Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[Enkidoh]

It has been confirmed though that regardless if you had a gobbue horn from 1.0 if you hadn't signed up for a Grand Company in 1.0 then you can't use it in ARR until you sign up for one as part of the storyline (and the same goes for other mounts as well), but that's unconnected to the 'Legacy storyline' bug. Same as if you didn't hire a retainer in 1.0, then you can't use them in ARR until you gain the ability by default when you join

the Scions of the Seventh Dawn

, just like a new character.

It's disappointing the 1.0 opening bug has happened to so many people, including me, but sadly, it's now at the stage that anything done to correct it would be too little too late, as most 1.0 players would be playing already and a great deal have already been affected by it, making any attempt to fix more a case of closing the stable door after the chocobo has bolted, apart from being able to view the cutscene in the Unending Journey as has been stated.

Which is a shame, as I was so looking forward to seeing the much promised Legacy storyline only to find I got the new character opening despite clearly having the Legacy mark on Enki's back (which no npc draws attention to at all!) along with starting the game with the Armoury System unlocked, a retainer and a ton of gear on me already, and still people treated Enki like a new adventurer (I felt like slapping Miounne with the stupid 'Adventurer's Guild' linkpearl she gave me in 1.0 when she asked Enki to sign up to the Guild, again!).

Considering this bug gives a 1.0 player affected by it an item they shouldn't actually receive (the starting ring), I'm surprised SE has not already fixed it yet, unless they haven't yet been able to confirm whatever is causing this bug to fix it.

That seems like an extremely lazy way of completely not addressing a huge part of the story. I really hope I eat those words if there is actual story for us, but it's not likely.

So 1.0 Get the ring, 2.0 Don't? That's how we know?

Other way around. If you didn't get one of those starter rings, you got the legacy intro story-line. If you got a ring, you got the "new player" story-line.

Just to add onto this, I fought Nael (multiple times ugh) but never actually won the fight. I got the legacy intro (no ring for me).

Eh, the way I remember SE describing it, it seemed to be something all 1.0 chars would get, just by virtue of being 1.0 chars.

Damn it, they screwed me over... Never fought Nael, but from what I remember of the live letters, and other letters, and general talk the only requirement was being a 1.0 player... I really pray they fix this, so I can at least see the appropriate stuff in my Journal in inn room.

bump in hopes of information

[Oscillate_Wildly]

Yeah it was a problem back in phase 3, and continues to be somewhat a problem in phase 4.
One thing I noticed was that I had joined a GC in 1.0. Gridania, had the officer's coat and everything but I got an error every time I tried to summon my Goober. No idea what happened there but it seemed to be happening to a lot of people regardless of having joined a GC in 1.0 or not.

[Gramul]

I'd like an official word on this.

[Jasmine_Aurelia]

Yeah apparently I didn't get the Legacy opening either and since they DID say -ALL- 1.0 Characters when it was first announced I hope they fix this and we can rewatch everything at launch or down the line somewhere.
