Thank you SE for another benefit of being Legacy

Id just like to take the opportunity to thank SE for giving all Legacy members the option to participate in the beta for A Realm Reborn... I think i can say it helps restore a lot of the faith lost during the turbulent times of FFXIV in its original incarnation.. Id like to ask everyone too when they play beta to make your voice heard, this is our chance to put forward our findings of the game, feedback any issues, things we like/dont like to the developers and help shape the game to be as exciting and bug free as possible ready for its launch later in the year. I for one am genuinely excited!!

Hooray! Legacy is royalty!

J/K lol

This was generally known by all Legacy Members since the Road Map.

Hopefully we come together and actually create feedback to make the game better, rather then have two diverse groups. One who give feedback based on their displeasure, and the other that says it's only Beta/you don't belong here because they disagree or want to defend SE.

I do appreciate the automatic Beta invite :)

people was still thinking it mean you have a better % not 100% because you know most people don't really read. not saying that the OP just saying other what then end up making everyone think the same. Also SE is known to use wrong wording when it come to things in the road map and the beta invite it could be said diff at least to some people.

We're all gonna be called Beaters in 2.0.

Though I am legacy I would rather say Thank you SE for giving those who supported you nice wonderful thank you presents back <3 Even if I wasn't legacy I would still have to say thank you for letting me keep my progress^^

Apparently so... Don't worry will make it to the top of the crystal tower...

Glorious Legacy Master Race

While I am legacy, I wish they'd come up with a term to describe everyone who had an account before ARR is released. Something like Survivors, but more epic.

Yep... totally expecting this to happen. I also expect all the powerful linkshells to dub themselves Knights of the Blood Oath. Wonder who gets to be Heathcliff... Yoshi or Wada?

On a serious note though, thank you SE for yet another generous gesture towards Legacy members.

Liquid Legacy!! Rubbin it in!!

I'm also loving how they added the Legacy Chocobos to the video very well done!

So now are we gonna hear more complaints from non-legacy, get ready! Just don't be mean, but be a good role model.
We need the good community and i like new players. I don't look down upon those coming back to the game, but welcome them back as lost bretheren. Those of little faith often get lost.

Yoshi seems to be more of a gamer, so he fits the role better. Oh and there is no "oath" in that guild name.

Those who complain about a division just have that thought stuck in their heads for some reason. The problem is, too many people take it as an opportunity to tease them which results in all the ridiculous discussions.

Now, if we can just get that Legacy chocobo to spit out some black chocobo eggs...

And market them, we'd be gillionaires!

Yep, it's the name given to the initial 1,000 beta testers for the SAO game... thus, when the game got released with the first 10,000 players, the beta testers were considered as "Beaters" (coined from the word Beta Tester and Cheater)

Ahhh yes... I purposely used the Japanese name used in the light novels (Ketsumei Kishidan) which literally translates it to have the Oath at the end. Usually, they just refer to them as the K.O.B in the anime.

It may sound a bit pretentious, but I think, and maybe SE does too, that Legacy members would be able to give more detailed/critical advice and feedback due to the general (but not absolute) fact that they are more experienced when it comes to the game than, lets say...Joe Schmo #8186 that spent little or no time with 1.0 and just wants to play ARR early.

I don't think us Legacy members are entitled to things like this, but at the same time, non-Legacy members probably know less about the game due to less time spent with it during a relevant time in it's life (2012).

Just my two Gil on the matter.

Pretty much this and also it's a nice gift to legacy can't forget it's to make us happy. I think Legacy have a lot to give in testing beta but also none ffxiv players because SE need to bring in more players so beta1 = legacy and some non legacy beta 2 they bring more none legacy and none ffxiv players and so on with feedback from everyone i'm sure ffxiv become a great game.

Chuck is a Legacy member.

I'm such a lazy ass I'm just glad I don't have to bother with filling out yet another application form :p

I really hope it doesn't turn into people complaining how everything isn't like 1.0/FFXI vs people who like modern mmo mechanics. It seems like what the OF turned into.

legacy is royalty. ^_^

If it helps, none of us are necessarily better than you. We just paid for longer.

It will be like that. Not so much in Phase 1 and 2, but it's going to happen.

There is a big difference between leaving feedback and doing what we have seen on the "quest video" that came out a while ago. Regrettably there will be people who will pitch fits demanding the game be completely revamped to suit their tastes and playstyles, even at the beta stage of development. I only hope that the testers can remain level headed and reasonable in their suggestions. At some point, when you are so unhappy with what you are seeing that everything need changing, you just have to say "this game might not be for me after all" and walk away. Speaking with your wallet says a whole lot more than 5k posts ever could.

It wasn't a matter of not reading. It was a matter of vague information. "Qualify" and "in" are two different things. To me it meant we wouldn't be turned away for technical reasons because SE said that if you can run 1.0, you can run 2.0 at moderate-high settings.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE KIRITO!!!

I just wanna play the game already. I don't care as long as I don't have to keep playing lame ass games like Skyrim in the meantime.

At first when i seen the title I thought the OP was gonna be sarcastic lol. May wanna quiet it down dude before we see another one of these rage threads whining about how us legacy members consider ourselves royalty and how the legacy benefits should be pulled for the sake of the game's success lol
