PS4
Start with two goals decided early: have Don Corneo choose Cloud and get Barret at the Gold Saucer. Learn Great Gospel before losing access to Aeris, then track the Bahamut summons. The superbosses and 99,999,999 gil can wait for a save with the world open.
The 1997 original in its trophy-bearing PS4 port released in 2015. Remake, Rebirth and Crisis Core Reunion have separate lists.
- Trophies: 32, including platinum
- Edition: PS4 port of the 1997 game
- Early risks: Don Corneo’s choice, the date and Aeris’s Limit
Prepare Cloud in Wall Market
Save before the Don Corneo sequence. Pick the dressmaker answers that improve the dress and win the squat contest for the best wig. Take the accessory detours, such as the pharmacy cologne obtained by helping the person in the bathroom. Check that the Don chooses Cloud rather than merely continuing the story.
- If the Don chooses one of the others, reload the Wall Market slot.
Plan Barret’s date
Affinity starts in Midgar. Give the flower to Marlene, back Barret when dialogue allows, and avoid favoring Aeris, Tifa or Yuffie in choices that change the date. Check the route at each branch before moving on: a save made just outside Gold Saucer will not change old answers.
- Check the outcome on the second story visit to Gold Saucer.
Teach Great Gospel in time
Use the buggy to reach the sleeping man’s cave near Junon. For Mythril, target a battle count ending in two matching odd digits, such as 33. When the weapon seller near Gongaga accepts the trade, choose the small box. Teach the manual to Aeris after unlocking her earlier Limits.
- Confirm See the Light before the Forgotten Capital sequence.
Protect Bahamut and unique rewards
Pick up Bahamut at the Temple of the Ancients and Neo Bahamut at the Whirlwind Maze when first available. Complete the Huge Materia missions and inspect the blue one at Cosmo Canyon’s observatory with both summons available. Recruit Yuffie and Vincent on the way and keep any Limit manuals you still need.
- Check that Bahamut ZERO has entered your inventory before switching goals.
Finish the Weapons and gil
Prepare for Emerald and Ruby on a dedicated save. Emerald drops the Earth Harp: trade it with the Kalm traveler for Master Summon without mastering every summon. For gil, grow and sell mastered copies of All Materia, leaving the ones you use in battle equipped. Finish level 99 and the minigames separately.
- Prepare a way to control the Ruby fight and heal allies when you bring them back.

Frequently asked questions
Does Remake have the same list?
No. The 32 trophies here belong to the PS4 port of the original, not Remake or Intergrade.
Is finding the Great Gospel manual enough?
No. Aeris must learn it in the menu after the earlier Limits. Check the trophy before she leaves the party.
Does Master Summon require mastering every summon?
Not if you use Emerald Weapon’s reward: the Earth Harp trade in Kalm gives you the Materia.
