Glad I decided to concentrate on Crafting for now. Can probably make most of this stuff at a fraction of the cost.

There weren't titles in the very early stages -- 2001 beta - early - midish 2002 (official launch) but titles always existed, and getting them "back" I guess some really won't understand because FFXI seems to be pretty taboo to mention around these parts xD, cuz yeah, it was a fun little nod to show you completed quests/killed certain nms/bosses etc and down the line they added effects to certain titles, e.g If you did one of the WoTG quest lines the Lycopodiums would cast Regen on you.
Nice, I am pretty excited to start crossing achievements off my list. Also, getting actual rewards is neat too. Hopefully the rewards are useful. Titles are cool as well.
My question is, with achievements based upon reaching every aetherial gate and aetheryte camp, will they finally remove the level ~90 mobs (the aggressive ones) that now one-shot everybody and never had any reason to exist in a game where we can only reach level 50?
