The PS4 version has the bare minimum trophies for an MMORPG. You only get trophies for the vanilla main scenario quest A Realm Reborn, arguably the weakest part of the game too.

You don't get any added trophies for buying any of the three expansions. I thought this wasn't allowed? How come Sony/Square Enix have not implemented any further trophies in the game? The game has ingame achievements and a tracker within the game which is fine, but they could have easily used some of these achievements as trophies too. I don't get it. I spent £40 to buy the new Shadowbringers addon and you don't get any extra trophies for it. Neither do you get them for the other two expansions.

I think its the only game that has ever done this in this scale? Like even ESO, Neverwinter Online, Warframe and all these other games (Which are F2P too) have extra DLC/expansion trophies added each time there is new content. So why not any of the paid expansions to FFXIV? Is there a reason for it? Has the dev ever said why there won't be any trophies?

On top of that the original trophy list for the game is pretty shit anyway. It's just making/crafting/gathering x number of times. Very unoriginal and barebones. There is a LOT of content in this game and they could have made trophies for all sorts of things.

Square Enix have put no thought into any of this and they should be called out for it.

I mean at the end of the day they're just trophies and like you said there's ingame achievements. Like, it's really not that deep. 🤷‍♂️

I'm surprised that they've managed to get away with not adding trophies for each expansion, but I'm not fussed that they weren't included. I'm all for dev choice and if they didn't want to add them then good for them.

Your potentially valid criticism is going to be completely ignored due to your alarmist thread title. Well done.

Laughing my ass off at "by law".

Yeah, Trophies for the expansions would've been really cool. The ARR Trophy list is pretty boring, too. "Harvest 1000 minerals" mehh

They only added the original trophies just to meet the PlayStation requirement -- they're all tied to in-game achievements, anyway.

They'd be a good little extra source of motivation while you go through the expansions to catch up. Don't know how they'd do them well when you can skip content and levels.

There's so much to chase in XIV I don't think I could give less of a fuck about a trophy hunt for an MMO. I'm not sure this is anything to break out a pitchfork for...

The day we get rid of achievements means we have a healthier community. Not the cause but certainly a symptom

Ps: I'm fine with people liking achievements

We're lucky it has a platinum trophy in the first place. Warframe certainly doesn't.

Who cares about PS4 trophies when there's in game achievements. At least you can get rewards for those ones.

Came in to see what people had to say about this "by law" business.

Sounds serious 😂

Square Enix has broken the law and brought shame for their country. The have no choice but to commit Sudoku. Get those pencils out.
