Anime News Network<\/a>, game director Naoki Hamaguchi was asked why only 2.6% of PS5 players had the Platinum trophy for Rebirth, specifically citing the post-game VR boss gauntlets and the perfect play they required. And while Hamaguchi stands by the design decisions, he does explain why the trophy was so out of reach. <\/p>\n“For Rebirth’s platinum trophy \u2014 well, for Rebirth in general \u2014 there’s so much to do. There’s so much content. We wanted to make people go through all this content and perfect it. It’s kind of by design that that would make it difficult.” Despite that difficulty, Hamaguchi doesn’t regret making it that way, saying, “So, I don’t want to call it a mistake in judgment or anything, but we also didn’t expect so many people to want the platinum trophy. I think that was what we underestimated here. Battle director Teruki Endo also saw [the fan reaction] and was like, ‘Oh, no! I feel bad \u2014 I have regrets.'”<\/p>\n
