Legacy and Lore Question

[Enkidoh]

The thing is, for a lot of npcs, this "you seem familiar to me" line is actually just a generic response they give to all adventurers, including new players, making it come across as just 'lumping all eggs in the one basket', and hence regarding both 1.0 and new characters both as The Warriors of Light (after all, if everyone in Eorzea is suffering from amnesia, whose to say a 'new' adventurer really is? They could have been struck down with amnesia themselves, were present at Carteneau and were cast down to the bottom again, like in the first Knights of the Old Republic.)

Or maybe I'm just desperately trying to give some story connection to my 1.0 character who got the 'Legacy story bug'.

Changing the subject slightly but still on Legacy, is there any lore explanation for the Legacy Chocobo? The description for the mount says 'five years and a realm-shattering Calamity later have not broken the bonds between you and your loyal steed.' seeming to suggest the player had this mount before the Calamity.

However, it's an entirely new mount - it's actually slightly smaller and slower than the Grand Company ones, and has an unusual saddle and barding. The fact it's feathers appear tinged black seems to suggest even more it was actually at Carteneau too with the player (it shares the 'Legacy mark' with the player as well on it's beak!).

I just got thinking about this when I was in game earlier riding it and just wondered if there is or will be a story connection to this mount.
