Correct me if IM wrong

[Zezlar]

Aside the fact you already make it clear you're very cynical when it comes to this game -- Your argument falls flat here:

Achievements in 360/Steam/PS3 does absolutely nothing but basically tell you "you've done this" very rarely are you rewarded for obtaining them -- They create goals to strive for (the point of it) but they don't have to announce it because the game isn't about achievements -- In an MMO setting, achievements are content that they normally announce because it's basically like announcing "Hey we added new quests" because it's telling your players they just added something for you to do.

I consider trophies more of a self-enjoyment system. Recently earned my 33rd Platinum with Skyrim. I believe that Final Fantasy XIII was the only game that actually rewards me with anything and that was a wallpaper (thanks for that btw SE). However the self-satisfaction for earning said platinum's is the ultimate reward in my books.

The assumption of the op is the Moogle battle is the only new content. Hence, that is what they're looking to be corrected about if wrong.

people seem to be defending achivements like its such great content...so let them just put in 1,000 achivements....that 1,000 new things to do! Its fluff that should be added all the time and barely even be mentioned. Does every Xbox and PS3 game put a bullet point on the back of the box saying ("and lots of achievments to do!") no....because its fluff, pure and simple.

your real content 99% of people will care about....moogle fight and maybe some story bits, the chocobo thing we already have that noone cares about...otherwise dont expect much.

<<<this ...it's an over rated trophy system. dont' know bout you but i don't do trophy's since i was like 5years old and i couldn't buy my own games and it was something to do inbetween birthdays and holidays for new games. it's garbage that you normally just receive while playing and go eww cool i kill this many mobs. yaay.

chocobo stuff i tried for few hours and wasn't that fun, if the rewards were worth it and they made them much more group oriented or easy to do with groups then maybe.

SE keeps making there mmo's in ways where you need to have a static group of friends or guild people you always roll with to really enjoy any of the garbage they put out like this. it's not for the majority to enjoy. it's like even the pvp in ffxi died out in 6months tops of it releasing. no one goes to look if there might be people there. public quests in games like warhammer are empty all day even if they are fun. no real rewards worth doing, no people to really do them with. how can they keep thinking this will be fun or even be used by players.

hopefully hamlets are done right. but i can't say i really did besiege in ffxi even that much.was fun but, it was like, do that or go grind for more exp... i'll go grind. make them the same exp then you have something worth doing. but then who would want to put together a party. lol they need to fix this type of stuff, just for the fun of it don't exist to me in mmo's like they do in offline games.

The Moogle fight is the "thing to do" in 1.2

Achievements are not something to do. Achievement systems double dip on content to give the illusion of new content but fine, if you have to be logged in, you can "do" that too, should eat mountains of time (how convenient).

Add on some other high level quests that's clearly something new you can do, fair enough.

Someone also mentioned seasonal content. Put that under the Achievements as something you can "do" if you couldn't log out for some reason.

Eh, I'd agree with you on the part that people called the Lodestone History "content." But the achievements have rewards. That's content to me.

You can kill 10 mobs for achievement 1, then 20 mobs for achievement 2, then 50 mobs for achievement 3, then 100 mobs for achievement 4 and then finally 500 mobs for achievement 5

FIVE WHOLE NEW THINGS TO DO!

That you already did....

/shutdown is coming in 1.20

Best. Feature. Evar!

Another high lvl dungeon fight is good enough for me, achievements and the rest are definitely going to bring out the achievement whore in me. Let's be optimistic, each patch has changed the game significantly so far...
