The "Meteor mark": anyone else come upon this issue?

[KisaiTenshi]

Again, had we but KNOWN that our old characters were still there, we'd definitely have paid to transfer them off of the Japanese cluster...

You do realize that they emailed all the email addresses of accounts that ever had an active V1.0 characters to move them right? And by active, I mean you minimally got past the opening cutscene and did anything.

Like my main character has the mark, but not the chocobo, because the chocobo wasn't available when I last logged into it.

What wasn't moved, retainers. Not that I think mine had anything of value on it.

I doubt SE could do anything at this point because while the tattoo is simply a cosmetic flag, it's covered up by nearly all gear that isn't a bathing suit, thus there is likely an entire multi texture layer reserved for just the tattoo. If SE ever gives options for body-paint/tattoos, you might see the tattoo disappear if something replaces it.
