^There is one at the top of the tallest building in the last district, that is too high to sense on the ground tha a lot of people miss as well as a few out in the water on logs if i remember righ

Also precedence with Dragon Age. Dragon Age was slightly easier imo, and that was 3 stars. There was almost no grinding in DAO, just play through the game 3 times (40 hour first play through, then 20 and 20). FFXIII's difficulty is about the same, but it's gonna be 100 hours instead of 80.

Time dosen´t always factor difficulty. there is alot of games which are really easy to plat but just takes time it dosen´t mean its difficult.

About Gow3, unless u started on Titan mode there is no way u got plat in 9 hours.

It is difficult for me to play games twice. It was an experience the first time. The 2nd time it's a chore.

Time and difficulty are separate things. But it seems going by the star system on the front page, time is factored in. For example, Cross Edge and Demon's Souls... Obviously Demon's Souls is a much harder game, since for Cross Edge you can play on easy and still get plat. But they're both ****. Same with GTA IV, the hard part is win 1 of every race, the time consuming part is NOOSEing up to 10 mil. IMO both of these separately are ***s, but together they're ~4.5/5. And DA:O, which I've mentioned above; if it weren't for the time (~80 hours for me) I'd say it's a lower tier 2 star game.

Also, there are some 3 stars like Katamari Forever (which I've done) and Wet (friend platted this on a 3 day rental) are for sure easier than FFXIII. If these are the lower tier 3s, for sure FFXIII is a mid-tier 3.

EDIT: Also, the Gundam Dynasty Warriors game. It's like difficulty **, but 100 hour plat, hence why it's ***. It just doesn't make sense to take away the time factor for FFXIII, when there's so much precedence.

ive got them both.

@thatguy i ended up in same situation and found the last bridge thats all destroyed to get to the third island was hiding my last piece, kept over looking it because i think some thing obscured it on the radar. its a long shot though thats the one that bugged me lol

As for Dragon age i can not say but for FF13 and Gow3 i´ll get back when i got plat.

Hmm, yes, Yiazmat is what I meant.  Good call.

Almost every plat rating incorporates the time factor so yeah FF XIII should too..

It is a 3 stars...

PS : And Demon's Souls isn't hard. It's hard the first 5 hours while you get used to the game and then it's no different from any other RPG.
