It seems there is a dev post on the JPN side about the leaderboard aspect of this topic. The thread in question was about asking for a cleartime ranking.

Would seriously love if they implemented all of OPs ideas.
If we can only pick one, then definitely achievements with a point score applied, so some are more valuable than others. EG : reach lvl 20 = 20 points, Reach lvl 50 = 100 points.

Don't worry, from the time achievements are implemented, everyone will be eligible to complete everything. For example, there's not going to be a situation where you can't get a seasonal activity completion just because you haven't participated in all of the seasonal events up until now.
However, there will be story-related achievements like "Completed the 7th Umbral Era Quests" and stuff like that that can only be completed before the the rebirth in 2.0.
We will introduce the achievement system in a future topic.
Looking good. -

There actually will be seasonal event achievements, as well as long term seasonal achievements (get all the seasonal achievements in a year) where you can get even greater rewards.
Therefore, all the seasonal events prior to path 1.20 will not count towards the new achievement system, but there will be future achievements that can be missed if not completed in time. The 7th Umbral Era questline and the seasonal achievements are unique in that regard, so I wanted to clarify.

Achievements in 1.20: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/11099
A decent first start.
This is really, dumb. What's the point of achievements if no one else can see it? Seriously, fix this BEFORE 2.0Quote:
* Players will not yet be able to view each other’s achievement information. Come Version 2.0, it will be possible to examine another character’s achievements via the check command.
QUESTION: I would like clarification on this part. If we already did something in our History that is the same as an achievement, will we automatically get credit for that achievement? Or will we have to do everything all over again once we unlock the achievement list from the NPC?Quote:
* Achievements are separate from History, the latter of which will continue to exist.
On one hand, it would give players more to do, but on the other hand, it would suck for a lot of players who already did these things in preparation.
