An idle question to non-legacy players

[Aegis]

No, they didn't - the 'mark' simply identified that character as being a character transferred from version 1.0 - all 1.0 characters got that mark, and it had nothing to do with Legacy status or how far you got in the storyline (the later of which was the deciding factor whether or not you got the 'special' storyline with the opening of the character 'warping' in and Minfilia remembering who you were, and the special extra bit of dialogue in the ending where everyone finally remembers who you are and everything you did in 1.0.).

Unfortunately SE made this whole thing rather confusing, using the term 'Legacy' loosely to describe contradictory things. But ah well.

Ah, I thought the legacy mark and the legacy chocobo were only for those that fulfilled the requirements of the new storyline. But, come to think of it, my level 3 THM mule has both.

Yeah, I think SE use the term pretty interchangeably, lol. Very sloppy, SE.

What really hurts is I AM a legacy player, I have the mount, the tattoo, everything, but because no one told me I had to beat a certain quest and I was going through a hard time financially I miss out on our storyline.
