Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[KaiDennDalk]

I never really played the original Final Fantasy 14 nor did I have a Legacy account but in my main story a few people have already mentioned that I look familiar.

That's normal. It's what you are supposed to get as a 2.0 character.

1.0 characters however are supposed to not get the opening with the chocobo carriage and instead being teleported directly near their starting city like in "A New Begining" trailer. Also at least one NPC with some special power is supposed to recognize you (being vague here to not spoil).

Bump . . . . . . .

Why isn't this getting more attention? It seems like a pretty big deal to me...

We have 2 problems here :

- Too many 1.0 players don't even realise they don't have the right cutscenes (just seeing some npc saying "you seem familiar" make them think they have the Warrior of Light scenario)
- There is not a thread about this on JP forums

Now, I think if we don't get any answer from devs/mods about this is because of these 2 reasons. In order to raise people and more importantly devs' awareness about our problem here, we need someone speaking japanese (or at least who can write it) to open a similar thread on JP forums.
One could understand that the devs are not focused on this matter right now with server congestion and all, but that we can't even get a simple answer is unforgivable considering the importance of this matter (I mean it's the main story, right?) for those of us who cares about the role playing part in the word RPG. Even if it's to tell us they will do something later, at least we will know they are on it instead of being kept in complete dark.

So please, if someone can open a thread about this on JP forums, you will have the thankfulness of everyone here, starting with me ^^v.

I have (3) 1.0 characters - only one entered the White Raven fight (didnt beat it). Thats the character that got the Legacy cut scene at the beginning. But all my characters after the intro cutscene are getting the same story line about the vaguely familiararity treatment.

The one thing that is really unnerving me to a certain degree is that they have known about the bug since Beta Phase 3 back in June, but so far, not a single official word about it has been said/written. Makes the statements of "the importance of our most dedicated fans" (read: legacy players) have a bit of a strange resonance in my opinion.

But I do agree that they currently have bigger fish to fry with the server problems. Once those are fixed (hopefully come wednesday), I expect them to focus on other bugs, this one included.

Bump...

Well, at least this thread ( http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...zed-as-Legacy/ ) is now marked as "Accepted Bugs", maybe this is a good sign?

On wednesday maintenance notice, they wrote "- Address several known issues". I hope this bug's fix will be on the train...

Actually, it wouldn't let me reply to it earlier, I had assumed it had been closed.
