Platinum trophy #78: Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5)

Updated this to a Platinum after much crown hunting, thanks to excellent teamwork from the TONe guild. About 160 hours in for the whole works. I have almost 600 hours in World and am still missing 2 crowns for the Platinum for that, so this one feels good.

Platinum trophy #77: Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster (PS4)

Since this was only my third time beating FF5, I decided to go apeshit completionist and get & max everything. That's probably what made this seem longer than I remembered. Fun game that definitely has a lot of elements that bridge FF4 and FF6... but it's tough to measure up to both of those.

Platinum is Platinum from C-Smash VRS!

Very mellow trophy set for this brilliant and stylish VR racquetball/squash game. Mostly involves things that will come naturally with play (like grinding out good ranks, finishing the 1P mode, achieving certain rally lengths, etc.). I got one of the trickier ones in the also-supported non-VR gamepad mode, but all the rest was pretty much just normal play.

Really enjoying this one and will probably try to get some of the (free) DLC trophies as well.

Platinum is Go, Go, Yakopoo! from Trip World DX!

Easy lil plat from a short and sweet Game Boy port. On to the next!

Platinum trophy #79: Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune & Dunan Unification Wars (PS5)

One platinum trophy for two complete RPGs was quite the task, but it was fun revisiting Suikoden and spending a proper amount of time with Suikoden II, since I didn't complete it back in the day. I have many complicated thoughts about the revered sequel. One day.

Platinum trophy #80: Trip World DX (PS5)

I needed a snappy palate cleanser after beating Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VI again, Suikoden, and Suikoden II this year, and this recommendation from Clay resonated well.

The soundtrack goes unreasonably hard for a little 5-stage green-and-green 1-hour game.
