Achievement Ideas Anyone?

[Yrusama]

Idk what they'd be willing to write into the code, and I have no idea when we'll see achievements come back (beta phase 4?) but I'm making this thread to see if anyone has any unique ideas for achievements.

With the gil redenomination, I think it'd be interesting to have a Big Spender achievement that tracks the amount of gil you give to NPCs, Market fees, etc. It wold be nice if SE could have more ways to visualize how much gil is coming in and going out of the in-game economy.

I'd also like to see achievements for fully revealing maps, but that one seems so obvious they probably have that in mind already.

I'd like to see a death toll achievement. After 10,000 deaths you get the achievement: "At least I try"

With jump and fall damage coming soon, I'd say this would be an amazing achievement:
- Survive a X meters/yalms fall caused by a knockback
- Cumulative vertical distance jumped/climbed (either by walking up on objects or jumping)
- Fall and survive with x% HP remaining

Stuff like that.

Nice ideas Yru.

I hope achievements reward fully experiencing the game and helping other players, rather than being only an exercise in patience and sacrifice of leisure-time, as the majority seemed to be in 1.0. I am not looking forward to running 9,000 caravans or whatever those achievements totalled.

My suggestions:

Kill one of each type of monster in a given zone or attain all drops from each monster.

Class-based combat action achievements (as per LotRO), eg: heal for a certain amount of hp, score a certain number of crits, damage dealt from at least a given distance away.

Lore collection; finding NPCs and other lore descriptions about the world.

Item collection; I loved collecting the U/U items, but was sad when I ran out of space on my two retainers for them... It would have been nice to have had a checklist that got revealed and marked off as they were received.

Number of people partied with!

And my favourite: an achievement every ten levels if you haven't been KO'd with the reward simply being that your name is displayed in a different colour, and possibly a glowing subligar (there was a thread about that as a solution to some players' desire for a 'hardcore' server).

I'm excited to see what types of achievements they'll implement for PVP. I'd of course like to see the standard "Kill x amount of players on the enemy team during a <Insert PVP Content Name here>" and such, but maybe something cool and unique like "Win a match where every player is x class" or "Kill x number of opponents using a Damage over Time effect" (Where the DoT gets the killing blow) or other random little things you wouldn't normally attain playing PVP matches the normal way.

Easter achievement?
"Chocolate Surprise" achievement.
Your chocobo has laid a painted easter egg which eventually hatched into a plushy wearing bunny ears that you could display in your house. Could be a couple of different ornamental plushies to collect

Moogle magic at it's finest haha

Achievement Idea:

King of Hugs!
Hug King Moggle Mog 100 Times
Reward: Pom Pom Headband

You go into the Moogle fight and spam the King with your love! <3 In order to obtain an adorable Pom Pom headpiece that gives you a Moogle pom pom on your head. ;3

I'd actually like achievements to for the ps3 version to actually be real achievements and be on the trophy section connected to our psn account. The seasonal achievement can be the same as the add on achievements that don't effect getting a platinum trophy but does add an extra trophy to the list.

What kind of trophy I would want offered? I wouldn't them keeping the same trophies they have now but just add more, maybe stuff related to housing...

[Forgo]

I can think of one like if you can beat X boss in X deaths or less XD or win dungeon with x number of raises or less
