Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[KimimiAvesta]

So where was this mentioned *before* the quest became unavailable? It would appear that a lot of us failed to get the memo :/

Castrum Novum was not part of the main storyline correct? As in, just completing Future's Perfect/Main story was not enough?

Sucks, as in B3 Minfilia recognized me, so it came as a surprise that in B4 she was completely amnesic. >.>

[Reika]

which Castrum Novum quest?

the story one (grand company?)

He must be referring to the one where you have to run through castrum novum, which was an open dungeon, and get to the part that is actually an instance fight with a party and beat it. I belive the quest name was "Together we stand" or something like that.

In 1.0, btw.

Correction: United we stand (City state of your grand company here)

Castrum Novum is part of GC story quest.

And I did play as new and legacy. And there's a significance albeit a bit slight story difference between the two, at least up till u met Minfillia. Beyond that, I have no idea.

Greetings,

Please rest assured that this is in fact not a bug. In order for the alternative opening cutscene to play, you had to have cleared the Castrum Novum quest in 1.0. If this requirement was not fulfilled before the final data save, this opening will not be viewable.

I apologize for the delay in answering the questions and concerns about this, but if this was holding you up from progressing, please know that it is safe to do so. We hope you enjoy the story!

Well, this is huge disappointment, mostly considering we could have done something about it had we knew one year ago.

Back to get treated like a newbie by Minfilia & others..

The quest in 1.0 was "United We Stand" and was part of the Grand Company quest line. It was the quest prior to fighting Nael van Darnus.

If you were honestly interested in the game during the time this quest was available you would have been playing it. They probably didn't even have this planned in their development cycle before 1.0 shut down to give an alternate opening.

Correct, the Grand Company quest called "United We Stand."

[ArkhamNative]

Yay! An answer!

I'm thinking the story interpretation is that we didn't do enough to make us special in Minfilia's eyes. Oh well. It was fun supporting v1 and the dev team even if we are forgotten.

At least we got a participation award (tattoo), a sort of "try harder next time."

(To be clear: I'm glad we got the answer, and happy to continue leveling in ARR.)

What a shame it won't ruin my experience but I never had the chance to do that part of the game although I finished the main storyline

Ah well! The future of this game is going to be amazing regardless!

Actually this was the quest I was shouting in Ul'dah for before the servers went down, so I was interested in the game and very much trying to play it. :P
