Adding Legacy Tattoo to Mog Station

[Rannie]

/snip

that was paraphrased from the official lodestone forums which are now no longer availble due to them changing the servers but that was what it said for the legacy campaign.

it was done for a specified time due to them starting to charge the 1.0 players a sub fee feeling the game was better than it had been since it was launched. it was also done after the subs were put into place like a couple of months and back logged for those who started paying when the subs were put into place

Also can anyone cite these promises? The only ones that I can find online in archives state nothing about one time only, just that players will receive it if certain conditions are met.

Not talking about the full campaign with the credits and lower sub, mind you, but just the tattoo.

Couldn't have said it better myself. There's your answer, coming from your own post. Nothing more needs be said.

The conditions can be met again if there is a kickback event, or more conditions are added. Nothing there was guaranteed as a one time event.

You can all be as rude as you want saying that I will never get it, but I can keep trying and asking for it until the very day this game shuts down. Never know what the future can hold!

You can keep asking but it is unrealistic to think that SE would return such an event. There is literally no reason for them to actually bring the legacy campaign back, seeing as how this version of the game is thriving. And no, your desires doesn't count as a reason, especially when you got the opposite side of the coin: Offending a chunk of the player base.

Good luck. Tis all I can say~ XD

No one can prove it to you unless they have the email still saved. the original lodestone along with the promise no longer exists. Give up.

I guess he'll just have to keep RP'ing with his shirt on and hope nobody asks him to remove it.

Yes, this topic has come up multiple times in the past already. Every time, the answer has been the same. Every time, the explanation has been the same. Every time, people have made various arguments, which all boiled down to, "it should happen anyway, because I want it".

You said something in previous posts, alluding to it just being "an event", and if they sell items from other past events, then they should sell the Mark of the Twelve as well.

Seriously?

If you can not distinguish between repeatable Seasonal Events involving bathing suits and yukatas, etc... and one involving the utter destruction of the world as we knew it (the Calamity), the end of the Seventh Umbral Era, and the closing of an entire version of the game... and seriously think they should be treated the same, then you are deep into straw-grasping territory and beyond reasoning with.

One event is kind of very unique. The other, not at all.

To put it another way: SE is not going to have a seasonal "Let's destroy the world" event.

Further, that you have continuously tried to diminish the significance of that event, and what the mark represents, by dismissing it as "just logging in", clearly indicates you neither understand nor appreciate the significance of those events, or the circumstances around them.

Further still, that you feel wanting to pretend (roleplay)your character was there is somehow worthy of equal,or even greater, consideration to having actually been there, underscores it. You clearly don't care about, and happily ignore the established lore of the game. Lore that informs and affects the entire world, the story and everyone in it. And then, you have the temerity to argue about "your RP backstory", as though that's more important?

You've gotten the answer to your request, and you've gotten accurate reasons why. You don't like the answers or the explanations, and that's unfortunate. But it doesn't change anything.

The answer will be the same, every time. The reasons will be the same, every time.

You weren't there. Your character didn't experience the events first-hand. You don't get the Mark. That's all there is to it.

Now, if you want something more official, here's a post by Camate from way back in 2012:
"As you all have been mentioning and speculating (and it was also mentioned during a previous Producer Letter Live!), everyone that is currently playing will have something visible on their characters to show they experienced and fought through the events taking place. We are planning to make this proof something on your body and in case you are not too keen on having this engraved/tattooed on your character, we will be adding an ON/OFF display feature.

I wonder what it’s going to be!"

Here's a bit about it, in an article about the Seventh Umbral Era on FF Wiki (under the : "Permanently Missable Items and Achievements" heading)
"After October 31st, 2012, no further player progress was saved and carried over to the new game. Other content, for example all sidequests directly related to the Umbral Era plotline, were available for players to experience for fun, but their completion would not be reflected by the new game's data. Naoki Yoshida also stated that all characters active before said release will have something that will "visually distinguish" them from those that weren't—this took the form of a tattoo on the upper part of the player's back. "

I remember Yoshi-P talking about it in a live letter and, given enough time, I can find that source, too.

Why do you want an ugly Legacy Tatoo? I want other tatoos able to be put on your body. If you buy a Legacy Tatoo it should just put a big $ sign on the back of your neck.

Most of the people being rude, are those asking for it. :l

It's pretty ridiculous, like they have to make 1.0 players out to be selfish pricks to prove that they deserve it, even though we didn't make the limitations. It wasn't as though SE was some gullible entity and we went to them and said, "Give us this one time event tattoo!" No, this was something that they decided themselves and they told us this would be an exclusive benefit. So we expect it to remain an exclusive benefit.

This isn't about convincing and demonizing people from 1.0 who want it to remain exclusive, it'd be about convincing SE why it would be a good reason for it to be brought back (none of which I've really seen, those present IE: "RP reasons" I don't agree with). But people in this thread are only interested in the prior, because shit slinging is the only way many know how to communicate.
