It seems yet again, SE's intention is (a) players are expected to wander aimlessly 'talking' to every damned NPC in the game just to see if they get some sort of reaction, or (b) use the official 'game guide' (a la FFXI) or fan sites.

Either way, it's a fail.

Someone above mentions a location in Ul'dah where some of these are. Just how is that information conveyed, because it's damned well eluded me.
You are really talking bad about something you seem to have no idea about. You can check on your maps and see the gold medals on the maps and that is where you find the NPCs. Once unlocked, the menu will tell you what you need to do to unlock the achievements. If you didn't know to look for medals, you could check the past patch notes, which everyone should do to know more about the game they are playing, or just ask someone, they will help you.
