Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[Anapingofness]

I know that some people got farther than others. That's fine, I'm glad some people were able to finish the 1.0 storyline. I wasn't so lucky and in my defense, it wasn't from the lack of trying.
However, and far more importantly, when subs started- those who stayed behind supported the game just as much as the players who got though 100% of the 1.0 content.
There weren't that many of us left when the subs started. I don't see why SE couldn't include all of the 1.0 players who continued to support SE up until re-launch. They could have written the 2.0 storyline so that it fit for everyone. Instead, they chose to exclude people who rightfully deserve to be included in this. It's a slap in the face to the rest of the people who supported the relaunch of FFXIV.

I'm not trying to steal the glory from the players that passed all of the content. Nor am I trying to devalue their hard work. I can't possibly do so, those are your victories and your experiences that I unfortunately won't get to experience. At best I can go look up the parts that I missed and live vicariously though that.

That being said, I know I said I'd get over it, and I will- but it will also take some time.
I know I shouldn't be this disappointed over this issue and yet, here I am, truly bothered by it. So much so that I have practically lost all desire to play my legacy character. For my 2.0 character, each time I hear/read "Heroes of Light" it's like having salt rubbed into a wound.

Make no mistake, it's not the "specialness" of the 1.0 opening and being remembered by NPC's- it's what it represents. People are rightfully upset- myself included- that our support and efforts were thrown out the window on what appears to be a technicality or just dumb luck. They basically said that our support was practically worthless when compared to the few that got the 100% completion.
If all it takes is some rewriting to make sure everyone who continued to support the relaunch of FFXIV got that 2.0 opening/etc then SE should patch it as soon as the server issues are resolved.
If it means adding cut scenes for these people, then so be it- just don't insult people who have continued to support you and this game!
