Play on PC, unlock trophy ps3?

Ok so I'm almost lv 50 on a new character, and im curious do trophies unlock automatically when you start up on ps3? if not, how can i fix it?

I should have a ton of them but when I logged in on ps3 to check, 0%

Play the PS3 version and it'll unlock trophys when necessary. For example I killed a single monster, was first awarded "Kill an enemy monster" immediately followed by the trophy for "Killing 10,000 enemies."

Trophys will not unlock if you do not play on the PS3.

so if I had already crafted 1000 of an item for say weaver, id have to recraft 1 item and it would unlock both? As far as I knew it was supposed to be connected. Because in your in-game achievements ALL the data is storied that is used for the trophies ... so it should be able to prove and access that you did them

an unrelated question here:

Can you tell me how you got your new character to 40+? I've been trying to find a good way to level my character :)

um quests, guild hests (once every 5 levels), story, fates, hunting log :( I did it all.

Anyone know anything about updating trophies though?

Things may be different but know this, I started FFXI on PC and got the 360 version in around 2008. As soon as I logged in on my 360 I got about 40 trophies for things I'd previously done on PC.

Not to necro-bump, but I wanted to clarify how FFXI 360 achievements works: If you had played, and accomplished things that would count as an Achievement on the 360, while you were on your PC (or PS2 as I had done), you had to go visit a NPC (I believe there were more than one, but I remember going to Whitegate) and asking him to "Check for Achievements", in which case there is a pause, as I guess the game is scanning your progress, then you get that familiar bleep-bloop! I was currently searching around about how this works with FFXIV and PC/PS3 switching. I haven't really looked closely at the list of Trophies, but I had just started crafting on PC, and when I hopped on my PS3 later that evening, I got a Trophy after I started crafting on there.
Wish me luck!

Yes, the achievements get unlocked if you redoing once what unlock them.
The only problem is the main story. To get the trophy you need to do the last main quest on the PS3, because you would not be able to redoing it on the same character if you do it on the PC. Then the options would be to make a new character for the trophy or maybe wait until new main story quests are coming

In FFXI, it was the bard NPC's that could set your current title to any title you had previously earned. They were in many places. While each one usually would only be able to restore specific titles connected to the area where that specific NPC was located, all of them could set ALL of the Xbox Live achievements you had earned... one at a time. You just had to keep talking to that NPC until it said "You have no achievements to unlock".

I still have not found any NPC in FFXIV that could do this for PS3 Trophies.

Hoping they fix this.
