could you imagine how many there would be!?

It wouldn't be any worse than FFXI achievements for the 360. Though considering the systems are going to be different who really knows then. 360 FFXI achievements simply had get all jobs to level 75 and beat the three city mission arcs. There was an achievement per job, so there were only like 18 achievements I think or so. Maybe fewer if they did not include Rise of Zilart jobs as well, which would mean 15. SE took the really easy way out since they were required to make achievements for the game and did it really poorly. I suspect they may be better this time around since they are probably thinking about it ahead of time. But I'd suspect they'll be a lot of collection and story trophies.

I'm not too big on collecting trophies myself, but if I happen to earn a few while playing the game, then it's all good. I see trophies as just a way for a gamer to have some bragging rights, and I don't really do that. I suppose you could get a bit of self-satisfaction with them as well, but as long as I'm having fun playing, that's all I really need.

I suppose with more trophies, there's more chances to earn them by just playing the game, and not going too far out of your way to achieve them.

Hooray for my lazy ways!

Yes, though I imagine very few people will be able to complete all of the trophies. Somehow I doubt more than a couple people actually got 1000 points on the FFXI 360 version since it would require you to send more than a year playing the game to complete. And I can imagine it will be pretty challenging to get even 50% for trophies on FFXIV. But as you said those that do will earn the bragging rights. I suspect that they will be really worth the bragging rights even if the effort and trophy won't seem proportional. Can't imagine how painful it'll feel for those people when they only get a bronze trophy for something that they spent two months doing.

I personally don't think MMOs should have trophies or achievements like other games. It just seems so unfair considering that even to earn your first one you made to spend months or years going for it. They're a type of game that doesn't really seem suited for the systems we have in place on the consoles.

Actually you would be surprised how many people make that sort of thing their "Life Goal", i have a 360 and it is nice getting some if i happen to run across it will playing but i have actually had people message me because i didn't have a achievement for a game i played or am currently playing, and they were not very pleasant.

I agree Wow is the only MMO i have played and the achievements are ridiculas. I could never be that dedicated to something like that, but thats my opinion.

Have you played FFXI? It take can take over 2 years to get all those achievements in FFXI.

[Andromeda]

If it was the only game that you played and you always got a party. It takes like a month for a reasonable well connected/networked person to power to 75. A crazy person with no time other than FFXI could do it in two weeks, I've seen Dancers at 70s only a week or two after release and I thought I was doing good with like 40s or 50s.

A reasonable person would take like 5 years to get 1000 points on the game. Anyone trying to get all of the achievements could play no other game for like 2 years if they did it that fast. All of those people that are "professional" achievement earners probably stay away from FFXI. It is not worth the 1000 points when you have to pay 50 a year for LIVE and 120-150 a year for FFXI and probably be playing the game for years to come still trying. It's only got like 18 or 21 achievements, but they are the longest achievements on the entire console I'm pretty sure.
