Steamworks, Steam Achievements and Syncing FFXIV PC to PS3 with Steamworks.

Nice idea but I can't see SE working along side Valve in this manner, what would truly be awesome would be voice chat across platforms but hmmmm yea its not guna happen.

Hopefully SE have some kind of plans to bring the achievments in game via a achievements page in the main menu.

Trophies I couldn't care less about.

Why can you not see SE working alongside Valve in this matter?

Also, if you do not care for trophies, why do you care about in-game achievements when, at the end of the day, they are one and the same - they show you achieved something in-game.

Because SE is a Japanese company and valve is a western one, when it happens you can tell me to think otherwise. (and yes Sony is also a Japanese company, but it was probably SCEA that helped them implement these features with Portal 2)

Achievements are like a bonus, where as Trophies are more like something you set out to get, that how I feel anyways, yea it probably doesn't make much sense, but meh.

It's already happened. Multiple times too.
When a game which is developed/published by Square Enix is put on steam (trust me, there're a lot of them) it means they are working together.
SE being a Japanese company and Valve being a western one has no bearing on whether or not they can work together on something like this.

Its like he completely ignored my Quote which is from Square Enix where they mention they are releasing a game on Steam with Steamworks installed.

It's not that I ignored it, I just didn't see it lol

That being said, I don't see it happening and not any time soon, just look at how slow the dev team are working at the moment, steamworks is gravy at this point they have much more important things to be doing/fixing.

Of course if a community dev wants to prove me wrong .. :P
