Suggestion: For Rising 2019

[Jijifli]

By the way I find the "I couldn't play the game back then!" as an excuse so dumb. Unless you were a child at the time there wasn't much of a reason you couldn't have bought the game and if you had a semi-decent computer. The legacy mark didn't even NEED you to have an active sub or have played for a specific period of time to qualify for. If your account was from pre-ARR any created characters from that period in time will have the legacy mark.

When the game came out, I was a student in High School with very little Final Fantasy knowledge in the first place. I couldn't even pay for my own wow sub. Didn't even hear of the game either. Can't quite play a game I didn't know about, at all. Literally none of my friends heard of it, not even my friend that's a HUGE Final Fantasy fan.

So no. I couldn't play it back then. Because I didn't even know it existed. Which is funny, because I've constantly seen advertisements for MMO's. Yet, never saw one for 14. In fact, I even saw more for Mabinogi, Nexon's game that has one of it's famous facts of having almost no advertising.

Guess what, I didn't know about it either. And given it was 7-8 years ago I believe, I was in university and could afford it if I wanted to play it. Well tough bananas. Neither of us deserve it. Not knowing (even with very little to no advertisement or even being a hardcore FF fan not knowing about it) matters not. All that matters is that you did not play it. Nothing else matters, no matter how much you try to spin it otherwise. It's that plain and simple, that black and white. Any further discussion is fruitless because it's that simple.

Don't have anything to add to this thread, but am trying to reach out to Paladin. Can you reach out to me on discord? I have some questions.

No denying that SE really didn't advertise the game that much. There may have been one or two commercials on television and some internet coverage but certainly not a lot. Likely because of the fact the game was getting such negative criticism for the state SE released it in at the time. Still, I'm sorry but it doesn't entitle you to get certain exclusives. There's games out there that have been out for years I haven't heard of either but that doesn't mean I'm entitled to get special limited release items either. The Mark of the Twelve (The real name of the legacy mark.) was applied to characters created pre-ARR meaning even players who HAVE legacy accounts cannot get it again if they didn't have any or deleted their characters from before the game's rerelease.
