Final Fantasy 16 or FF16 for short become one of the most anticipated games of 2023 after its first gameplay trailer. Final Fantasy series has always been popular, but for its turned-based combat style and unique set of JRPG rules, not everyone was interested in it. Since all of those have changed in FF16, many gamers, even those who weren’t fans of the series can’t wait to play, and many of those include completionists. The enemy of those trophy hunters is difficulty trophies! So here is the answer to the question of whether FF16 has a difficulty trophy or not.
Is There a Difficulty Trophy in FF16?
Trophies were added to every game released on PlayStation back in 2008, a year after the launch of PS3. Since then, many players became obsessed with the trophies and afterward, they were known as trophy hunters. Gamers were obsessed with getting every single trophy of the game to get that shiny Platinum Trophy at the end. The first game that featured a platinum trophy was Uncharted: Drake’s Fortunte. It ironic how the hunt for trophy begun with a game that is based on a chararcter hunting treasures and trophies.
Of course, some games were easier to platinum while others were harder. But in general, there are a few types of trophies that almost everyone hates. One of them is the difficulty trophy. The difficulty trophy is basically to beat the game in a certain difficulty setting.
This is frustrating for two reasons. The first one is that you have to face extra challenges which can be tough and frustrating. The second reason is that in most cases, you have to beat the game first on a lower difficulty to unlock the harder one. This basically means you have to beat the game more than once which takes a lot of time.
