I guess the question, is it the character or the player behind the character? I don't remember when Potion of Fantasia was introduce but I'm sure it wasn't at 2.0 launch so those Legacy players that wanted to be Male Miqo'te or Female Roe were SOL to have their earned Legacy mark. Then all Legacy Player got their Legacy Chocobo even though that should have been tied to a character rather than player. Personally I think it's more important to recognize the Legacy Player, not just the Legacy Character.

Also all mounts can fly so logic is out the window >_>
