[dev1081] Achievements

I really hope this gets implemented but that they also make them into something meaningful.

Achievements are great as they are a good way to spend time and adds some content to the game. It's nice to have some achievements show here on the Lodestone page but I hope there will be more "fun" ones than just "reached rank xx!" "reached camp [insert name here]!", etc. I also hope that they give an incentive to do them like points to spend, gears, items, something!

Any thoughts on how to make them fun for FFXIV?

Simply getting them should be the incentive. There shouldn't be artificial carrots to make us do the activity. We aren't doing it for the sake of Achievements in that case. We do it for the carrot.

Perhaps something like this:

Yes that is a good point ^^ And Betel too, I mean pesonnaly I am fine with just points for the sake of points and trying to get as much as you can should be the incentive. So no need for additional rewards for every achievements, but they could still have rewards for big achievements maybe?

To come back to Renta's thread, I think it's a good idea and not too hard to implement the time trial thing. It could also apply to dungeons : "completed X dungeon in XX:XX time"

I would like to see them tied into "titles" that a player can display over their head. :)
That way, players can ask, how did you get "Dragon Slayer" (ex) and you can recall the tale.
