Account wide achievements

I think some achievements may be better placed account-wide than on character basis.

As example, the number of times you entered a duty but I bet you can find even better candidates.

Afaik the wider range achievements have today is character based, right?

All achievements right now are per character. Personally I'm of the opinion they should stay that way too. The game encourages us to do everything on a single character, anyone choosing to play another character should be aware that they're levelling something new so should expect to start over (I have 2 alts I play quite regularly, but 3 more I play occasionally and really like that they have separate stats).


Maybe additional "Global" achievements could be added, but we could also just add them up so...

Hum....
10M gils from levequest achieve? I think that would be a good one to share, lol.
Fate grinding, dungeon grinding, hunt grinding, pretty much every achieve that asks for hig numbers to complete but would actually take 5 to 6 years to do them normally.

As weird is this might sound: When leveling an alt, I would prefer to start "fresh" and some achievements (thinking about the mounts for example) are hard earned - and I would like to earn them again if I actually start playing that alt-character, instead of just logging in and seeing that I've done everything already.

...does this make sense?

It's a preference. And preferences are best sorted with options - In this case, a simple checkbox in your Square Enix or FFXIV account that goes:
[ ] Shared Achievements

Simple, effective and both sides can go their merry way.

Many of the achievements probably unlock certain flags in progression.

I just want seasonal events achievements account wide. It sucks to lose out on gear or mounts from events if you play alts. And no I don't want to buy it from the mog station because I was paying my sub during the time of the event and actually completed the event.

Naw I'm fine with the system the way it is. A new character is a new character meaning new everything. Only thing I think should be account wide is mog station purchases since the price they want to charge for the stuff.

I've been in f2p games quite some time and tbh I found the mog pricing so low that isn't so much a burden have to purchase multiple times the same item.

If you take a look on pricing of f2p around, you will notice equivalent items can easily be 10x+ the mog station price. I also experienced a game whose one-single-character-outfit were priced 99 bucks and put into a chance box that even may not give it to you (nope, didn't bought that :p ).

About options, maybe it will be a good idea in mog station have the option to purchase the item as account-wide (aka sent to all and any character you create), paying a reasonable premium ofc.

Acct wide achievements work better when a game encourages alt play due to single chr classes.
