Early clear exclusive rewards

Each player must record it and submit an unedited video to the dev team so they can confirm it. Oh, and it has to be done in week 1. No practice time. Anyone who could do that would be worth rewarding.

Just for clearing it fast normally? No extras should be given. You already got your prizes.

Imagine having to work for something, I know weird concept. Sarcasm aside, I would love to see something like that implemented.

This is giving me "ahead of the Curve" vibes. I feel like the rewards we have now are just fine, but like someone said above, maybe a title or something would be nice too like you get from beating an ultimate.

So do you like/want getting first week clear or not?

I like doing week 1 its fun for me, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like extra rewards. Its like collecting all gwibers for example. I like collecting them all, its fun. Without the extra mount I would do it still, do I think it should have an achievement for doing so in game? Yes, absolutely.

Also I personally think beating a fight first means that you have the skill, yes, but you also had the time, resources, and people possible to make it happen. Should be celebrated but not given exclusive favors (maybe a title).

I agree 100%. Some people in this post have expressed valid concerns about the reward being something that people will easily fear of missing out, and to that I agree. Something akin to a title or just a simple achievement.

Indeed, that would be ideal.

Yes, if it took on average, a considerable amount of effort to the vast majority of the player base at the time in a relative short time frame, then yes I approve.

Well there's already exclusive Titles in game; I know someone who was in one of the PVP tournaments as a finalist and they have that special title for it. I just don't think that anything more then a title is nesserary.

For those confused he is asking for a Hall of Fame similar to people who clear Mythics in WoW like the top 100 guilds. That is hard to do because for some god forsaken reason in FF14 we still use statics and not raiding Free Companies to do everything.

Not sure how they would track it on a website but they could give a title maybe?!??!? This is not a bad suggestion. They already literally do something very similar with pvp and mounts. Not sure why the same concept could be applied to Raiders.

It would have to be some multiple of 8 though for sure.

Suggestion:

First 180 people on a server that get the savage achievement get an extra title.

Not wrong to ask for exclusives for PvE, PvP got them too. If you have a game without rarity, nothing will feel like an achievement anymore later in endgame, like it does for many veterans now in FF.
Only making it for first week clear is bad though, just make it the whole patch cycle and reward a title or a shinier version of the raid mount would be enough.

Thank god for that. Maybe not everyone likes to mix their raid activities with their social? Or their friend circle doesn't raid, thus forcing them to pick between joining a FC with their friends or raiding.
