I didn't realize it was on the back of the neck. Did anyone take a screenshot of it?

I'm not sure. It may only apply to characters that were actually created from 1.0 and not apply to "new" characters used in Beta III.

It says "Survived the Calamity" which would be 1.0 characters, as Phase III characters didn't technically participate.

Short answer: I really don't know.

So... if you have long hair you won't be able to see it? :(

Not unless it glows through cloth, armor and hair.

You can always change your hairstyle in order to see it. Remember in the live letter they said there will be a barber shop.

I mean I like that my character has red eyes, but it doesn't mean I don't equip helmets with visors.

Gods~!

o.o ... Does anyone else feel like they are being teased by a smiling dev team?

And thus all the females and longhaired males cried. Including me >_>

Awesome. I was kinda hoping that would be the unique feature 1.0 folks would get.

Shan will be displaying it proudly.


Say, can we get T-Shirts that say "I survived the Calamity, and all I got was this lousy Mark of The Twelve"?

:p

<psst> We're all L'Cie now.

Hah. That's what I thought too xD I want mine on my thigh like Vanille..that way I can lure all the ladies to "check out my mark" >_>

On the back of the neck?

I wonder if it will be a barcode .....

Is that anything like a mushroom stamp?

That's exactly what I think.

I was just coming onto the forums today to post this beautiful tidbit of revelatory information when I discovered, right at the very top of the forum posting page, was this topic. How delightful! Now, share in the credit of its discovery, OR PERISH! None shall stand against the wind!

Garuda: Hey, that's my line!

So if it isn't the mark on the necks of the archons, it may very well be this:

Maybe but it might be a stretch. I have a hard time believing our mark would simply include the Eorzean symbols for 12 (yes, that's what the symbol in the center is: just numbers) instead of something more stylized. Clearly that design does deal with the Twelve gods and perhaps the attempted imprisonment of Bahamut, so I can't throw out the possibility entirely though...

Out of curiosity, where is that banner hanging in the game? Context might help in its analysis.

Edit: Here's a numbers reference using one of my fonts. The original source of the number forms came from the stalls in the market wards, but it's hard as the seven hells to find screenshots of them, I don't remember how I came across them in the first place.

Only for legacy not 1.0?
Dam, I paid to play 1.0..
Was hoping they would include us in this..
Hell at this point, I'm just hoping to get an invite into the beta....

I think they mean legacy as in the same way of the legacy world servers. You played 1.0 ? Then your character had a moon/dragon fall on them so they get the mark.

Yeah. They really need to find a new term for 1.0 characters/servers lol. It tends to cause confusion when ever it's brought up.

Maybe just call them 1.0 Servers and Characters?

Now it says for people who survived the calamity. Does that also mean 1.0 characters who didn't get Legacy but were there, or just Legacy players?

I would assume that despite being called a "Legacy" mark, it refers to ALL 1.0 players.

That'll be cool. Another cool feature people will complain about not having.

Indeed. However, please note that I can be mistaken. This shouldn't be taken as insurmountable proof.

So it is... I guess I never paid much attention to the decor in there...

If you didn't pay attention to the room interior in the past,
you definitely won't pay attention to it now. ^^

HA! Not this one! I got neck for days!!

I really hope if it's the symbols of the 12...that CHANGING your deity during the character remake will let you change it. I originally chose Byregot, but I really DON'T want Byregot anymore. Besides, his symbol is a hand...i don't want that on my neck. Oschon however.....

Why you posting here?? Didn't I see you post this somewhere else? lol!

I wanted todoit! ; ;

I hope we still get this on our "legacy character" if we take advantage of the one time remake.

Nope, You just have to wear pointy hats! When my miqote wears the hats, I remember she puts her hair up and her whole neck becomes visible! Yay for tattoos?

Actually, I looked at old screenshots.. It didn't show the back of the neck.. I must be getting mixed up with something else!

I need no mark. My deeds will be my Legacy.

Sounds cheesy but it's true. Sargatanas will be as noob friendly as I can make it.
