XBOX360 Final Fantasy XI Achievements

[xerodok]

If I were to buy a copy, log in a few FFXI accounts [my friends], would I get the achievements instantly when I log in?

"After fulfilling certain requirements, players will be able to speak with title-changing NPCs to unlock Xbox 360 “achievements.” In the case where players have no titles available to change, they will be unable to unlock any achievements." - Official SquareEnix press release.

Some achievements are:

-Get 75 on any job (each job 75 is 30 points.)
-100 in any craft.
-Get a relic weapon
-Earned the title "Breaker of Chains."
-Earned the title "Apollyon Ravager."
etc.

Any idea if I were to login, if i'd get the certain, non title achievements?

you have to talk to one of those title changing bards i think the ones in the main cities do it but i could be wrong

In order to play FFXI on the 360 you need to permanently bind your POL ID to your Gamertag.

As far as I know, you can only have 1 POL ID bound to any given Gamertag and it cannot be undone, so you wouldn't be able to get free achievement points by swapping accounts.

I like how that site lists getting a relic as less points than completing Zilart missions.

i play on 360 but i dont know what is the reason for achievement points?

The fucking NPC doesn't even recognize my aegis as a relic, and won't unlock the achievement.

e-peen mostly. The points get added to your userid tally, and anyone who plays online games w/ you etc can see how many points you've racked up. Its mostly bragging rights, but I think Microsoft recently added some way to turn points into purchasing items or something, not sure.

Its the bards in Mhaura and Rabao.

Yeah, its really annoying for people w/ multiple accounts, but at least the silver live accounts are free.

I personally think 75 DRG or 75 PUP should be worth like 100 points, and 75 BRD should only count for like 10.

I guess I'll post this now while this thread is active: with my impending 360 purchase upcoming this following quote has me confused (and probably shouldn't):

This means I can still dualbox on PS2/PC right? All this is saying is that I can't have anyone else's account on the 360 other than my own?

[killerx]

yah per say "silver" or "gold" account u own just one FF Id seams kinda weird but i gess it works

[Slott]

30. Dynamis - Tavnazia Interlooper 30 points

You have a universal 360 ID, which is used for every game. FFXI requires you to link a POL Account to your 360 ID, effectively locking your 360 ID to a single FFXI account. It in no way affects your PS2/PC experience, and you can have multiple 360 IDs (Gold cost money, Silver is free) if you need to link them up to additional FFXI accounts.

There is a Title Bard in Whitegate who unlocks Achievements as well.

[Pergo]

would but funny

Obtained "Virtuous Saint" title. 10 points.

[Gilanth]

I opened mine by talking to the bard in Southern Sandy so i presume its any city.

[Nagamaki]

Originally thought it was just the tav one, so definitely looks like its all title changers.

Some of the achievements in that list aren't actually implemented or bugged, because I can't unlock the relic one either.

[dedalius]

It's definitely any of them, because I did mine in Sandy too. Important to note that you do have to talk to the bard on the 360 in order to do it, not just have your ID bound to a gamertag.

Thats the problem I ran across too, what if it doesn't see that you have the item? I'm thinking the only way you can get that one is when you first obtain it, unless you go talk to the NPC (Aegis NPC in Carpenders Landing) and maybe it'll give you achievements, go test that Xavier.

[Xavier]

No way in hell am I running all the way to Carpenter's Landing for 30 points, rofl.

[Huggo]

Some of those achievements are bugged or were bugged in the past. I remember getting the 100 craft skill achievement even though my crafts were like, alchemy 80, goldsmith 37, and smithing 15.

Agreed, when I originally unlocked my achievements (currently can't unlock anymore since my 360 is busted -.-) I did it at the Bard in Lower Jeuno. Almost positive any title-changing Bard will unlock achievements- just have to be logged into FFXI on 360 to do it.
