Any chance we could get a new "Legacy-mark" for the pre-Heavensward Event? =D

I personally wish the legacy mark applied to characters made on your account, rather than JUST imported characters. I have a legacy mark on two characters but neither is my main since I didn't really want to play on a JP data center at launch.
But that's just me.
The game could use more one-time events though, tbh. Those always attract a lot of attention and are good about giving players something to feel special about. Maybe not something like the legacy tattoo, but maybe a face paint option like the bat one from halloween, or a special scar option. Y'know, the kind of thing we get already, just special for participating early.

The reason why the Legacy mark is character based is because it's whole point is to identify a 1.0 character and not a player - all characters that were created in 1.0 were transferred into ARR regardless of account status. Thus the Legacy mark identifies this character as preceding ARR's existence.

The Legacy chocobo on the other hand, is account based - but not all 1.0 players have this, only those who qualified for the Legacy Campaign (that is, subscribed to 1.0 for more than 90 consecutive days) gained this. it's whole point was a thank you from SE for sticking with the game in it's darkest hour.

These were all offered as bonuses simply because 1.0 was being shut down with ARR being a complete replacement for it. Heavensward on the other hand, is merely an expansion pack and just adds onto what is already there, so there is no need to give a 'special mark' to those who played before the expansion. Veteran rewards satisfy the 'thank you for playing the game' enough.

While I am not in agreement that the Legacy players should have a discounted for life subscription on a now immensely successful and sustaining game, I do believe that the Legacy mark should be a 1.0 reward that is exclusive to the legacy players.

We don't all need to be special flowers with our specific "Hey look at me" marks that really don't mean anything to newer players. 2.0 marks would tell players, "Oh hey, I played the game before expansion..." while 1.0 Legacy marks tell people that they played a dying game that technically did die before it was rebooted.

I understand this is the point, but it would still be nice as an option for those who needed/wanted to move servers before server transfers were allowed but wanted the legacy stuff...

Agreed on both points; I didn't play in 1.0, but if you did, you should totally be able to use the Legacy-mark on all of your characters.

And yeah, more one-time events with cosmetic rewards are always nice. To be honest, they've done a pretty stellar job anyways, but I like the idea of something to really mark the end of "A Realm Reborn", and kickstart Heavensward. Like I said, I'm absolutely not trying to steal the thunder from 1.0 players, as those things should totally remain exclusive. Rather, I think it would be cool if each pre-Expansion event gave something else, so that us ARR fans have something that, a few years from now, might seem cool or rare, just as players who join after Heavensward launch might eventually have a cool cosmetic treat to show off even further down the road.

I'll say this,


I supported a horrible game that a lot of people abandoned, and supported about a year of paying for the game when the game honestly wasn't even a fraction as good as it is now. even when yoshi-p made it tolerable, it wasn't worth paying, but 1.0 legacy players supported and believed in him, without any clue who the hell he was.

so no i don't support new tattoos, its not a big deal but i'm pretty proud of that legacy tattoo, and my choco

and the 10 bucks a month


1.0 players are ride and die players.

The legacy mark is really not a good name for the tattoo, considering it has nothing to do with the 'legacy' accounts.. The tattoo is for every character transferred from 1.0 to 2.0, and is more a meteor survivor mark than a legacy mark.

If the change from 2.0 to 3.0 is as big as 1.0 to 2.0, a tattoo might make sense, but if it's just a direct continuation (instead of spanning 5 years), it'd be a bit strange. Maybe a tattoo parlour could be added though

[Laerune]

I think instead of getting another mark for playing A Realm Reborn, SE should start giving players more options in creating their characters. Why not ask for a body tattoo option for all characters? The only way to get a body tattoo you either need to be a legacy character or equip a chest item which has a tattoo mark on it.

I rather see a tattoo option via the barber npc, we could have alot of symbols, from the meteor to class icons to past FF series icons like Lightnings/Serah necklace as a tattoo.

I completely understand where you're coming from, but I think that we already do have a decent amount of exclusives in this game to show for having played throughout the first year and anniversary celebration back in Aug/Sept. What would be nice to see though is more exclusive, limited time content added to the game over time, that would reward more gear and customization options. I think that to a certain degree everyone likes to feel special, and denying the new players of today the chance to get exclusives would be kind of unfair seeing how we have at least the rewards from those events for any players that have been playing long enough to have experienced them. So it might be nice to see some limited time event lead us into 3.0 that would be much more on par with the Lightning event than the end of 1.0.

Also, I don't see why we can't eventually be given the option to choose body tattoos in character creation or through the aesthetician. Not anything near the legacy tattoo but some pretty standard looking arm tattoos, neck tattoos or something. It seems to be a fairly popular idea. It would allow players to be able to keep the look they want for their character regardless of what gear they wear. Might not be the most suitable thing for an event though.

I think something unique like a pair of earrings or something would be nice but not necessary.
