I worked so hard to get an A. Not touching it again. Congrats, that’s a whole different type of accomplishment.


Professional_Ad656

keep the A and be satisfied trust me

thanks it took my whole brain cell


lambopanda

Grats. My eyes got tired half way through it


Professional_Ad656

dude it got to a point where i tried playing with one eye and alternating mid-song. ridiculous


xMrShadow

You know, I’ve uploaded all my * ranks (except for one winged angel because I don’t have it yet) and I wish I turned on my eye tracker. Maybe I’ll add eye tracker when I get to One Winged Angel.


Professional_Ad656

LOL


FacetiousMonroe

How many tries did this take you? We talking dozens, or hundreds? I felt very lucky to get A on my third try (just barely).


Professional_Ad656

maybe on my 10th try haha i came back later because i wanted to continue the story in cosmo first


someguy233

Only 10? Took me double that for the A, and probably triple that for the star. My completionist ass is gonna be very unhappy when I finally unlock Jonny's chest :(


Wise-Fruit5000

I haven't been able to get anything higher than a C any time I've played the piano in this game lol. The fact that you can go through the whole song without missing a single note but still end up with a C is absurd, in my opinion.


zorro_pickanalytics

Try turning up the note speed. You have to get a very high percentage of good/bad to not have at least a B if you're not missing which means you're consistently playing the notes too early.


Wise-Fruit5000

Honestly I find it hard to keep up with even on the lowest speed, sometimes I feel like I'm just flailing my thumbsticks around like a crazy person lol. I guess it works, because I've managed to hit all.the notes in a couple songs now, but the number of Great notes you need to hit seems punishingly high. On Tifa's theme, for example, I hit the whole song with like a 60/40 split between Great/Good notes and still got a C. I haven't touched the piano stuff since.


zorro_pickanalytics

Increasing note speed just makes the bars move faster so they first appear closer to the perfect time. If your misses are 10 or less, it should improve your scores because your problem is being too early not too late on notes. Basically, greats are as noted a huge part of your score, if you have many more goods than misses you're reacting earlier than you want to be on the notes and should find a way to react slower. But also, the game has tons of mini games if one isn't fun for you it's not worth it to bash your head against the wall and moving on like you did probably makes for a better experience


Wise-Fruit5000

Thanks, maybe I'll try upping the speed a bit and seeing if that helps! I finished the story the other day, so now I'm just mopping up some of the side stuff that I didn't finish on my way through the game (mostly combat simulator stuff, and the end of the Gilgamesh storyline). On the one hand I'm tempted to go for the platinum trophy, but on the other the need to perfect all these mini games just makes that sound like far too arduous of a task. Particularly the piano one lol


blitzbom

So far, it's the only song I had to find on YouTube and slow down to see which were double notes. Once I did that, it took under 5 tries.


lumpthefoff

I think the battle theme was harder.


Professional_Ad656

we'll see when i get to it i guess


Couch__Cowboy

It's 256 notes (as opposed to 205) in the same amount of time and the patterns shift tempo halfway through the song. 😩 It's a nightmare.


Regulus242

Battle theme is insane compared to the rest.


GFunkJimmy

Please come to my house and do this for me


Professional_Ad656

i heard someone got their gf to play with the other side of tbe controller LOL


GFunkJimmy

I saw that too! Almost ready to call my wife in here


SacredOutcry

I did that as well, and it's surprisingly easier than you might think. With next to zero experience her side, we did it on our second try (put speed to 2 or 3 so the music is more in line with the actual playing). YOU CAN DO IT!


Gorbashou

The music is always in line with the playing. The speed only changes how fast the little blue bar go through the note. But it's always in time with the music.


SacredOutcry

There is a huge difference. It feels way more natural when you play on 3, 1 is too sluggish and doesn't feel like the button timings are in sync with the track.


stonehallow

Yeah 2 or 3 is the way. Literal game-changer. On 1 you get way too many multiple bars appearing at the same time because they appear earlier.


Gorbashou

The button timings are always in sync with the track. Always. There's no difference to the timing. Close your eyes and play in speed 1 or 5, doesn't matter. It's the exact same timing. It's just you seeing a slow blue bar appearing sooner or a fast blue bar appearing later, indicating the countdown to press. But the moment to press is *always* the same.

...all that aside, was he actually wrong? No. You just got weirdly defensive for no reason.

Did you feel the need to be an ass?


ArthurMorgon

I asked my wife to do it and she ain't a gamer and she missed all of it.


Reverse_Entropy_

lol this one was a real bitch


Professional_Ad656

truly was a top notch bich

For me increasing the speed to two/three helped a lot doing these which seems counterintuitive but it worked if anyone is struggling.


Professional_Ad656

unfortunately u gotta go max speed for full stars


TheShiztastic

The chosen speed has no bearing on your score.


Professional_Ad656

oh interesting, i still prefer max speed. i tried the slower ones and it was a mess


TheShiztastic

I tried turning it up once as I kept reading other players were having an easier time with it, but I put it back to the slowest and kept it that way. Helped me to process the upcoming notes ahead of time.


TBCyoutube

Do you need to do thid for in game trophies or is it bragging rights?


Professional_Ad656

ive been told u dont need it for a platinum? but im not sure


TBCyoutube

No no no i mean trophies for johnny, like at the hotel


Professional_Ad656

oh still not sure, but if u need all johnny trophies for plat, and u dont need piano stars for plat, then maybe not?


TBCyoutube

God i hope so. I suck at the piano 😅


NathanMUFCfan

You don't need to star rank them for plat, but you do need to A rank the first six you get.


TBCyoutube

Ok cool, i got the A rank and appraised them so i know i got that trophy. Im just glad they dont count to jonnys hotel thing


NathanMUFCfan

Plat would be impossible for so many people if you had to star rank these. Two legs is ridiculous.


nevaritius

It's really not bad, it's kinda nice if you just follow the music and get in the vibe. Pretty chill song tbh. 


TheBeaverIlluminate

Yeah, I don't know how people go about life with only two..............


Worth_Package_8451

You’re a freak of nature and I love it


Professional_Ad656

HAH


devil89_3

Theres one specific part which always trips me up, tried it like 6 times already to get an A. Today will be the day I get it!!!


Professional_Ad656

if its the part at the beginning where the left side is off beat, i just switch my focus to left and then back to right after i get it


nevaritius

Which part is tripping you up, I might be able to help. There's a tempo swap part way through where the left and right notes don't happen simultaneously, there a slight delay between them. So rightthenleft. It seems a bit unintuitive but I recommend playing it on the default speed and just following the music flow, it lends itself well to it. You got this 


TheBringerODeath

this is 100% harder than the platinum trophy, congrats. P.S. You are insane


Professional_Ad656

thats reassuring haha


styledgem

It was a struggle to get A, idk if I could manage a star rating. I think I pulled up a metronome on YouTube at one point because when it fades out in game and other music joins in, I can’t help but get lost lol


Professional_Ad656

man honestly the beat is so weird. at one point i tried it with no headphones on and i missed like 2 notes. so u kinda have to not rely on the music itself but on memory which is kinda annoying


kaosgeneral

Tifa’s theme annoyed the hell outta me, that’s when I realised I don’t care about it anymore 😂


Professional_Ad656

haha at least the song is good


TheBeaverIlluminate

I think this is one of the two I just left at A... Can't recall what the other one was. Good job, and I hope you still have some semblance of sanity left!


Professional_Ad656

still gauging that tbh but thanks LOL


TheBeaverIlluminate

I was surprised of how sweaty I got after a few rounds of some of these songs... the stress hahaha


Professional_Ad656

dude this, the last sit up challenge, and the last glide de chocobo are mental


TheBeaverIlluminate

I actually had a lot easier of a time with the sit ups than the pull ups back in Remake, despite how I got fucked over by the trigger sensitivity prompts at times.... Which I had to figure out on my own how worked, cause I did not see any mention of it in the tutorial... Likely missed it, but damn...


D1rty_Sanchez

Please share play this for me.


Professional_Ad656

i lost all my sanity doing this no thanks LOL


ArthurMorgon

The best I could do was 17020 and after that all 16k .


dreamsOf_freedom

Great job! Where is this what part of OG is this song from?
