RIP title collectors :(

-snip-

This would actually be a great idea to make for an anniversary sometime. Not the complete storyline ofc, that would be too much. But remake some vital points in the old 1.0 main storyquest. Relive the legacy that is now lost since the calamity. I dunno how that would fit into ARR (timetravel, visions maybe?), but I think that would be fun. And we would have the cutscenes saved up if we wanna re-relive them again.
I didn't play 1.0 but I would love to see how the story was.

I will never be a Princess for a Day and I've grown to accept that.

There is a Princess title from Lords of Vermillion I think, that would be the second best route to go! I hope they give us more Princess titles lol

Not the complete storyline ofc, that would be too much.

Yeah, of course; this would be a great place to apply all those ideas people post about how to abridge the late-ARR MSQ quests.

As far as fitting it into the storyline, well, make it a sidequest series and use the echo or NPC flashbacks as a framing device. Or, heck, maybe our good friend the Wandering Minstrel could help us out.

Why? How come they get to complete their collections but I can't just because I played at the wrong time? So now any new player starting the game that wants to collect everything just has to deal with it? Sorry, that's just not cool.

I'm sorry, but I really hope that you are joking.

1.0 was a disaster. It almost destroyed the Final Fantasy name, that's how bad it was. Legacy exclusives need to remain exclusive for those that were loyal enough to SE and the FF name to pay for and play 1.0.

Like, I am all for people having other 'time-exclusives' such as past event items and whatnot, but I really think 1.0 stuff should be left for the legacy players.

So this happens when people get teached 'collecting' by pokemon.

Gunna catch dem all.

Does any museum have 'all' the art? Does (the average) oldtimer, stamp, vinyl, video games collector gonna 'have them all' at some point?
I wouldn't stop a PS3/4 tropy collection, just because there are some time-gated (not doable anymore) trophies out there that I can't get anymore.

Do they cry all the time because they can't get something expensive or because it would be to much effort? There are some things only existing 10 times and still millions of people collecting such kind of things..

I'm fine with bringing back anything from 1.0 that wasn't promised to stay exclusive. In fact I'm still quite salty about some achievements becoming legacy only unannounced and was gonna get them in 2.0.

No, I didn't play during 1.X (I didn't even know Final Fantasy had an MMO back when 1.X was a thing, had never heard of XI, don't think I'd ever preally hard of Final Fantasy period until I came to FFXIV), so I didn't get the exclusive stuff from 1.0... boohoo cry me a river. Then build a bridge and get over it. The 1.X rewards should stay exclusive even if it means I'll never get them, because from what I hear, if those people hadn't supported 1.X, then ARR and HW would never have been a thing and then NONE of us would have been able to enjoy the game. They deserve some manner of thanks, and that is the legacy rewards. I do believe in exclusives and with the PvP stuff I said it shouldn't be top 10 per datacentre but only one person in the entire world getting it, for maximum exclusivity. Bring the top player from each datacentre to a massive tournament to see who is the best of the best (they copy your character to a tournament realm and then you go for a massive LCS style clash)

Removing the minion from Top 10 in Season 3 was silly. Almost as silly thinking that a minion collector who is or as been rather casual towards PvP can just pick up into Feast Season 3 and have any chance at placing Top 10.

I PvP. Often. And come no where close to Top 10 (hard to carry on WAR, but I'm stubborn), but I'm perfectly fine with it. They earned those prizes. And if you think they didn't, just queue up and see how much effort it takes.

Sometimes I regret not sticking with 1.0, but I understand truly. I could of bought the game but I was still playing XI so that kind of put the kibosh on moving to XIV for a time.

Part of me wishes they'd make a mini expansion (Like Abyssea in XI) where you can play just the highlights of 1.0 scenario, it would obviously involve time travel but it would give the non legacy people a chance to play through classic XIV in some form or another.

I'm glad there are people im this thread who didn't play 1.x, yet understand what legacy is about

When square asked us to pay a sub to help development there was a lot of "omg now the games gonna die" posts on here but it didn't...and here we are. Personally I didn't even know about legacy until the day I got it and my bf pointed it out "look, you got legacy! Cool"

I was like huh what's that...oh, word..nice lol but I would have paid regardless. I really enjoyed ffxiv from the day it launched in 1.0 till now and id happy do it again.
