  "account": "Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is expected to be easier to achieve the Platinum trophy compared to its predecessor, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed this during an interview with Anime News Network, pointing out that only 2.6% of PS5 players had managed to obtain the Platinum trophy in Rebirth. The difficulty primarily stemmed from the post-game VR boss gauntlets and the need for perfect play in those battles.\n\nHamaguchi explained that the platinum trophy for Rebirth was intentionally designed to be challenging, as the game had abundant content that players could explore and perfect. He admitted that they underestimated the demand for the Platinum trophy and expressed regret over the difficulty. Battle director Teruki Endo shared a similar sentiment, admitting his regrets about the trophy's difficulty.\n\nIn contrast, Hamaguchi anticipates that the Platinum trophy for Revelation will be more attainable, with around 20% of players potentially securing it. The reason for this optimism lies in the fact that the battles themselves will be enjoyable rather than just difficult. Hamaguchi believes that they have learned from the Rebirth experience to make the battles more pleasurable rather than just challenging.\n\nThe optional bosses in Revelation are expected to be less of a grind compared to Rebirth, although there is still some level of challenge to be expected. Fans can look forward to the game's release on February 8, 2027, across various platforms such as Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game is projected to offer more than 100 hours of gameplay.",
