Hey guys. I've started work on RetroAchievement support for TLW. I'm trying to decide on which achievements to include. I have spreadsheet detailing all the achievements for the OG game as well as WotL. Right now my initial inclination is just to port over the WotL ones, but I wanted to get feedback.
Achievements you would like to see?
Ones you wouldn't?

I'll be cleaning this up and categorizing it over the next little bit.
I don't really like the "Do X while under level Y" (like "At Limberry Inner Court kill all enemies then defeat Aragath no deaths and levels <= 42") personally and wouldn't mind seeing those go away forever.
I suspect it would be easier to start with the PSX achievements, as I know some things changed on the PSP.
You can also use the FFH wiki to help with the data locations and values. https://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Variables would be a good one for the story progress (TLW data should be listed), with Battle Stats for the in-battle unit data and World Stats for roster unit data.
Level-based achievements seem fine to me - especially since TLW makes it easy to get a team of low level units in NG+ who still keep all of their gear and job progress from the first run. Might as well keep it consistent, IMO.
Apparently RetroAchievements won't let you port achievements between games. They consider it plagiarism and the whole set has to be done new.
So I'm building out a new set all together. Totally open to suggestions from anyone
This is the spreadsheet i'm working out of now

I like this idea a lot. I have extremely severe ADHD and achievements always scratch an itch for me. If you come up with some good ones, you may even give me a reason to play through TLW as a player for the first time, now that the nightmares of running through the game 5 times a day for months on end, have finally faded.
Hope to see more on this.
Something for completing any/all Rendezvous missions would be cool! And NG+ too
the level limit stuff already exists in the PSP version so it'd be nice if it wasn't done here.
Will it work with TLWotL too?
Suggestion for the Samurai job mastery achievement: "Bushido" (translates to path of the warrior) or "They are all perfect" (last words spoken about cherry blossoms by Katsumoto in the Last Samurai).
oh neat.
