Yeah I'm not saying it's "necessary". More like complimentary.

You mean they should implement the titles after the 2.0 launch?

That would be nice :D

Yeah- Not necessary by any means I think they've given us enough exclusive things already. Question though- to what I would fall under- I bought the collectors addition but waited till the regular release so I could obtain BOTH Garlean Googles AND Onion Helm.

I have both items tied with CE and Release. Do I get both titles?

Also would members who linked their XI accounts and XIII game obtain a title?
Currently in the game special items exisit are-

-Onion Helm (Collector's Edition)
-Garlean Googles (Regular Release)
-Sprinter's Shoes (XI account linked)
-Asuran Armbands (XIII game promotion code)

I own all of them. Bought my collectors edition but didn't play till regular release so now what? I can't see them give out the title any other way than having the item linked to your account- but then comes into question those that did buy the CE but didn't link their item...Hmm...

Since the achievement is technically 'bought' would the others be as well in the same category?

Actually ^ Come to think of it I had a friend start playing the game in May 2011 (8 months after the release) And he was able to find a copy of the collectors edition at best buy still. He obtained the Onion Helm but played 8 months after.. How would Square Enix deal with this?

Since he obviously didn't have to deal with fatigue OR sp based off weapon damage. While others did-

Hey cool Siggy NarikoStar! Thats cute :3

About the FFXI and FFXIII titles: Why not?!

About both CE and Standard titles: If you bought CE and started Standard then of course you should have both!

The only possible issue is, most likely SE can only determine CE and Standard by the Age or Date of the Square Enix or FFXIV account. I dont know for sure.

What I do know is: Standard Release was a week after CE. So they could possibly check the date your account was first registered/created.

If you had CE but registered late, maybe it will go by your item code for Onion Helm that you put in!

account creation date.

I like the title idea. I remember how cool it was to walk around with the tiamat trouncer title way before any other HNM LS's killed it.

People recognize titles and recognize the achievemnts behind it. Saying it is on Lodestone is not necessary,since noone ever checks there anyways.

Put it in the game, and every time someone checks you they see it and know what it means.

It's not a very convoluted process. SE has all the required administration tools to identify such things. Even your lodestone says info about your account.

Don't hold your breath. I am still waiting for my cheese cake helmet for being a alpha tester.

why dont you just take a picture of yourself holding the collectors box and post it here. end of story.

You're a pretty funny Galka Griss :3

I hope you get you cheesecake helm! *holds breath*

I want the special snowflake title.

What about Beta-survivors? Shouldn't they also be recognized? I've been playing since CE, but it takes some serious gonads to tough out beta-to-date.

I assume this is something they already intended to do, but maybe at the end of v1 or at the beginning of v2. (Which seems most likely)

Sounds cool. Last time I checked my Square Enix account still shows my Beta account.

This could theoretically work!

Beta titles for all Beta testers! That sounds fun, good idea!

I would rather my onion helm mean something more.

What exactly makes it mean something less and how?

Titles go pretty well with Helms :3

There would be 2 titles: a CE Vet and a Vet title.

You can have your cake and eat it too.

Anyone with a CE title should have a Helm. Whats the issue? Neither one of them erases the other and they both are special.

We didnt have Titles when Helm released, but now we do.

I really don't understand what everyone's jealous, concern, and smartassery is all about.

If you don't like the idea then dont waste your time posting here. The title isnt hurting anyone.

Quit trying to throw wrenches into everything just because you're bored.

I'm sure there will be a lodestone history update about surviving having a big god damn moon dropped on you.

Now wait a minute, I wasn't jealous, concerned or a smart ass. I could of worded my earlier opinion a little better though, I don't care if they add a title or if they don't. I would just rather the helm which DID come from the CE be useful past level 10. I didn't derail, I did not hurt your thread, please calm down.

I consider it part of your little title thing... You want a title I want my cheese cake! Though actually I could care less really for either... entitlement and wants run rampant on these forums. Shouldn't people like Griss and I who have been around since Alpha test have something special and more then any one who was not around since then? Just because well we went through alpha... (really all this we want a title and we want this gets a bit out of hand).

Yes I know you said its not needed but you still make a topic asking for it didn't you...

Sorry :/
I wasnt directing that at you Scherwiz. I qouted you to agree that the Onion Helm is important.

I was more so talking about the various ppl jumping in here with stupidity trying to make my thread derailed even though it isn't harmful to anyone.

I am very much calm :3

If anything its amusing such a small topic would get under the skin of some of these naysayers posting here. Comical indeed!

/huggles :3

What about title "The Survivor" xD

Dont play coy with me.

Make your own thread if you wanna discuss anything other than the content in OP.

This isn't your chance to show how witty and subtley you can mock me.

The topic is clearly defined in the OP as CE/Veteran Title Request.

Don't try legal eagle tactics here. Thanks :3

*huggles*

I've been playing since CE launch, so trust me i feel your pain. And if i got a title for it in 2.0...i wouldn't mind. On the same hand....i'm not going to make a thread suggesting they give me one either.

Yoshi + Devs,

This is a simple request. Please add a Questable title Achievement for Collector's Edition and other Veteran players.

CE and Veteran players who have been here since the beginning deserve their own honorary title in praise of their dedicated devotion to FFXIV through tough times.

CE and Veterans would be those players who started with Collectors Edition and Standard Edition release respectively.

These two groups deserve this entitlement. We respect your dedication and hard work. We have also put a lot of work into supporting this game in even in it's most horrible times.

Details:
Title grants *could* be determined by:

- account birthday
- the age of the players account
- if that player is still active account

-As for the time period-
The following groups would get a title:

CE Veteran Title: For still active players that started at CE launch

Veteran Title: Anyone who still plays that started before P2P

UPDATE:

Got some title ideas:

CE Vet: "the Enduring"

Vet: "the Devoted"

That is all.

Sincerely /huggles
Areeya Jaidee

While I agree, I think we should have a Veterans' Reward system altogether, like NCSoft has for Aion, but reward not just for each month one is active, but rather for each consecutive month one is active.

Thank you very much! We got a good bit of votes now (39)!

@Dragon: Cool idea :3

@Edgecrusher: I made a thread because im an outgoing person. Better to ask than to have always been a slave to empty promises.

We already have an onion helm and those boots if you came directly from XI. I don't feel like I need a title... Besides, the goobbue mount is disappearing after 2.0 so I suppose that's 'exclusive'.

What about the people who started with launch, became upset when they realized it wasn't what they thought, quit, and are now returning after over a year to a game that is MUCH more enjoyable? Should they get a Vet title too? I don't think it's the same, and it's definitely not going to be as exclusive as you think.

To be honest, the PS3 is an outdated system at this point. As an example... Skyrim, which can run easier on computers than FFXIV currently can, looks pretty terrible on even an HDTV when compared to PC. It's simply because the PS3 cannot handle a lot. Although they are going to reduce the amount of things that needs to be processed (by reducing the zone size), the textures are NOT going to be even CLOSE to up-to-par with the PC version that came out over a year and a half ago. What's my point in saying this? I think the PS3 launch is going to be underwhelming.

Anyway, there are a LOT of us who started in the beginning and continued playing (casually or hardcore). There are even MORE of us who started in the beginning, didn't play for a year+ because the game wasn't up to par, and have now started playing again. That HUGE sum of people making up 'veterans' means that your 'exclusive' title will be JUST as common as a goobbue. Everyone will be wearing it proudly, and then the title will fall out of use because so many people have it...

Now... my own suggestion?

A title for completing as much of the main storyline as you can during this, the CURRENT era. This would show DEDICATION to the game (not just the amount of time the account has been 'alive') and interest. To complete the main storyline, you need to have a 50, and you need to put some effort in. Perhaps a similar title could be given to people who reached a certain rank in their GC before the next Era. THOSE would be nice titles to have.

For just activating on launch day? Meh.

Thanks for posting your opinion.

40 ppl disagree with you.

Believe it or not some of us have actually played this game on a regular basis since day 1. Either way, it's good you spoke your mind on the subject.

Thanks for telling me 40 people disagree with me?

I wasn't trying to be harsh or rude... just sharing my opinion ...as you said. Everyone's entitled to it, and because the dev team tends to listen to people, you may just get your wish... and if you do, I won't complain about it (just as I didn't jump on the 'I hate this goobbue because it's too easy to get' bandwagon when that whole thing went down).

I'm just saying that a title that's slightly harder to earn (and not just having 'activated' on launch day, or kept playing after pay-to-play) might be a nicer way to recognize dedication and hard work BEFORE relaunch. So if anything... I'm trying to suggest a way to make it even more exclusive to 'dedicated' people... and you did suggest a 'dedicated' title. >_>;;

Oh definitely, i by no means took it ad rude nor did I intend rudeness either. Just stating facts.

I know a good few ppl who share my enthusiasm in this interest.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I thought maybe you were upset because I saw you post simply "thanks for your opinion" and then edited it to include the rest, like it was an afterthought. It's not really my place to speak, but I looked at other posts in this thread and noticed that you seem to be defensive in response to a lot of these posts that disagree with you... even when people aren't necessarily shooting your idea down, but expanding on it and taking it in different directions. (Some people are outright rude, but meh... forget them. Also, sorry people are derailing your thread.)

Like you said, 40 people like your idea. :) The 'likes' count for something so don't worry if some people don't like it completely. And, I wouldn't have even thought to expand on your idea of title rewards for being a veteran if you didn't post it in the first place.

Hey this is great. Can I get something for being an ALPHA tester that shows I have seniority over CE players? I mean, why not while we are at it.

But then I'll always have the reality shoved in my face that you got picked and I didn't... :( :( :(

I think there are many titles that could only obtain in pre-2.0 too.

There is title and helm obtain after "finish all R36 class story quests", this is unique one for current version only, so you should get it while it last. the 2.0 will come with all new different class story quest, because the world Terran gonna change, and old story would't fit it.

I find it funny you're asking me as if im the CEO of SE.

Since when did making a legitimate request thread warrant harassment from the uncouf sarcastic masses?

Please read the thread in its entirety next time. Thanks.

I don't really need, nor will, read 8 pages in order to respond to the OP seeing this is not a debate but a request.
A shallow, silly request.

You already got your "reward" and its called onion helmet. Stop asking for random free things, you paid for what you got a year ago. Geez.
