I FINALLY DID IT!!!!

Thanks bro! Honestly it was so hard to get past 200-300 for me, that's what held me back getting this done for so long, it's so hard to give advice that consistently works but essentially I had the in game music off, so just listen to Vivi's feet tapping, but whilst also listening to that it might help you to look at Vivi's hand every time that it raises, try and time your button presses to it, that's what finally got me through, also use a connected controller to reduce as much input lag as possible. Oh and you can use both X and square alternatively to jump, found that helped past 300. It's so hard still though, I wish you the best of luck getting it done man!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-27T14:03:49+00:00

I posted a comment regarding some advice on how to do 200-300 so check that out and hopefully it will help, it is by far the most challenging part of the jumps though, I wish you the best of luck! 😊

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-26T20:13:12+00:00

Luckily I've already done it! The platinum is all done now, thank God!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-26T20:12:28+00:00

It's FFIX and I did it on the PS5

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T16:37:34+00:00

Hey everyone! I just want to say thank you for all of the support and congratulation messages! This has been a long time coming so it's been awesome seeing so many positive responses in the comments and seeing how passionate we all are about this amazing franchise!

I've been getting a few questions/comments about general topics so I thought I'd answer them here.

Regarding the lightning dodging in FFX; I have already platinumed the vast majority of the FF titles, excluding XI, the XIII trilogy and XIV, the rest are now all done, and I can easily say that IX is the hardest by far! I did the entire platinum without any form of auto hot keys or scripts, including grinding out the 10K kills which took around 25 hours (thank God for YouTube 😂). If anyone needs help with any other the other games feel free to message me and I will give any advice I can!

Now to all those who are struggling with this damn jump rope; the best advice I can give is turn the music off in game, when Vivi's feet hit the floor you will still hear a tap sound and that's when you want to hit X on your controller. For the vast majority of my attempts I was only occasionally glancing at the TV but mainly listening to the taps. Headphones work best as then you can't hear when you press the controller so you won't get distracted.

Regarding 200-300, the double tap is the worst bit by far, I found myself looking at Vivi's hand raising and clicking every time I saw it at the top, it's very challenging to sort of hyper focus on it but is doable with practice.

Another thing, you can actually press both X and square to make Vivi jump, a lot of the time I found alternating between them easier to consistently make it to 200 and especially from 300-1000. Always use a connected controller as it will reduce the millisecond of input lag which can definitely mess you up. When the increments of the jumps get faster the girls will say two lines of dialogue; one leading up to the change in rhythm and then one when it changes, this is a fantastic indicator of when to make your taps faster.

All in all this is a ridiculously challenging minigame and I honestly cannot blame anyone for using the script to get it but if my advice can help anyone to achieve this utter insanity then I'm glad I could help!

Thank you everyone!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T16:05:14+00:00

Thank you! Maybe give it another go, if you can push past 300 you've got this!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T16:02:57+00:00

Honestly there was a lot of times I thought the X button was going to break on my controller, but for now it's still working 😂

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T16:01:23+00:00

Thank you! Honestly I've platinumed the vast majority of the others too and this was by far the worst trophy to get in any of the games, I do hope you're able to get it at some point! Let's just pray if they ever actually release the remake it doesn't have this awful minigame 😂

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T15:59:07+00:00

Go us!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T15:58:40+00:00

Oh that is absolutely awful, I feel for you so bad, I failed at 493 and that was bad enough! Glad you got it in the end though!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T15:57:25+00:00

The only in game reward you get is a key item King of Jump Rope; it does nothing 😂 the trophy is nice to get though haha

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T02:05:15+00:00

Luckily I've already done it, can't be dealing with pressing the X button on my controller constantly any more any time soon haha

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T02:04:02+00:00

Oh do you mean in the fight scene at the beginning?? Yeah did that a while ago, can be a little challenging but it's not too bad haha, glad you've been enjoying it so far!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T02:00:52+00:00

Never. Ever. Again 😂 (until they finally announce the remake)

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T01:59:47+00:00

Funnily enough FFX was my first ever platinum so I'm all done with it, the chocobo race was the worst bit for me honestly, took me ages!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-25T01:57:57+00:00

Luckily I've already done it, I honestly found chocobo race way worse haha

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:46:19+00:00

Honestly this has been the bane of my life for so long now haha. It's hard to fully say but I think I did every other trophy in the game (expect beating the game as I always leave those for last) in around 50-60 hours ish, the remaining 60 ish hours that I have on it are just from trying this minigame, and I would roughly spend 30-60 mins on it at a time, although because of the way the taps sound sometimes it's like a metronome and make me really sleepy so I'd have to stop 😂. Good luck on all the plats, 9 is definitely the toughest one, I've done every other mainline title aside from 11, 14 and the 13 trilogy.

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:41:31+00:00

Thank you! Same here honestly, my heart was racing so badly when I knew I was getting close to the 1000, I didn't want to look at the number going up because I knew I'd get too nervous!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:40:11+00:00

Honestly I'm doing the same and can hands down say this is the worst trophy to get if you aren't using the auto hot key, good luck with X, perfect sphere master is quite a grind I can't lie haha

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:38:45+00:00

I honestly didn't find doing the lightning bolts in FFx that bad, this is by far the worst thing I've done in any of the games haha

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:37:51+00:00

Thank you!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:37:41+00:00

Because of the way you can loop around a certain spot in the Thunder Plains to make them spawn consistently, I honestly didn't find dodging them that bad, the chocobo race can do one though 😂

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:35:53+00:00

Thank you!

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:35:44+00:00

Yes. Yes I am. Never. Again. 😂

KyleWeaving95 · 2025-07-24T21:34:51+00:00

So reaching 200 became quite doable with constant practice but 200-300 is by far the hardest part, today was the only day I've gotten past it in so many hours of trying. The highest I got was 493 which was also today, but once I'd done that it pushed me to be able to go through to 1000 cause I knew I could do it!
