I did register for the Vana'Bout rankings this morning (intentionally registered late to see if I could even get on the list as there were already 100 characters with max plaudits) and had 1400 plaudits.
Even after confirmation of registration, I did not break the top 100, did not get the above message this time after the end of Vana'Bout, and did not get the title 'Venerated Adventurer' automatically bestowed after interacting with the Coordinator Moogle.
