ffxi had achievements.

I like this idea. It'd be nice to tie the Lodestone history to something in-game (character titles are the first thing that pops to mind).

Yes, Final Fantasy XI did have Achievements; but sadly only on the Xbox 360 Version of the game. Most of them achievements were grind-fests with lack-luster rewards. I'd love to see something in this game that encourages a player to work towards these achievements. Be it Titles, SP/XP, Gil, Items, Extras (Like Movie Theaters). While this is all fairly wish-talk I'm sure there is a reason that the Lodestone History function popped up and I really wouldn't be surprised if the old development team was working on something, perhaps we'll get some form of confirmation or what-not about this aspect of the game.

I'd be happy with it, also was amused by the immediate argument that being rewarded with a title/achievement for their actions would ruin immersion.

Come on guy, don't you want the bards to sing your praises?

Yeah~ The whole Immersion thing needs a break; Immersion is great, but it could be argued that if achievements break Immersion then so does XIV's UI~? There is no reason why they couldn't tie it in with the Lore of the World. Be it...Some ancient Archon traversed the world and achieved great feats, and adventurers are encouraged to followed his footsteps. Doing so could give the player access to pages from the Archon's Parable or Tome. Full of Lore-Related Content and words from the Archon. *Shrugs* That's just from the top of my head.
