In that case sign me up! I'd love infinite sprint in cities, since I'm usually there anyways.Quote:

But they do also have the highest DEF and MDEF rating for any level 1 footwear in the game (+8 for both), making them useful defense wise when levelling a class from scratch.Quote:

But I digress.
Given that there is still plenty of 1.0 gear that is still unattainable in ARR if you didn't get it in 1.0 (like the White Raven Earrings, 'dated' gear, the special Guardian rings etc), so I don't see this ever making a comeback. But hey, I've been proven wrong before! ;) -

I wish the Hermes sandals were at least account wide. I had a pair of them in 1.0, but when I made a new character at the launch of 2.0 on a different server (to play with friends who never played 1.0) I didn't get them. I never have gone back to check that my original pair still exists really.
For those wondering, the effect is different. In 1.0 there wasn't a 'sprint' function, though there were (I think) a few ways to increase movement speed. Hermes sandals doubled (I think) your movement speed for 30 minutes once daily. -

I think exclusive items should remain exclusive.

08-09-2016, 07:46 AMKokonoeAiyokoWith this MMO, I disagree. We have items that were part of a entirely other game that got placed into this one that aren't obtainable, which people who have played this game should have a chance to obtain. This isn't like the Legacy Tattoo that rewarded the players of the past, these are low level armors that are side bonuses not intended to be all that special by comparison. We even had a Red Onion helm, and the Hermes shoes is just a gold variant of shoes already in the game. The effect itself is too ground breaking to pass up for other people and just because one was subbed to FFXIV and FFXI at 1.0 which can still happen if they allowed us to do that again.Quote:

How about just some new stuff? I mean any new stuff is "exclusive" to 2.0 right? You can't use it in 1.0 so you can go back in time and wave it in the legacy players faces in the past because they can't have it. Though, if you call they "legacy" players back then they might get really worried as they don't yet know a meteor will be destroying the world soon... It might be fun to make them /panic though right?
Really though... I'm a completionist too but when I see stuff like this... It's the same with the thread about trying to get the legacy brand on your back... I mean... really? Why not something new that does some other cool thing. I mean some of these things were incentives for buying collectors editions and stuff...so at the very least, you should have to pay real money for them as the other people did. I could see how the boots might be useful but like, why not some other boots that do something similar instead? Why those *specific* boots... Why that specific tattoo... I know why. It's that completionist that isn't happy until you get 100% completion. Someone collects all the pets/glamours/achievement points they can but then they see there is stuff that isn't possible to get anymore and they *must!* have it.... Those things weren't even that great. Personally, I'd prefer SE to spend their time putting out something new that is even better... And if they were doing a tattoo, I'd rather it not be on the back in such a part of the back that you can't see it at all. If they were going to do a tattoo, I'd rather people be able to see it.... Especially if it costs real money or something.
I'll just say off the bat that I am not in the "legacy" status on my account, nor do I have any of these things. I have a character with the tattoo but it's lvl6 on on aegis and I didn't even log into it but once ever. I made a character on the NA server and just play that since 2.0
