Achivement Titles Npc changes

I don't like to hassle myself of going to a NPC everytime I get a new title for my achivement. Can we make it automatic or least from 1 NPC or spot like within INN or Moogle Mail.

Moogle mailed the title + rewards would be a nice touch

Or just wait until you have something to do near the achievement npc

I honestly don't mind the Achivement NPCs. Its a nice touch that, to me, makes the achivements feel atleast a little bit part of the world, instead of a List on your UI that pukes some item at you after 10,000 somethings.

You go to an NPC, tell him of your achivements, he spreads word of your fame, you get title. Titles have become something so different in todays games. Titles are really what your either know for, or addressed as, but such renown only works if people (Lore wise, aka NPCs) know who you are or what you've done.

In alot of games its treated like your wearing a name tag; "Hello, my name is: Viritess SWORD OF THE SHROUD!"

I actually like that its done differently here. Not to mention it helped me explore a little extra when i started, so i could actually see my achivement lists. Which was an un-expected treat.

So personally i'd like it to stay NPC driven. Sides like Felis said, just wait till your in the area. If its something juicy you really want, you could atleast be bothered to get grab it. Its not like it does, or should be, throwing out so many titles and items so fast that you should feel the need to visit them constantly.

My main problem with it is that I can never remember a) where the npcs are or b) which ones correspond to relating achievement lists.

I would like to see 1 or both of the following.

• (!) or (!?) to appear above the npc on the map when you run past it when it has a reward for you.
• At the top of the acheivement list, name the npc who gave that list, perhaps with his area and co-ords. e.g. 'NPC Name - Eastern Thanalan (x , y )' just in one line before the list starts.

It's also difficult to remember that I have title's i've not yet picked up, some kind of reminder, perhaps the achievement list button itself could have a glow on it to show there is something to be collected?

The achievements are a nice touch, but I shouldn't have to use 3rd party websites to play and navigate the game.

Design is like a joke, if you have to explain it, it's not very good.

It tells you which NPC when you select the achivement category. Along with the coords.

Does it really?? I am either blind or stupid lol. Possibly both. either way, i'd like markers on the map!

I'll go with Blind ^^

Yea should be at the top, though since i'm at work i can't double check. Honestly its fairly missable cause it lacks the pop the achivements themselves have in the window. But tis there somewhere ^^

Though far as markers, besides the gold medal icon on the main and mini map indicating an achivement NPC, i wouldn't mind seeing an active or placeable marker that gives some compass bearing on the mini-map, to atleast help you keep your bearings on the direction you want instead of Map on, map off, map on. Something like how levequests give you a glowing "thisway" arrow as you get close.

It would be just like in the 90s with those coupons you'd cut off cereal boxes and send off for a free toy!

What they should do, to keep achievements a part of the world, but to also allow people to get the titles or items fast is offer an opt-in system to receive them though mognet (yes moogle mail should be called mognet ff9 ftw) you can opt in any time from a delivery moogle and also opt-out of it again.

With this people who care about seeing what the npc says (perhaps have some form of conversation that will make people want to do this) they can, but people can also just get the rewards if they want, that will be the best way as far as I can tell.
