Please make Legacy Tattoo account bound.

Like the title says I'd like to see the Legacy tattoo made account bound. With all the server restructures since ARR i'm sure others like myself have made other characters on other servers to stay with friends etc. Would like to be able to turn on legacy tattoo on other characters that I create.

Before anyone says that it's because that "character" wasn't there etc. I understand that but I think its been quite long enough where role playing that shouldn't matter. I was there when it happened and acquired it should be good enough. I think it should be a status symbol to those players that were there to experience that to be able to use it to show off that you are a loooooong time player regardless of if it's a different character you created.

p.s. Legacy chocobo is account bound. Just saying :cool:

Part of me wants this but part of me doesn't care about this anymore. I wouldn't mind this but I doubt they'll go through with it.

On the topic of legacy mark, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you can't see your legacy mark on Hrothgar. Would be nice to be able to see that in the first place lol.

As for all characters getting it, I'm mixed just because it's neat that the character who had that event happen to them is the one with the mark... but at the same time I wouldn't really care if it became account bound either (and can see it being nice for others).

I support this. I'd like it if the legacy tattoo was an account-wide thing, just like the legacy chocobo.

I'd actually like this - given that I have a couple of alts I play on, it sucks not being able to have the tattoo on them as well. I get its because the specific character was flagged as a 1.0 character - but I feel like there should be a way to flag the account as a whole that way.

LOL. Yeah I see it now, if I really zoom in it's totally there. This is what I was looking at and thinking it wasn't lol:

Edited my other post to reflect the info, thanks ;).

I'd be fine if they even let you purchase it off the mog station, lol.

I was here for 1.0 and hated it, but I equally hate 'exclusivity' items too. Everyone should have the opportunity to get something!

Conversly, you can disable your mark with /lmark, and it'll turn off. Not forever, you can toggle it on and off. It's a great way to troll people.

I must admit I would like this as well. I even went so far as to switch back to my 1.0 character to make sure I had it. It's special to me. I only have one other alt but I would like them both to have it.

Here's the thing, Joe Adventurer went through the events and was branded.
John Wanderer didn't.

Just because the player behind them is the same, doesn't mean their stories are the same.

Further to what Canadane said, the reason the Legacy mark is not account bound is it is to specifically identify that character as having preceeded ARR (in other words, created in 1.0 and transfered into ARR). Yoshi mentioned way back in 1.0's dying days that he would make sure that existing player characters had "some way of being identified" in the new game, and the Legacy Mark is it.

Personally I would also have liked a title to go with that (for times the mark is hidden under armour), with seperate ones for just regular 1.0 characters (say, "Meteor Survivor"), those with Legacy Membership, and those who completed 1.0's story (an before you pass judgement, no I wouldn't qualify myself for some of those), but the Legacy Mark is good enough. :)

The Legacy Mark is not to show you as a player as having played 1.0, it's to record and show that character as having been in FFXIV prior to the Calamity. And how it will always be (ARR has been going now for nearly 6 years, if Yoshi did have any inclination to change or add to it he would have done so by now.), so I do not see SE changing this.

Yeah, most of my gear hides mine and now the new hair I’m trying does. :’(

Isn't the Legacy tattoo the visible mark of the protection spell of Louisoix ?

I definitely agree it should be account bound. It should represent that a player was in 1.0, not just the character.

I just discovered this week that I have my character from 1.0. I hopped to a different data center to test out a Viera since my data center was filled and found my 1.0 character there.

What annoys me most is that my 1.0 character has never ever been listed as one of my characters on the Mogstation, app, or anything. So I always assumed it was attached to a different email so when I started playing 2.0 I just joined friends on the server they rolled.

But knowing I actually have access to my 1.0 character sucks, I'd love to play as her, but I can't justify 5 years and hundreds of dollars just to have my tattoo.

after 1.0 the european recomanded server became a japanese legacy server so i made a new char on a different server and deleted my other character... i long stopped caring about some tattoo ;p

I guess the question, is it the character or the player behind the character? I don't remember when Potion of Fantasia was introduce but I'm sure it wasn't at 2.0 launch so those Legacy players that wanted to be Male Miqo'te or Female Roe were SOL to have their earned Legacy mark. Then all Legacy Player got their Legacy Chocobo even though that should have been tied to a character rather than player. Personally I think it's more important to recognize the Legacy Player, not just the Legacy Character.

Also all mounts can fly so logic is out the window >_>

Ive long since lost my legacy tattoo. It was a sad day when I realized it was gone. If the CHARACTER itself is the reason that we have the tattoo then it should follow you anywhere, transfers or fantasias be damned. I really do think it should be tied to account though. Much like the legacy chocobo.

I wouldn't be opposed to this is being account-bound instead of character bound.

Have you tried the /lmark command? Fantasia obviously doesn't disable it because pics in this thread show it on the new races, and I transferred my legacy to my current server once I realized she wasn't deleted even though I didn't do anything to preserve her. She still has her mark. It shouldn't be possible to lose the mark, just turn it off by accident. If so you should be able to turn it back on.

Legacy characters were allowed to edit their characters and names for free after arr launched. Fantasias existed, the mogshop didn't just yet at that point I believe. (name change required a support ticket, and we recieved an extra free fantasia)
