Too bad. Achievements are fun as fuck.

You do know that they can still be implemented, right?

But it won't have a universal system like xbox/ps3. And it sounds stupid but whatching you trophy level or whatever rise is really fun. And getting a particularly tough or rare achievement feels awesome.

This. Plus the replay value added is insane. I bought star ocean for Ps3 in 2010, and now I have over  600 hours clocked in going for this insanely difficult platinum.  It's a really nice extra to have imo.
