Interesting. I didn't know that there was a difference in the story for Legacy and non-Legacy characters apart from the opening sequence. So basically, for Legacy players, Eorzea's champion makes a triumphant return, branded by their experience but otherwise none the worse for wear. For us newer players, the old WoL just... never came back. They were whisked away on that day on Cartineau and nobody has seen them since. Since the Legacy WoL doesn't "return" in the MSQ of a new player, Hydaelyn never lifts that veil and they don't remember who the WoL used to be. In their place a new hero rises up, etc etc. It's all very tidy. I like it.
