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!
