Award vanity or any useable items to show off upon completion of hard dungeons

[MiNuN]

Basically I was watching the MMORPG Anime Log Horizon and the main characters summoned these Griffin mounts only to surprise their party members "Aren't those obtained in that insanely hard dungeon long time ago?!" something along that line.

I feel like that impression is very important in FFXIV.

Especially when I see minions are obtained in the middle of the runs and not upon completion, Titan is another excellent example, hearing how many people keeps failing where you can award a special minion upon win.

I want to bring the feeling of "That is so awesome, I want to get it too!"

I am a 1.0. player and I have the MOG lance and just the other day I had players questioning me about it and looking at it, because it is not available yet.

I am up for everyone can get everything in FFXIV, but I want them to get obtain it with hard work.

I noticed other mmorpg that bring raids and dungeons for limited time, that is also something I feel like FFXIV should do.

We do have rewards and items to show off for completing a raid.
It's called the gear that drops. You shouldn't need a reason other than that.

Not enough, those are boring. I prefer items like minions rather than gear, because once that gear get outdated your not going to use it anymore, how do they know you completed the dungeon? At least with a minion, they can be like cool, you got that from so and so.

What is Vanity

Minions can only be shown off in the overworld, gear can be shown off everywhere.

And then people start selling runs to get those minions..... Think it's bad now that they sell Titan run? Wait till then.

I miss having proper dungeon achievements tied to rewards, like those back in Rift (although I only ever cleared Hammerknell before we quit). Getting Conqueror of XXX raid instance actually meant sweet vanity items to show off

I would just rather have gear. When you saw a person Warglaives in WoW, you knew they worked hard to get them. They didn't need a miniature Flame of Azzinoth to show off that "Yeah, we beat that."

Speaking of miniatures, where is that darn bluebird.

Unobtainable stuff would be the Halloween Costumes, Swimsuits and perhaps the Lightning weapons (Depending how long this FATE intends to stick around) - Also that Blu-ray Sound track pet (Dalamund) I think.

While it's in no means hard to obtain these at all, I think they still have their merit just because by the time they become a vintage item majority of the people who had one have left the game entirely.

Otherwise, you have like everyone else says, Allagan gear. I wouldn't say it's too amazing since give it time, more people will have it and then even more later on - but I suppose, that's also why there's achievements. There's a crown for acquiring level 50 of every class, another for killing... 100,000 monsters is it? Try aim for those. They'll surely impress some people if you go to the lengths to get that stuff considering the amazingly amount of hard work that'll entail.

All 50's and 100k kills, hard but not amazingly hard however I can't remember what the other one was that was ridiculous.

I would rather something with skills, like beating a dungeon known for its hardness, instead of something repetitive and just long.
