Just in time for more to be added

Some sort of mouse creature looks shocked in Final Fantasy XIV’s 6.4 update trailer.

In an accomplishment that truly makes my head and mouse-clicking finger hurt thinking about the sheer time and effort required, someone has become the firstFinal Fantasy 14player to complete every single one of the MMO’s more than 2,700 achievements.

To put into perspective just how wild this player’s many, many achievements are, obtaining every achievement in FF14 requires completing all five ultimate raids and all three Deep Dungeons solo, as well as finishing every Extreme trial and Savage raid as a Blue Mage.

That’s tricky enough from a challenge perspective, but it’s the time investment required for some of these achievements that’s truly staggering. Among those 2,700-plus achievements is the need to win at least 3,000 games in PVP mode Frontline and 5,000 victories in Crystalline Conflict or The Feast. That’s victories, not just played games - and you’re also relying on random strangers in many cases.

Given that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been out for just over 10 years as of this August, that arguably makes the achievement-hunting Warrior of Light’s feat actually surprisingly speedy all things considered.

Other things that the committed Lalafell player has achieved includecatching every fish, defeating 5,000 S-rank and 10,000 A-rank hunting marks, clearing every treasure dungeon at least 20 times - including one infamously hard dungeon believed to take 2,000 treasure map items to do - obtaining every relic weapon, and picking up 20,000 accursed hoards from Deep Dungeons.

Any one of these achievements might be something that takes dozens or hundreds of hours to do; the fact that one person has managed to do them all is genuinely staggering.

Although, in a somewhat funny twist, they don’t quite have 100% completion of absolutely everything in Final Fantasy 14, as it seems they’re missing two of the mounts obtained from Extreme-difficulty trials. Amateur.

Unsurprisingly, the player has been playing A Realm Reborn since it first came out, steadily completing achievements for the last decade. It looks like they have no plans to take a break after their momentous achievement run either, as they’ve continued to play regularly since becoming the first FF14 player to complete the milestone.

They might have some new achievements to chase soon, too, as Final Fantasy 14’s next big patch, 6.5,arrives tomorrow with a new dungeon, trial, raid and more, with upcoming expansionDawntraildue out next summer.
