Achievements for the 360 Version.

Who are "we all", exactly? Because I don't know any such thing. And most folks that I know don't "know" that either.

Re: Achievements for the 360 Version.

The base community of FFXI, from all the stories I hear. Anyways, that's just my view on how SE cares for their customers. JP > everyone else. I just would have liked they made achievements for the lowbies. I honestly doubt they're going to change the achievements in the next patch since it will upset all the level 75 players.

Re: Achievements for the 360 Version.

Kafeen where did you go to get your craft skill unlocked?

Lower Jeuno Bard.

18 achievements for new jobs
1 for beating RotZ
1 for beating CoP
1 for beating Aht Urhgan
1 for bastok rank 10
1 for Sany Rank 10
1 for Windy Rank 10
1 for 100 crafting levels
25/32. Hmmm...

There's also unlocks for getting Dynamis-Xarcabard Interloper, Beating Limbus, and Beating the Bahamut BC.

Dunno the rest yet. Dynamis-Tavnazia maybe?

Re: Achievements for the 360 Version.

Honestly... I think you're missing a big point.

1: No one else gets special acheivement badges for their Xbox Live score (PC/PS2 etc).

2: Special achievements are just that... special. What you're saying is reminiscent of SWG's badge system..

Oops, tripped up:- new badge, sneezed:- new badge, wiped nose:- new badge.

The badges had no meaning to them - you could literally gather badge after badge by accident. Getting to 75 for the first time is an acheivement, getting dressed in the morning isn't (or really shouldn't be).

And no - SE aren't biased against you Americans. They introduced something new for the Xbox (predominantly US - although I bet they did have a chuckle amongst themselves seeing how much carnage this would bring). Yes you have to work for it, but it's not things that anyone else hasn't had to work for either. Easy with the "NOW" attitude. These things will come to you in time - and you'll appreciate them for what they are - genuine acheivements, not for some watered down pat on the back for unlocking your subjob.

Do the achievements NOT appear for anyone? I'm not seeing them.

Re: Achievements for the 360 Version.

Because they're secret achievements, you won't be able to see what they are until you unlock them. Yea it's stupid I know.

I can gather achievement after achievement as they are now as well. The only difference is it takes a lot longer to get 18 jobs to lvl75 than 1 job. They're not special achievements just achievements, all xbox 360 games give them for progressing normally in the games with a few extra for completing secret objectives. FFXI's achievements are no different, I'll get to lvl75 eventually and I'll get 100 levels in crafting. The real difference is the amount time required to get the achievements.

Dymlos, AFAIK the only changes that can be made to achievements after they've been added is is the fix bug with them or add new ones but only if you have less the 1000 points, like GRAW I belive.

FFXI has never been an easy game when compared to other MMOs out there. I think the achievements mirror this quite well.

Re: Achievements for the 360 Version.

Well, I just checked if I could get the Crafting achievement because someone here mentioned you only had to have 100 levels cumulative between all your crafts to get it. This must have been a bug they fixed because I'm 60 Woodworking and 43 Cooking and was unable to get it.

You need to talk to the bard in the Lower Jeuno tavern then select the option to unlock the achievements.

Yes, it used to be a bug, it was fixed a few month ago.

For anyone who's still confused about these, just found this site.

Great resource, and yeah, looks like the FFXI achievements are true achievements in respect to difficulty to acquire. Personally, I love that. Because I can guarantee you you're gonna feel some sense of accomplishment getting any of them. Unlike some of the other 360 games that you just happen to stumble across an achievement cruising through the game.
