Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[Alteiriaa]

Have to say I was kinda bummed when I didn't get at the 1.0 opening, though I haven't checked my other characters yet. (and tbh pobably won't until I get my main rolling properly again.)

I'd kinda like to see it pop up in the inn rooms at least, I kinda wanted people to remember Riaa but I'd kinda settle if I got to at least look at the opening with her in it. :<

I'm a little sad now. I had no idea how much was actually different until I saw those screencaps.

By the way, you keep hearing different "requirements" because there are people who don't want to just believe that all 1.0 characters count in this. It was said that story-wise, even if you weren't there gameplay-wise, all of us were part of the Battle of Carteneau. All of us were transported by Louisoix. That's why we all have survivor marks (that's what the tattoo is).
It's like how I was able to use Omnislash to beat Sephiroth at the end of FFVII, although gameplay-wise I never actually acquired Omnislash (don't judge me ).

Therefore, we should all have the slightly altered dialogue and the opening. It may be small, but if we are all Warriors of Light, we should all be treated so, so it must be a bug. That, and it was definitely accepted as a bug during beta. So there's no reason for people to keep trying to say that there were certain requirements.

I, for one, am a little sad that after all the time we spent together, Minfilia treated me like a stranger. I'd heard that there was some dialogue that mentioned that some people knew you, but have to pretend they don't, but I'd assumed maybe it was super subtle and I'd just missed it when I went through the storyline in P3. Now I'm sad all over again... XD I play games for the story, so I'd rather have little things like this happen for me if they're supposed to...

^This. A million "likes" for this.

I wouldn't even mind redoing the entire Main Quest line from the opening scene if they could fix the issue without reseting our levels and our other progress. Somehow being a 1.0 character and being treated like a new adventurer disconnects me, and I assume others ,from the story. I'm starting to just click through everything I feel no connection to the story anymore. Where as when everyone has odd amnesia I was engrossed in the story and waiting to find out what happened next.

As far as I know, the dialogue may have been a tiny bit different from the new character version while talking with Miounne, but I also got the cart intro. I was rushing through it so fast though, that I didn't realize until it was too late since NPC quest dialogue does not show up in the chat log. I'd be happy if I can view the 1.0 character opening cutscene (or whatever 1.0 players should get as returning players) later via Inn Room even if it is fixed later, since the launch is obviously top priority at the moment

The thing for me mainly is that they know about this bug since Beta Phase 3, but so far, not a single official word has ever been posted... that is what pisses me off.
As it stands, I don't play FF14 at all because I have have no desire to miss out on the story I should be getting with my 3 Legacy Chars. (Yes, Story is one of my main reasons for playing.)
And starting a 4th (new) Char ... don't really feel like it, to be honest. 3 Chars (one for each starting city), once they work as intended, are more than enough to chew through.

So, SE, I seriously hope you get your act together at some point and at least talk to us about this issue.

I understand we have more pertinent priorities with the game, but I have to say... I was so incredibly bummed out after meeting Minfilia. I thought I had the legacy story line despite not getting the intro, because the NPC's kept saying I looked familiar. I was expecting Minfilia to explain that there was a spell and yada yada yada. I just met her, got my primal questline, and not one word about looking familiar in anyway.

Like I said, I know it isn't more important than getting these servers fixed, but I've really been looking forward to this for a long time. Super disappointed I'm not getting to enjoy my 1.0 character as intended. ,_,

This, honestly. It's escalating in my eyes from being minor inconvenience to something that's really killing the game for me. I play for the story, and I can make another char if I really want to experience the 2.0 storyline. I don't.

I'm pretty sure you needed to have completed "Future's Perfect" and unlocked the "Once in a lifetime" achievement in 1.0 to get the so-called legacy storyline. The only reason the legacy storyline would make sense would be if you defeated Darnus, prayed at all of the stones which would lead you to being teleported to safety after Bahamut wrecked havoc.

Is there anyone here who actually unlocked the "Once in a lifetime" achievement and doesn't have the legacy storyline? It wouldn't make sense for you to have the legacy storyline if you didn't unlock it.

Very interesting except people who never fought van darnus got the right cs.

It's a bug known from beta phase 3 that needs to get fixed and FAST !
