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

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

Actually, 1.0 retainers were in fact moved with your 1.0 character into ARR, in fact, after transferring their 1.0 character into ARR, a 1.0 player could immediately rehire their 1.0 retainer from the Retainer Vocate as soon as they started ARR (and didn't have to play through the story to get Minfilia to unlock them) - you had to create a new appearance for them though. But you could keep their old name and they had everything you stored on them intact.

Curiously a 1.0 retainer also has the Legacy mark (depending on if you equip gear on them that keeps their upper back bare, the default Retainer outfit hides it), which proves even more a 1.0 player retained their.. um.. retainers.
