Missable Achievements

I really like what you at SE have done with the achievement system in FF14 ARR, adding the rewards for specific ones and easily being able to see your progress toward unlocking them is great. However i feel there is a problem with just a few achievements, those being the "Seasonal event" ones. If you simply were not playing at the time these were running or if you came to Eorzea later ( playstation4 ) there seems to be noway of unlocking these. Unless in the future you plan to re-add these events it really does bother some of your players base, given not a large portion but some people care about these things.

Usually people who go out of their way to work on achievements are completionist's and how these are implemented for some they will be incomplete which can be discouraging for them to pursue other achievements because they will always be missing that 10 achievement score these own. It would be great if you found a way to remedy this or maybe just even remove the 10 achievement score for these specific ones since they are literally the only achievements truly missable within FF14 ARR. Fixing this will just add more drive for those players to keep working on that high achievement score goal so i think it would be a good thing. :D

I thought you can get them when the season comes back.

I am waiting for a year to find out but I am sure you are right.

Yeah I'd say don't worry, they're sure to be available to pick up next year, like previous quest rewards available to buy from NPC's while the events are running (like the rabbit and dragon kabutos)...unless they cancel xmas.
Don't recall if there was an achievement for the Lightning event though

If they keep re-doing these events it's not as bad as i feared than, i personally only missed out on one but im a little OCD with that heh. I recently got another copy of the game for the Ps4 and noticed they added to the overall Achievement points and thought about the players who started on Ps4 who missed abit. The Lightning returns event did not give an Achievement and after what you guys have said im leaning more towards that they will repeat the events in the future. ( minus Lightning chans :P )

They've stated they won't repeat the Lightning events "for the foreseeable future" because those events are a big ol ad for the XIII series of games, which currently have nothing more happening on that front. The holiday events (including the one with the Kabuto, Heavensturn (aka New Year's)) are almost certainly repeating.
