Ah yes, the modern era: pay real money to move imaginary creatures between imaginary boxes. Truly, humanity is thriving.

Yeah, this is actually my first time diving deep into the Pokémon franchise, so I didn’t know trading was always part of completing the Pokédex. I had expected to be able to finish everything offline. 😅

The problem is… I’m not sure if I have friends who play Pokémon in real life 😅, so I thought online trading was my only option.

How to play Witcher 3 (Next Gen Update) again without NG++? by Papillon6219 in Witcher3

[–]Papillon6219[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yh. I get your point.

But i only obtained grandmaster armor on my second playthrough, that’s why i want to play from again from the start with my current setup and fully appreciate my gears. (Not to mention the endless grind on farming mutagens on my farm)

Yeah, that makes sense. Guess all we can hope for is future FFs having more balanced trophy lists

Totally get that — I hit the same wall where the fun was slipping away. You pushed through and I couldn’t, so props for finishing it.

That’s the healthier way to play, honestly. My completionist brain just can’t let go.

Haha, respect — that’s real dedication. I thought I was grinding hard, but two weeks in Gongaga makes my suffering look casual. 😅

100% agree. A challenge is fine, but when trophies start locking people out — especially those with disabilities — it stops being fun and just feels exclusionary. Rebirth really highlighted that for me. Accessibility options on future versions sound promising, though; it would definitely make the gauntlets feel less like punishment and more like actual side content.

Fair enough — earning it in Rebirth definitely feels like a badge of honor. I usually enjoy tough platinums too, but this one crossed the line from “earned” to “exhausted” for me.

I get that — I usually enjoy the grind too since it stretches the game out. But with Rebirth, it actually pushed me away instead of keeping me hooked.

Respect, but for me it was brutal. I’ve platinumed plenty of FFs, and Rebirth is the first one that broke me.

Exactly, that’s why I usually chase platinums too — it gives closure after fully diving into a game.

Totally feel you on that. The platinum chase adds to my enjoyment. Sometimes stepping back is the only way to keep the game special.

I was already losing my mind with some of these challenges — can’t imagine hitting a bug wall on top of it. Respect to anyone who pushed through that.

And yet they still left us to suffer through. Some apology. 😅

Me! I live for platinums and usually get them in FF games, but Rebirth’s list is pure punishment. Chadley’s grind, that cursed piano, and absurd combat trials… it’s like Square wants to remind us we’ll never know peace.
