Legacy Achievements

[Alexandre_Noireau]

Legacy items and status are the only Timelocked content that should never be opened to anyone.
Is the only form of exclusivity that should be off the reach of any new players.

Now fix the Feast and let me grind my Hellhounds, thank you.

To take away the pride of people who supported this game during a period that was turbulent is not right. Should I be a astronaut because Jeff Bezos went up in space and the thanked me as a Amazon customer for paying for it? To me it's disrespectful to try and take a piece of gaming history from those who stuck through it. It trivializes those who stayed and put in the time. I didn't stay and I am okay with not earning a title or tattoo. It's IMOP

I mean, I'd be 110% okay with this as long as I got a ride to space and back. Just one. Being a temporary astronaut would be fantastic.

I see this argument all too often from entitled players, in regard to mounts/titles/glamour from both Legacy FFXIV and the Feast. In both cases a small minority of the players supported a game/mode that was not widely popular at the time and provided feedback that SE has used to improve each, and in both cases entitled players have demanded that they be given access to those same rewards. I’m glad SE has (for the most part) ignored the entitled players and continued to keep this stuff exclusive.

Honestly, as a Legacy player that is missing their titles and achievements, I'd just like mine back thank you very much.

You will find that once everyone and their grandmas is running around wearing the cool, rare, unique thing it stops being cool, rare and unique and you no longer want it, rendering the whole point behind this thread moot

Not a 1.X player (probably would have been if it was on console but...well...)
The only way titles should be obtainable again is if they bring back 1.X servers (and that will not happen). Titles are linked to achievements. To complete an achievement, you need to...achieve something.
And there is no reason to get the same title from doing a different achievement in the current game.
I think people should push more for the Ishgard restoration ranking titles than for 1.X titles. There is really no reason not to have Ishgard seasons happening on a regular basis.

The reduced sub fee is also clearly deserved.
Other legacy items are a bit more debatable in my opinion. But I am not as mad at those than I am seeing people with a fancy emote just because they bought a really expensive merch that I personally would not want in my house.

As much as I too would like to see some 1.0 stuff become available again(*)
--- I don't wanna take more special stuff away from our dwindling number of Legacy players.

(*Lauan/Willow/Yew/Oak Halfmasks; to satisfy my massive want to cosplay NPC, mostly not even for rp purpose!)

Like the chocobo, or the Goobbue. Or the Dalamud horn? Or the achievements/titles. 1.0 was that much of special kinda hell, as they say and as many have, so they deserve the goodies :'D

(*i know healers/casters/ranged get similar mask as lvl56 crafted headpiece --- the gem on it's forehead just triggers something in me and i don't want it!!)

SE gave players a cool cap and a chair in DQBII depending on how far through DQBI players made it, just as another example. I wouldn’t necessarily call either of these “failed” games but there is certainly precedent for getting rewards in one game for having played a previous iteration. Herme’s Shoes (for playing FFXI) and Asuran Armguards (for playing FFXIII) are examples of other time-gated special items granted to players who played other SE games at the time (technically Asuran Armguards can still be obtained but only if you have a new first-print copy of FFXIII, and even then you have to work with SE’s support team since the codes don’t work any more, and depending on who you talk to there they may deny it so I still consider it a time-gated item).
