As a non-legacy player who started on Sargatanas due to being roped in by friends who did play 1.x what I can add is that you might end up feeling a bit behind Gil wise. Loads of things sell dirt cheap apart from the top end crafted gear which can go for anywhere between 1-4 million Gil. So if you've got crafts to 50 and can craft Vanya etc you can probably make a pretty penny.
