New Xbox Achievements for new expansion?

[Dann]

Will there be any new ones added like they did for Wings of the Goddess?

[Teraniku]

They only added like 6 Achievements for WotG? (Nation Storylines complete (3), Main Storyline complete (1), and Both added jobs to 75 (2))? Or were there any others?

[Dann]

The medal of altana achievement as well and I think that was around when they added all the little 5 pointer achievements. Could be wrong on that.

[Okipuit]

Hello Dann!

The Development Team informed us that they are considering adding a list of achievements similar to Wings of the Goddess for the Xbox360 version of Seekers of Adoulin. :)
By the way, props to those of you who have earned all achievements thus far!

[Dann]

While you are here, any word on when/if the 360 version will go digital?

don't think it will thats microsoft side and they don't like ffxi on the 360 or any mmo anymore. ffxi was just used as a marketing tool for Live since it was still new. any mmo company that wants their mmo on the 360 has met with a no and canceling the project. even ffxiv was to be on the 360 but negotations hit with a stalemate.

It mainly has to do with Microsoft's greedy asshole nature I'm sure. I would have to guess like with everything else, they wanted alot of money for the games monthly fees, or wanted it to be linked to live in some way, SE did not like this and as such, nothing has been done.

From what I understand of the issue it boils down to:

A)Microsoft wants server / Patch control (Which no MMO in it's right mind will give them)
B)They want it to be exclusively for Gold Members (So You have to pay for the games monthly fee and for live)

-That's the main reason why FFXI is now Persona non Grata on the 360, because Microsoft can't make any money off of it.

So mostly what I said was right, especially the fact the problem of Microsoft being greedy assholes.

Sounds like it. Don't know why they decided to be so greedy for, though. Most FFxi players that are 360 customers are also Gold Live members. I used to be for the longest time, as well.

[sc4500]

Actually main reason microsoft is brutal on mmos is because they got a 24hrs customer services. Most the people that on a xbox will call microsoft up to complain about billing issues and other stuff( one dude said they get like avg 1k calls peak hrs and 100 off peak just about internet connections not working on live.) and they do not get enough money from the companies to deal with it and none them can come up with a solution. I live in the area and have ran into a few microsoft employees at the bars and stuff. This what there saying with a few beers in them.

Its just the way Microsoft has been going with Xbox for awhile now. In my opinion they have been greedy for a long time with it. I mean we got a price raise in gold membership because they added features that I personally never really use. If anything they could have made a new level of membership and put all of the extra features on a "platinum" membership level. Besides that everything even worth being online for is taken away unless you pay for a membership, which can easily be half of your games actual content ripped away from you. Which is even better because PSN offers basically everything gold does, for free, then everything for their version of gold seems almost non-existent on Xbox.

I wont lie, I think Xbox will die before the gen after "Xbox 720" comes out if there is 1, simply because they are losing more and more exclusive games, and are pushing games like FFXIV, and PSO2 away, rejecting games that would give them more players.

Makes some sense, still seems bad though when they are shutting out an entire genre of gaming all together.

Yea does seem lame, but part of me thinks there working on a few deals with the free to play mmos (perfectworldgames), were we will be able to use microsoft points to pay as we deem fit. This fall i guess microsoft point are equal to the dollar on next update. That way they do not need to deal with to much issues. Plus now they got skype they can set up a intergrated voice chat system with live gold and skype in one for the pc games. Yet gold on xbox starting feel worthless they not giving anything good with it.

Actually xbox so far is this generation sega genesis dominating NA and parts of europe. With little support from japaneses games. I do not think that much doom and gloom like the past, I bet PSO2 will come to the xbox but problem is will sega support it right (dreamcast version of the game sold over million copys not including the millions hacked versions and still popular to this day, phantasy star universe does not count port of a last minute online add on) and as ff14 they be stupid not to bring it over to xbox , yea sony own rights or do they ? . If square want to make money in NA.

[Demon6324236]

Well they said talks are still open with Microsoft about FF14 I think, not sure though, things could have changed. As for PSO2 I was going to say they couldn't do the same things they did with PSU or it wouldn't matter anyways, PSU was doomed when they stopped really giving anything to anyone outside of the JP servers and even then the game was way behind on events and some content, now the game is even being shutdown for NA meaning the end of MMOs I know of on 360 for now at least except FFXI.

[Rosina]

as a long time 360 user you HAVE to be a gold user to enjoy anything on the 360. When ffxi was on the 360, they barely had anything that really needed gold. So gold was 100% optional. SE wanted a 360 release usable by silver. Microsoft ok'ed it. Then microsoft got into Apps etc more and more other stuff. Now a days you can't do much w/o gold.

heck microsoft signed up with cable companies and u can watch tv while using ur 360... or watch netflicks etc.
@ d

pretty much yup. 360 has been a sickler for mmo since ffxi

mmo that was suppose to be on the 360

age of conan
the secret world
psu2
ffxiv

yes they still in ffxiv talk as yoshida wants as many ppl to play ffxiv as he can.

[Demon6324236]

PSO2*
Not PSU2 :x
PSO>PSU

[Trisscar]

PSO>PSU

Mind if I ask what's the difference?

[Demon6324236]

PSO was actually fun, had a community worth having, and was a good game. In the years I played PSU there was 1 mission that was ever actually done, White Beast, the community sucked in my opinion, game got boring fast, and updates for a long time were far and few between on the non-JP server leaving the game a dead feel to it.

[Cruxus]

Kinda back on topic, why exactly are all of the achievements for XI (let alone all the other SE games out there) hidden? I mean I guess I could understand if it was something that would be deemed worthy of being a mystery, don't ask me what, but I mean even in the description as hidden..."Unlock to find out more about this achievement" kinda redundant if you ask me...lol.

By the by, stopped playing XI on 360 after I got tired of some of the horrible issues that plagued it *cough*besieged freezing*cough* Updates always seemed to take longer too, but maybe that was just me. I still believe updates should be downloaded from separate servers so congestion on POL when actually trying to play the game, doesn't suffer...but that's just me.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Mind if I ask what's the difference?PSU simply lacked endgame content to burn like PSU did.

[Dann]

Kinda sad this didn't happen =( oh well..

Is it too late? Did the WotG achievements come immediately?

pretty sure it was right away I could be wrong on that though.
