Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[KuroNoKaze]

Soralis, please don't take it to heart. It is just that most are a little on edge because ever since Beta 3 in early june, SE has known about this issue and not said anything about it.

The situation in a nutshell is as follows:

Many characters from the 1.x days are not getting the different intro/NPC talk and believe that to be a bug because SE never said anything else than "Legacy characters will receive a slightly different intro and treatment than new characters".
Those who claim you have to fulfill some prereqs like having done a certain Raid instance, a certain quest or gotten a certain achievement are only speculating/spreading rumours, regardless of how sure they seem to be about it, simply because there never was anything officially said about it at all.

And that is, quite frankly, the most aggravating thing about it. If it is a bug, why did SE choose to ignore it for so long? If it is working as intended and there are certain prereqs you need to fulfill, why did SE never simply say so? It is their silence that makes people angry, not necessarily the issue itself. (Of course, that last bit may vary from person to person, obviously. ;-) )

So, still nothing new and the update didn't change a thing. Well, at least not in the cutscenes that I rewatched. Still haven't progressed to Minfilia because I wanted to have that issue fixed till I do those quests.. But I don't have any patience anymore, to be honest :/

Please, SE, just say something! This is seriously bugging me..

[Alteiriaa]

It's buggin' me too. :/ I just want clarification at this point, did I have to do a certain thing to get the cutscene, like a quest or what?
Was kinda hoping it'd be fixed before I came home from my vacation but it sure isn't looking like it. ^^'

me and my friend got a different ending to the game i got lets say with out spoiling it, i got a 1.0 ending while he got a 2.0 ending.

I was like Animanis right before meeting Minfilia and losing patience but now that I've seen this, I'll definitely have to wait longer.

I guess I'll have to keep leveling my botanist and maybe a crafting job. Sucks being stuck at a point I can't ride a mount though (yet 4 mounts are waiting for my permit in my backyard)...

Wow, I am shocked. Thank you so much for this info, now I will definitely wait until SE will do something about this mess. I can't believe it..

wat
WHAT.
There is a alt ending? Welp, that's me waiting too.

[Whoopie_Pie]

I believe I did complete Futures Perfect, but I did not do the van Darnus fight. I got the carriage intro, and I just reached Minfilia earlier today, and she does not recognize me. As far as I'm concerned, I'm brand new. I did hear something about the population of Eorzea not remembering the 1.0 characters for some reason, like their memory was wiped, but don't hold me to that. I'd also be happy whenever it's fixed, I can still view the CS later - I can live with that.

Unless I didn't unlock *everything* that was required to get the other opening, in that case, my bad. XD

[KylePearlsand]

An Alternate ending as well? Alright, I think this needs to be fixed.

[Tari-F]

Went through and tried loading up a couple of my untouched 1.0 characters, and none of them got the alternate opening sequences.

I assume this means that players had to at least do something with their characters, though I have no idea what.


The characters I tested with were pretty much unused in 1.0. I'd run them through the introduction sequence and no more than that.
