Platinum #188: Hot Shots Golf 2 - Solid blast from the past. You can play as Gex, Sweet Tooth, Sir Dan and even Dottie! It actually still plays quite well. It was fun to revisit the golf game of my youth. Suck it Tiger Woods!

I platted Kingdoms of Amalur on PS3 in Nov 2020. Shortly before Re-Reckoning was released on PS4. Once Re-Reckoning was released. The DLCs for the PS3 version were de-listed from the PSN but I am happy to say that after jumping through some hoops I was able to download & play the 2 PS3 DLCs. 100%!

Platinum #187: Final Fantasy II - A lot of characters had to die for me to get this plat! I know this game isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but this version is very good. The boosters help move things along & make grinding (most peoples gripe) a non-issue. The story actually exists too > FF1

Platinum #186: Clair Obscur: Expedition 34 - 1st this clearly belongs in a lot of people’s GOTY chats. While not necessarily doing anything groundbreaking it does all the good stuff we’ve seen before EXTREMELY well. Battle system, story, whimsy… and no it doesn’t need areas maps

Platinum #185: Final Fantasy - The beginning that paved the way for A LOT of other JRPGs in and out of the long series. 15 hour easy plat (but I didn’t use boosts - totally going to with FF2 & onward… cause why not). Play for the story. Stay for a monk punching a hole thru Chaos.

Final Update:
Three’s company in this honey stomping situation!

The Gaia Zombie appears to love the feel of strawberry jam in between its purple toes. Let’s not knock it until we’ve tried it.

Platinum #183: Grandia - This is probably my 4th time beating this JRPG gem & it may get better each time. The adventurers tale told with such joy, earnestness and heartfelt moments. I can however say I think I’ve officially seen the Tower of Temptation for the final time in my life.

That took a lot longer than I had hoped. Window Set 3 can now eat Pesmerga’s poo!

Only one Flying Manta was hurt during the making of this gem.

Any ever just keep the yardstick instead of recruiting Sarah? Maybe take a hit of the soy sauce or salt and just wash your own clothes.

Update on the Grandia zombie honey stomping scandal!

Lich’s also appear to have a similar affinity and like the feel of what looks like a tasty peach jam in between their toes!

I wonder what the lore reason for all the zombies in Grandia to be standing around in pools of honey.

Platinum #182: Remant II - Dark Souls with guns. Honestly, shocked how into this game I got. So many secrets, items, guns, job classes, etc. Every world has multiple story lines which made replayability so good! @gunfiregames.bsky.social you made a banger that more people need to play!

Plat #180 - LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

The main game was really fun. Playing through all of the movies & exploring the worlds was a grand old time BUT this plat is awful IMO. Way too much collecting & repeating mission types. 89 hours to plat a LEGO game is just overkill.

Plat #179 - The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

I can’t believe it took me this long to experience this treat of a game! That Tues trophy is annoying as I don’t like to afk for that long. So many quirky endings & I’m sure I only saw a fraction of what it has to offer. Go play it!

If anyone is making a play list of games to play in 2025 and have not played this absolute gem then add it…you can thank me later.

Platinum #178: 2Xtreme (PS5) - I played and platted the PS4 version back in May. Last night I decided to try and speed run the PS5 version and get that plat. Did it in about 1.5 hours. Fun little challenge and it’s always a good time getting Xtreme!

My top 10 PS1 JRPGs in no particular order are:

Breath of Fire 3
Final Fantasy VII
Lunar: Silver Star Story
Final Fantasy Tactics
Grandia
Chrono Cross
Suikoden II
Wild Arms
Star Ocean: The Second Story
The Legend of Dragoon

This list could easily be grown to 20+ masterpieces. What are your favs?

Plat #177 - Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey (PS4). I enjoyed Twin Breaker & the 2nd installment of this brick breaker re-imagined does not disappoint. 40 levels that really change it up, a rather… sizable new projectile & 2 different trophy lists for PS4 & PS5!
