Discontinued Content in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (07/27/2012)

The fact that the achievements took nothing into account retroactively made them meaningless to me, tho that's not saying much considering I think achievement systems are stupid in general.

I probably would have had 60% of the camp specific leve/behest achievements unlocked on day 1 (leveled all jobs to 50 solo via leves and at many different locations).

In a way the fact that I have thousands of leves completed (this was recorded prior to achievements, even displayed in the log when you reached certain thresholds) but no camp achievements is more exclusive than anything, so that makes me feel speshul at least.

[ChibiKawaiiMei]

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks! Still, I hate mindlessly doing this shit, haha.

[Raldo]

^ Yeah that. Fuck the behest/leve achievements. The thought has never even crossed my mind to bother doing those. A title? Whoop-dee-freakin'-doo.

That said, until you can redeem your achievement points for something, I won't give two shits about them. The only reason I did the exploration achievements was because I wanted to check out all there was to see in 1.0 before it got zapped.

[Niiro]

The exploration achievement is the only one I've ever done for it's own sake because it was actually fun, and also came with a bitchin title.

[miokomioko]

As much as I despise that achievements didn't tally anything retroactively that I know they could have, and how much I hate doing Behests, There's essentially like 15 titles to be lost come 2.0:

Leves:
The Sword of La Noscea
The Sword of the Shroud
The Sword of Thanalan
The Sword of Eorzea

Behest:
The Shield of La Noscea
The Shield of the Shroud
The Shield of Thanalan
The Shield of Eorzea

NMs:
Notorious Monster Hunter

Holidays:
Wild Thing
The Winter Wyrm
Messenger of Love
Princess for a Day
Dreamseeker

Camps:
The Wanderer's Shadow

I am mostly just doing them for the Sword/Shield of Eorzea/the Shroud titles since they are pretty sweet.

[Gokulo]

I wanted the sword of thanalan title, sadly I can't play the game now until Nov so I won't be able to get it probably. Should have went for it earlier

[ChibiKawaiiMei]

Unless there is something nobody is telling me, there's no way I can even get Wild Thing/Winter Wyrm anyway.

Screw titles. I'll be Stormlady forever.

[miokomioko]

Yeah, all the holiday items/titles/achievements are unobtainable already, they are just being removed from the achievement system (for some unknown reason).

[Draylo]

I gave up after I missed the valentine event so oh well, at least they won't be displayed as a blank spot forever since they are removed from the achievements list if you don't have them.

[solracht]

Speaking of achievements, I'm really surprised at the lack of Item achievements, especially since there are so many weapon sets in this game. I wonder if they'll ever add stuff like "get 7 ifrit weapons", "get 7 moogle weapons", etc. The items category was pretty silly up to 1.22 since it only had the 3 faction leve sets.

[Grey Jorildyn]

achievement based on RNG? No thanks!

[Lucavi]

Kefka, is that you?! o.o

[Raldo]

The stupidest thing about that crown's achievement is it is the single achievement that awards the most points. Relic? 10 Gambler's Crown? Oh shit, son! That's worth 50! (More if you count the ones for 2/3/4 meld)

[Draylo]

Will primal weapons not be in 2.0? Missed that somewhere.

[miokomioko]

Anything you hear about items or dungeons or instances being completely removed is rumor.

They have never quite disclosed what exactly is being removed entirely or what might be simply re-purposed, we're still in the dark. It's all based on speculations, especially since the list of discontinued achievements came out and included the primal kill ones.

[Vuitton]

The instances were said to be staying, but that that they would be reworked. Darkhold and Toto-rak's stories are currently based around the empire infilitrating them to test out their magitek devices (or something, I forget why exactly they're there). I also remember reading that the current non-instanced "dungeons" would be made instanced, but who knows if that is true still.

[Aratharn]

I also remember reading that the current non-instanced "dungeons" would be made instanced, but who knows if that is true still.

Thought that was more of they are getting their own zone. Whereas now you are just in Thanalan and can travel straight to Za'harak, in 2.0 it will be it's own zone, along with all the other beastman strongholds.

[solracht]

I don't know what Yoshida meant, since lately that seems to be different than what he said (see: "roaming primals"), but he definitely said all existing dungeons would be instanced.

[Raldo]

Between translation errors and/or moving development targets, I trust nothing anymore. It will be what it will be. I'd like to believe it's just a zone, but I don't really care that much either way.

I'm no translator, but I'd imagine the difference between "instance" and "zone" aren't too terribly dissimilar. There's probably an even higher chance of error if that translator was not a full-time Square Enix translator.

Hell, the people on the OF are arguing with me over whether Red or Yellow synth orb has a higher success rate, and that translation quote is official!
