Trophy Support. What do you think?

[Andrien]

I wanted to wait a bit before making this thread, but I can't help it.

I want to know if this will be available in the PS3 version

The PS3 version is drawing near every passing month, and so I thought if the PC version has achievements, then the PS3 version should get trophies linked with their current achievements or something different. Since pretty much every PS3 game is required to have trophy support right now, and even Metal Gear Solid 4 is confirmed to get a re-release and a trophy patch for current owners. (news from andriasang.com) I think it'll be one of the best things SE can do to give console players challenging goals to accomplish, and longevity by unlocking trophies, since I myself will be getting the PS3 version.

They can always patch in more trophies, and achievements like they do right now to keep us busy. Especially for those that like to grind trophies to show of their e-peen on PSN. I know a good few.

I hope they at least consider this.

They did it for FFXI with the 360 version so I don't see why they wouldn't do it for XIV.

wow i didn't know that. cool

Would make sense for the ingame achievements to be trophies.

When XI was first released on 360 getting a relic gave as many points as getting a job to 50 lol.

Yes the PC achievements will transfer to the PS3, if for no other reason than this sony mandate:

A Sony representative confirmed for GameSpot that trophy support will be mandatory in all PS3 games submitted for certification beginning next year. "Trophies will be mandatory for titles submitted after January 1, 2009,"

from this article: http://www.gamespot.com/news/ps3-tro...n-2009-6201444

Plus it would be pretty crazy not to implement them if they took the time to do it for the PC anyway. That should be the easiest feature to transfer from one system to the other.

Personally the trophies in PS3 should match the trophies earned in game.

Regardless, as mentioned earlier, every game's have to have a trophy system on PS3. This will be no exception.

Personally, I agree with this. Many of the FFXIV Veterans will be screwed over by switching to PS3 when 2.0 comes out for Ps3, assuming they follow the same trophy system in FFXIV PC (which really makes sense anyway.)

In theory, I think they can probably do it via NPC for Veteran PS3 players for FFXIV. IE: Have the NPC 'send the data' to trigger the trophies earned.

I agree they will have to have some kind of sync process for pc-PS3 players. Not only for legacy players who have only played on PC as a replacement for no PS3 version. But, a lot of ppl I know plan to play on BOTH formats when the PS3 version comes out. Hardcore content and long gaming sessions on the PC and then if they are crafting or farming seals etc they can do it split screen on the TV. So ppl will always need an option for transferring trophies between the systems.

there will be trophys/achievemnts

but dont expect them to be nice

usualy, they will pick out the best of the best ones, the worst of the worst or however you wanna look at it

the hardest at that

[Arcell]

TheVedis is right, I highly doubt it would include all of the achievements. It would likely include a selection of the hardest ones (or at the very least classes to cap).
