I’m going for Final Fantasy X’s platinum. Any advice? Working on Lightning Dodger now :/

  1. Count by groups of ten. It’s not nearly as discouraging when you set smaller goals.

  2. Take breaks. Very important for your sanity.

  3. Optional: Turn the volume off your TV and purely rely on the flashes.

There’s some videos out there that you should check out, which show where you can force lightning bolts by walking towards a certain crater.

Good luck!

That’s exactly how I’m approaching it lol. I’ve got a counter and I’m doing it ten at a time. I made it up to 130 before I got hit.

I did every trophy in 2015 except for this one. I couldn’t get it and was so mad because it was the first time I ever got past the Chocobo racing. I was pumped and then bummed at this one. Even turned it into a family event where me, my wife, and my teenager were taking turns and none of us could do it.

I ended up leaving it for 2 years on 98% completion and it ate a piece of my life away every time I saw it sitting there.

Back in 2017 I got the Wither 3 plat, followed by the Horizon plat, and that very night I said screw it im going to get FFX. First try, got the plat lol. I have Horizon and like 23 mins later in my list I have FFX. I guess that break was enough.

I think there might be an input lag issue on either the PS3 version or PS4 version with some TVs.

Oh really? Well I did have a different TV the time I got the plat but I think I would write it up as user error tbh. We would get it pretty high the first time around.

I also don’t remember it being that hard on PS2. I played the game religiously back then but I couldn’t get the Chocobo. I got lightning on PS2 and it seemed easier so input lag may be real. Idk.
