Request: Achievements Windows 10

[Zeargi]

I SUSPECT the way it worked for XI was something to the effect of the game sending code out that would be read by the XBox as an achievement unlocking. The thing is, that could only really been done since the game was taking a Live account being signed in for granted. On a PC, you have to account for the possibility that the user may not be a member of XBox Live, and that likely becomes more complicated.

You'd be correct in this. While in other games made for 360/XBone, the achievements automatically unlocked after fulfilling the requirements, but with FFXI you had to go to a NPC Bard to unlock them. Most of them were story and job related with the exception of a few less than awesome ones: 1st Place in Ballista, 100 Crafting, and Limbus Titles back when it was restricted.

Just need to check a boolean for true or false in order to flag the achievement. Talking to the NPC is the event that triggers this check and sets the whole deal in motion.

It could actually work in Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 since you can sign into your Live Accoiunt to log on as an option

There's an Xbox Live App on 8 and 8.1?

It would probably be going under the name "Games for Windows" there, but under the hood, yes, it's Xbox Live still. (For that matter, under that name you should be able to get the functionality under Windows 7 as well, and possibly even Vista though I'm not certain there.)
