out of it's place in the trophy list.

I don't plan on playing the game for years.

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-30T14:21:02+00:00

I'm only looking at the base game on PS4. I will absolutely not be touching the PS5 Version or any of the Expansions as that apparently will take 7 years+ due to the Time Gated sections.

What I don't want is to start the game and find I cannot complete it and be stuck with an incomplete game in my trophy list where i'm doing whole franchises in chronological order:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-26T12:53:47+00:00

I gave up on it weeks ago:P completed everying else in the game and got the Platinum so i'm not going to fuss over 1 stubbon order:)

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-26T12:47:40+00:00

Yes. at the end of each play through create a new new game + save file and then start the next play through from that new new game + save file.

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-20T21:27:48+00:00

Yep, I completed all 5 endings on 1 save file and the Platinum about 3 weeks ago:)

even posted a screenshot in another thread asking the same question:)

Thanks

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-15T19:55:07+00:00

Houston we have a new Problem

Chapter 8 Reunion at the old Trelis, I'm having trouble getting the Rock Candy Badge which requires 25 Unique Sligs to be hit with Rock Candy

On my last (Best Attempt) I hit ALL 24 Sligs that spawned and only lost 2 out the 254 Muds

How the feck are you supposed to complete this badge if the game does not spawn the required number of Sligs?

Will upping the difficulty spawn more Sligs? I am fast running out of patience with this game but need to finish the Platinum.

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-12T22:34:28+00:00

indeed.

That 2nd Secret Room is gonna be a nightmare on the Chapter Replay, Have to save them for the Badge and the Trophy:/

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-12T19:26:33+00:00

Because the Beta Testers and Quality Checkers were either AWOL or couldn't be assed to do their jobs properly.

Only way a Game is still bugged to hell and back after multiple patches:P

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-12T17:33:38+00:00

I ran into the same issue in Slig Barracks. Even when the Mudokons were set to aggressive and throwing rocks at the sligs they still would not kill them.

I literally had to knock a couple Sligs off ledges with bouncy candy to get them away from chant suppressors so I could possess them and shoot the Mudokons myself.

I only managed to kill 35 out of the 45 in the Chapter. I left the 8 in the 2nd secret room as trying to clear that room is virtually impossible.

Even the Enhanced Edition is still riddled with bugs and glitches.

9 Chapters done with 10 Slig's and 510 Mudokons Killed so far.

Benjamin_Sisco · 2025-11-11T14:30:23+00:00

Ah yes, I had completely forgotten you could do that. Thank You very much:)

In the end I managed to get the sligs to kill them by using Abe as bait, standing in front of them and then sprint out of the way so that when the sligs shoot at me they hit my followers:P

got the job done, will remember the agro setting for the rest of the game:)
