Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[Zeille]

So 1.0 Get the ring, 2.0 Don't? That's how we know?

Other way around. If you didn't get one of those starter rings, you got the legacy intro story-line. If you got a ring, you got the "new player" story-line.

Just to add onto this, I fought Nael (multiple times ugh) but never actually won the fight. I got the legacy intro (no ring for me).

Still hoping for an answer on this

Eh, the way I remember SE describing it, it seemed to be something all 1.0 chars would get, just by virtue of being 1.0 chars.

Got new character intro, but eh I changed my looks so lore wise it makes sense in a way.

...Except that you got the Tattoo on the back of your neck.

How do you mean, "Legacy Story?" There is a slight alteration story for 1.0 characters' stories who completed FFXIV 1.0's main story completely. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Legacy, as my other Legacy friend does not get this story for not having completely finished all main story quests.

Jinketsu, can you maybe put those shots together for us?

I've noticed on my legacy character the hesitation, but has anyone rolled a non-legacy character to see if the same hesitation appears? I've always wondered if those extra shots of "hmmm... you look... nevermind" were added just for certain characters as the way they are cut together makes it seem like it could be a "deleted scene" as it were.

Agreed, that was what I was thinking as well.

The major NPCs seem to suggest that my characters look familiar to them somehow. But they even said that on the new character I made during P4. I know that I did not receive the unique introductory cutscene on Hestern, my 1.0 character, but my characters, even my new characters, are still being treated as familiar to NPCs.

Are all players/characters then treated as "familiar" in some way, then?

Is there anyone here who qualified for the legacy campaign (I didn't), completed Nael van Darnus/1.0 storyline (I didn't), but still didn't receive the slightly modified intro scene (I didn't)? Could it be tied to the legacy campaign somehow? That is what I am trying to figure out here.

I'm perfectly okay with not having the intro scene, to be clear here. This post isn't a complaint -- more curiosity. For example, if every character seems familiar to the major NPCs, then it presents to me a hypothesis for what will happen next in the story... Hmmm...

So to compile the information we already have on the issue.

1. It is widely believed from Square-Enix's wording that all characters made in 1.0 will have the "Legacy Story" that has a different opening without the carriage ride and just appear out of thin air and walks into town similar to the CG Derplander. You will also get a Legacy Mark and slightly different dialogues with NPCs at various points in the main story.

2. The way to tell whether your 1.0 got the "Legacy Story" is from the intro and Minfilia's dialogue. She will specifically apologize for having to act if she doesn't know you.

3. Whether you beat Nael seems to have no bearing on whether you get the "Legacy Story" or not. For example, Zeille and Keres above have not beaten Nael in 1.0 but still got the Legacy beginning.

4. We have no idea if Legacy status is required to get the "Legacy Story", however, there are players who DO have Legacy status, such as ravndark, who still got the new character story and not the "Legacy Story"

I'd also like to add that I'm a none-Legacy 1.0 player who only got as far as the quest where you attempt to settle the dispute between the crystal exchange company and the Ixian and Amal'jaa. I did NOT get the "Legacy Story" intro.

Bump.

Early Access stars in a few hours now, so if we could get some answers please...

They are not going to answer this before EA lol.. This has been brought up several times since B3 and even accepted into the bug section with no official response. So don't hold your breath. They are not wiping P4 character data either so we have all already missed out on it whether we were suppose to get it or not. The most they will do as a fix is change all 1.0s characters story book in the inn with the updated scene and give the same copy and paste apology they always give.
