Fixing Legacy Characters Story

[ravndark]

Is there any information about whether or not legacy characters that are not getting the legacy story are going to be addressed or if anything is going to be done at all?

What do you mean exactly?

Through beta (phase 4 available) you learned that the void has made people lose memory of you, so that is why people have this dumb expression when they look at you. "you are.. err.. derp, sign here new adventurer!"

Minfilia said we might be able to lift this veil on us though, so it looks like the 1.0 story isn't complete yet. More to learn and find out about them and as well about "us" if you are them.

Sorry if I didn't address your question.

How do you mean, "Legacy Story?" There is a slight alteration story for 1.0 characters' stories who completed FFXIV 1.0's main story completely. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Legacy, as my other Legacy friend does not get this story for not having completely finished all main story quests.

The legacy story (as I understand it) is slightly different to non legacy with the characters sometimes being "you're familiar but... umm...." and with some who do outright recognise you but then act like they don't. But it's not majorly different.

I'm assuming you mean the intro cutscene?

Something's still strange about it, because I got the "legacy" cutscene even though I hadn't completely finished the 1.0 story.

It makes no real difference, really, IMO; you can go watch the scene you missed on YouTube, and if you get the cart/boat intro, you can get a nice ring that you can't get otherwise.

I heard there were legacy players who did not in fact receive the legacy introduction and their characters do not receive the same dialogue throughout the story as other legacy players. A glitch.

lex don't use the word legacy, use 1.0 character vs 2.0 character you will confuse ppl into thinking there is 3 diffrent stories, legacy, 1.0, and 2.0 character.

I heard that there was supposed to be some differences in the intro but i didn't notice any...

There also are some differences in some quests such as Thancred saying that he seems to know you.

That is correct. There are a lot of legacy players (me included) who are not getting the legacy version of the main questline. It is treating us as if we are new players.

I think you had to beat Nael Van Darnus or the pilgrimage quest after Darnus to receive the 'legacy' intro. Not to be confused with the campaign 'legacy'. I heard some people saying they don't get the intro because of this back in P3.
