An idle question to non-legacy players

[Kiroh]

There are actually several points along story/quest lines that change for characters who beat nael in 1.0.

1.) The intro scene, when you go to register at the adventurer's guild the npc says something like "funny, your name is already here...".
2.) When you join the scions, Minfilia remembers who you are, but no one else does.
3.) In the CS where you're riding the airship with Cid to face Garuda, he explicitly remembers you as the one who challenged Nael with him in 1.0.
4.) After you beat Ultima, everyone else remembers you.

In case anyone wants to know how the "legacy" CS goes :

Merlwyb : He's still in there...

Raubahn : Cid! Has there been no word?

Cid : Nothing. Nothing at all.

Papalymo : Damnation!

Yda : He's going to make it. I know he is!

Y'shtola : Yda is right. We must have faith.

Kan-E-Senna : Cid, can they not be evacuated aboard the Enterprise?
That adventurer and the Scions are as the warriors of light reborn.
We cannot abandon them to their fate! Not again!

Cid : I wholeheartedly agree! But flying into the midst of that would only add to the fireworks!

Alphinaud : There must be something we can do!

Minfilia : Please mother Hydaelyn, please light his way through the darkness...

"Look into the light my child. If thou wouldst see thy companions returned safe to thee, reach out to them now."

Y'shtola : It's him. I feel his presence!"

Yda : Can it be...? Is it really him!?

Papalymo : I knew it! I knew it all along!

Kan-E-Senna : Who speaks...? The Crystal! She calls to us!

Merlwyb : I hear her! The voice of Hydaelyn Herself.

Raubahn : She speaks of...
Strike me down! No wonder he seemed so familiar! He's one of the Warriors of Light!

What are you smirking at Cid? You knew didn't you!?

Cid : Oh, You mean our adventurer friend? Did I forget to mention he was one of the Warriors of Light?

Saved Eorzea you know. Twice.

*Minfilia wipes away a tear*

Minfilia : The shroud is lifted. They remember you...

There!

*cutscene continues as normal*

As a legacy character, at the end of the original main story line, after killing Ultima Weapon etc, there's a moment where 'the penny drops' so to speak among the gathered NPCs and they all somehow remember who you were pre-V2.

Huh. That's pretty cool.

Nice. I thought legacy players didn't have any differences in story quests.

If I was a legacy player I would definitely appreciate these minor changes.

Perfect. Thank you.

Edited OP.

I noticed in the intro cutscenes to coil Turn 7 and 9 that various characters refer to me (a 1.0 player) as the one who personally defeated Nael van Darnus 5 years ago. Does anyone know what they say about you if you're not legacy/1.0?

I'm pretty sure they only mention this if you actually completed the relevant quest in 1.0 (1.23? Whatever.)

It was actually quite frustrating at the start. There are places in the storyline that are a bit ... odd because of it.

I mean, you log in for the first time, do some storyline and realise the devs chose to give everyone 'amnesia' to get around essentially writing two stories, which is a bit of a cop-out, but understandable.

Then you meet Minfilia and she *does* remember you, hooray! Only to say something to the effect of "Thank god you're alive, I remember everything about you. Now let me explain what the echo that you already learnt all about in version 1 is". Essentially they force in a quick nod of the head to you in a very awkward way that jars with the rest of the conversation.

Yes, exactly, so what do they say if you DIDN'T do that?

I now have a problem regarding my legacy character that has popped up. My Legacy Mark has vanished from the character. Had to use the /lmark command to get it to reappear. Anyone else with a Legacy (1.0) Character who has had a Similar problem?

[Enkidoh]

That's a bug that happens from time to time. As you said you just have to type /legacymark to get it to reappear (I haven't had it happen to me but it happened to my bf's character the other day - I had to help him get his character's Legacy mark back.) So don't worry, you're not alone, it's just one of those annoying little bugs that really aren't worth fixing because it's entirely possible the fix might just end up breaking something else in worse ways. Typing /legacymark fixes this issue anyway.

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.
