Continue the guide …

Welcome to Episode 01 of my Final Fantasy 7 Remake 100% PLATINUM Walkthrough
Following this guide will get you :

ALL trophies achievements in the shortest possibile amount of time played.
You can access Youtube on Exact Timestamp By clicking the Screenshots !

All steps have been carefully optimized to fully complete the game as efficiently as possible.

No unnecessary running around, no missed Item, Quest or Trophy.

I’m playing on NORMAL difficulty, but you can play on EASY or CLASSIC and follow this guide just as well.

However, you will have to play on HARD difficulty after your first playthrough if you want that shiny PLATINUM trophy,
so NORMAL mode is a good way to train for HARD mode.

The choice is yours.

Timestamps in video description for every item, trophy and important event.

Each screen is linked to Youtube timestamp, but you can find the global Youtube guide here :

01- 06’39 :  Get used to shortcuts early in the game, it really saves a lot of time and makes combat more fluid and enjoyable

01- 07’09 :  Use FIRE on Security Officers, it’s their weakness (like most humanoids)

01- 07’46 :  In this walkthrough, we’ll be destroying ALL boxes. They can drop Moogle Medals, and we’ll need a lot!

01- 09’43  (Triangle) Punisher Mode deals a lot of damage, great to pressure enemy and stagger them Combine with (L1 + Cross) FIRE for more burst damage Trophy unlocked: Staggering Start

01- 10’25 : COUNTERATTACK – When in Punisher Mode (Triangle), hold block (R1) to counterattack and wait, Great to build stagger, and it works even against some of the hardest bosses! Learn to use it and abuse it early

01- 11’53: When in Punisher Mode, HOLD (Square) to do a finisher attack and gain Berserk buff. +50% Damage for 10sec

01- 18’54 : Some enemies need a line of sight to hit you, we can use this to our advantage, here I dodge to the side to avoid the Sentry Ray laser

01- 21’10 : (D-pad right) Switch to Barret (Triangle) Overcharge (L1 + X) Thunder (D-pad left) Switch to Cloud

Great burst damage to start a fight and pressure enemies. Sweepers are weak to lightning (like most machines)

01- 21’38 : Best damage combo with Cloud, (Triangle) Punisher Mode in close range, (Square) 7-hit Combo then HOLD (Square) for extra hit with Berserk Buff at the end
When enemy is “Pressured”: use Focused Thrust (Cloud) and/or Focused Shot (Barret) to fill stagger bar quickly

01- 23’46 : Don’t hesitate to use tactical mode at the start of battles to strategize, Use this to (R3) Lock-on specific targets, (Triangle) Overcharge at the beginning of battles, as much as possible, It’s free burst damage and ATB Gain

01- 24’56 : Boss fight in Episode 2!
