FFXIV ARR: Legacy Character Intro
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- EDIT: To clarify some things this intro was for people who had a character in FFXIV 1.0 (the bad times) and played it into A Realm Reborn. Legacy isn't much of a thing anymore as the only thing that separates Legacy characters from new ones are potentially the First Gobbue mount, Dalamund horn and the various achievements and titles.

According to another comment on another video
- Get a place in the actual credits of the game
- Get a permanent discount on the subscription
- Get a unique legacy mount
- Your 1.0 characters carry over and retain ALL levels, items, gear (with things from scrapped systems being able to be turned in for other resources) and they even get a special tattoo
- Your legacy characters get a special intro to the game, and some dialogue and cutscenes change to reflect that you're one of the original Warriors of Light, which also carries over in the expansions
- Because how important the Calamity is to the setting, you are literally part of the lore
Lore discounts, would love to have it.
Holy crap, I kinda regret not playing the original game now
If I can ever figure out time travel I'll need to play from the start xD
I wanted so badly to play back when it was first announced but cash flow was too low.
@@Dalavine I don't know if you'd want to play it from the start, but near the end it seemed like a pretty solid game. The very original version of 1.0 was honestly just terrible, there's a reason it almost single handedly destroyed Final Fantasy as a whole
There are some mistakes in your post. Legacy characters only get a special intro if they did the grand company scenario, for example I have 5 Legacy characters, only 4 got the special intro, the fifth got the normal ARR intro, even though she has a legacy tattoo, I just never did anything with that fifth character in 1.0-1.23b, so she didn't get the legacy intro. Also, people believe that you kept everything from 1.23b, here is what was removed: everyone had 90% of their gil removed, yep they stole 90% of our gil, got nothing for it... so many items were deleted, I had hundreds of an item that cast a spell called Shell, and another that cast protect, both deleted along with lots of other items. all gear that had a color in it's name but was not named "Dated" was removed (i lost some gear that is still not in 2.0+, cannot be duplicated with dyeing at all, including an awesome bandana and tabard that I still miss nearly a decade later.) we also lost all the dyes, all of them, those amazing colors from Dated gear are no longer an option...
The real travesty is that to this day Legacy players still cannot rewatch this scene.
You can watch this sequenz, its just not listed as main story. Its listed as the first sidequest in la noscea, the second scene in the quest i think.
This is mostly true. Depends what City State you begin in.
Regardless, THANK YOU!
Actually it can be seen. Under your city's sidequest. For me, it's "Coming to Ul'dah".
Had no idea legacy players had a different opening
you didn't need to know @_@ you didn't endure our strife!
@@MarionKimble Learned the strife you are talking about not too long ago.... dam you guys are the true heroes..... well After YoshiP and the team of course.
@@MarionKimble whoa calm down there...
@@MarionKimble /salute
You damn well we did! ❤️
It's impressive that they treat the Legacy players so well that new players are jealous that they played the trash fire that Yoshi saved.
I started playing this a few days ago and this blew my mind. I thought the intro was the one the game had since his release, not that this is connected to the previous version of it.
Right? I'm truly thankful to the Legacy players who help kept the game alive. They deserve these special cutscenes and other stuff
As someone who started playing in 2010, 1.0 was a lot of fun. It's only awful in comparison to everything that came after, but since most of us had come from FFXI, the original XIV was still stunning by comparison. I remember being nervous that ARR was going to 'ruin' the game for me by being so different, but it was a drastic improvement.
@@brianbogholtz9485 Gotta disagree with that. As a longtime FFXI player I couldn't wait to say goodbye to Vana'Diel and embrace Eorzea. I lasted one week before running back to XI, like many others. 1.0 was a laggy, buggy mess of a game that was released way too early. Apparently it got much better by the time 1.23 hit but it required a subscription by then and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay to find out.
They should give something to beta players for ffxiv
Was hoping you'd enter the future Terminator style, walk up to the nearest Lalafell and demand their boots, shirt, and bike.
Your boots, your clothes, and your chocobo.
Another difference between legacy and non-legacy is I only have to pay $9.99 for my monthly sub :v Also, every NPC had amnesia about you because of the spell used to propel legacy characters into the future, but Minfilia remembers you due to the Echo. At the end of The Ultimate Weapon, it shows a quick cutscene of everyone remembering you.
Omg I got goosebumps
At least its understandable for the Legacy characters to have a cheaper sub, like a thank you and compensation
Only a cheaper sub if you paid during the final 6 months of the game before they temporarily closed down, since it was b2p for a full year. People that just bought the game and played for free didn't get the reduced costs. They also couldn't bring over their chocobo for some odd reason.
You also get 8 character slots on every server for free.
@@Hamstergeval I've heard that the chocobos the warriors of light of 1.0 used were awarded to the players later. I remember reading it somewhere. The lore is that the chocobos spent 5 years looking for you
Japanese fans on Twitter wrote that Japanese voice actress Rie Tanaka (Kan-E-Senna, Garuda, Sophia, Sadu, and Ameliance in Japanese; Female Miqo'te PC Voice Types 1 & 2; Female Elezen PC Voice Type 3) is a FFXIV legacy player. I just checked the FF14 legacy players listed under METEOR SURVIVORS in the A Realm Reborn 2.0 ending credits, and lo and behold! Rie Tanaka's name is there. The name of another JP VA & hardcore FF14 player, Yūichi Nakamura (Thancred, Soroban, and Byakko in Japanese), also appears there. Tanaka and Nakamura supported FFXIV, through thick and thin. Props to them and all legacy players!
No way dude! But were they having different names or their real ones?
@@yomi1351 Their real names. Just as an aside, from what I have seen from FFXIV videos and screenshots done by Japanese players in Japan, FFXIV ending credits are the same for the Japanese version as for the English version. Both have identical ending credits written in English, written with the English alphabet. The Japanese version of the Roman alphabet, Rōmaji, is taught in schools in Japan, along with Japanese Kanji (Japanese versions of traditional Chinese characters) and the two extant syllabary systems of Japanese Kana, Hiragana and Katakana.
@@crusherjoe8519 I see...often times people are using celebrities name, but if they were really playing the game I'm wondering if they had moments of being swarmed by fans. I find it very lovely to see VAs or actors play or watch the same thing as fans do :))))
@@yomi1351 I think I misunderstood the question. Some of the legacy players listed under METEOR SURVIVORS are obviously not using their real names. I have no idea what names Rie Tanaka and Yūichi Nakamura use for their player characters in Final Fantasy XIV. I do know that Tanaka plays a tank, a paladin, in the game. For a while, during Stormblood, Tanaka designed her paladin player character to look like Sadu, whom she voices in the game. Tanaka does live streams on CZcams of a number of single-player games. But her CZcams videos of her playing FFXIV appear to be only prerecorded.
@@crusherjoe8519 Yeah my bad, one word can create many misunderstoods XD
I remember my wife starting the game after arr started and she was in the kart and I was like wtf how'd you get a secret opening! Not knowing it was different since she hadn't played lol
The opening intro is also different if your classes are different,I mean the alliance.
It's not a kart is the bandwagon and I rode in on it myself lol
Honestly playing 1.0 was the best investment of my life. It sucked bad at launch, but it was actually amazing around 1.2X and I kinda wish we had a legacy client we could still play if we wanted.
Yoshi-P has a message for you regarding making a FFXIV Classic Server..... "Nightmare"... Means No.
legacy players are the real heroes and the dev team will always be thankfull for their support during the 1.0
they deserve all the special treatment
but i wish there was a way to watch all the differences in story for them even tho you're not
If you want further context this cinematic in the aether is after the legacy char is saved from annihilation at the Battle of Carteneaux by Louisoix's magic. So 5yrs stuck in limbo before ARR events begin...if I recall
I hate that I can recognize the area he spawns in as being somewhere in the Shroud. But then he runs over to a small ledge and apparently sees Limsa, which he runs to (Because of starting class).
This Legacy opening would make a lot more sense if you're starting in Gridania as it'd actually be walking distance.
TBF there's a 5 year time skip in between those 2 scenes.
@GameGod7 No I think he spawns 5 years in the future after the calamity. But I also don't know if he actually sees Limsa or if it's just likw in the opening screen movie where they come back. Maybe he's just shocked because the sky isn't falling anymore.
Oh this is in the movie part for arr. Where they teleport back in the woods and the black mage shows them the way out. That's awesome.
Ugh I'm so jealous. 14 is the first mmo I've actually gotten into and it's only been about a year. This must've been so nice for legacy players. They def deserved it from what I heard
Yep. Started recently too, and my only regret is that i couldn't help too.
@@minasthirith6314 If you haven't done so look up the servers shutting down for FFXIV 1.0. They had this whole ambience thing going on with hydaelyn faintly singing in the background and as soon as 12 AM hit, it swapped to the battle of carteneau cutscene and when Louisoux teleported the warriors of light away and the screen faded white, everyone got dropped back to the menu.
@@BullsMahunny Oh, Don't wory, I checked it.
That was the most beautiful server shutdown I've ever seen.
Genuine question, how did you stomach having to run 9 years of content to catch up, 7 of which has been made insanely easy to the point of being boring by stat creep? Like I really feel sad for new players, nothing is a challenge for literally hundreds of hours.
Very jealous that I was too young to play the original, haha
no your not, FFXIV 1.0 was shit, complete garbage and a waste of time and money
@@boundesumo Still was interesting to play for ARR
NIGHTMARE.
Same. I was too young and couldn't afford it
@@Fethos why do you want to play one pf the worst game of the last decade? Theres a reason it got remade
wow, ive been playing ff14 for years and i only just found out 1.0 players had a different intro, i wish i had experienced the horror that was 1.0 though, it just feels off not knowing what came b4 the reboot of 2.0
The only insight I have is that 2 people (that I know of, at least) in my FC were 1.0 players. They tell me it was a dark time. One of them almost quit the game entirely until ARR was announced
@@someclevername8167 yea 1.0 was apparently really bad, i'd still like to experience it for myself though
Same honestly.
Just for perspective. I got a first beta acess for 1.0 and the beta was so bad i left ff14 till stormblood
just play ff11
Don't forget the Legacy Chocobo mount, along with the permanent account discount.
For new players, it was the beginning. But for legacy players, it was a new chapter...
Being a legacy member myself, I had no idea our intro was different 😆
the real question... why did you make your guy look like Action Jonny from the Venture Bros with that porn-stache
It's DRAAAAVEN
Why don't you
Epic trolling, leaving the mouse in the center of the screen. :D
:D CUTE! n.n
Miqo'te here, kept trying to pounce the screen
I didn't realise the beginning I got was legacy until now many years later I just thought it changed after a while when I made new characters
Lol your character was like "I booked you an appointment... WITH PAIN!!"
The 1.0 music is a nice touch :)
since we will never get a reworking of 1.0's story i wish we would get like a novel or something covering it
Nice Garlond Goggles on your avatar, 1.0 exclusive item
actually they are just dyed black mechanist goggles lol@@DJVexillum
Welp lol they still look cool
Makes me wish I hadn’t quit the original version. In my defense, I couldn’t figure out how the quest system worked and exploration looked like the world was totally empty outside of a city so I didn’t put much patience in.
Same
Imagine if they replicate all the characters from legacy(that were active) and put them in the cutscenes. That would’ve been so dope
I miss this.. Lost access to the email to my old legacy :(
Haha! Really jelly of legacy players now lol! Then again I do have my characters I wouldn't lose for the world
My headcanon is that my Warrior of Light wasn't one originally, just a normal adventurer. Then she got injured at Carteneau and lost her memories. Makes me a little less salty that I don't get the cool intro lol.
@@pixelapocrypha my main character is similar, she wakes up on a boat headed for Limsa Lominsa only knowing her name and remembers that dream, my overall goal was to create her with a sense of curiosity in mind to explore and grow
GOD I wish I'd known about FFXIV from the beginning!!!
I kinda want this back lmao because with the new one it makes you think where the hell did my character come from??
My poor Auri haha
A lot of things make you think that.
We are referred to in some very weird ways throughout ARR, HW, SB, and ShB. We've been told that we're remembered by people from much longer ago than the events of the original FFXIV, and we're nigh invincible.
Our origin is basically the same as the characters back 1.0 random appearing in the middle of the forest is just that legacy charcaters story continues.
Well, after beating ShB, you kind of see this in a new light
Mine is literally from another world all together, so it makes sense. She's lost in an unknown world trying to figure out what's going on. But what she does know is....... she has to save the world again.
@@Unethical.Dodgson That's explained in Shadowbringers when you fight the endgame boss. I'm not gonna spoil it, but basically, they pull a Skyward Sword.
This makes me wish I was playing when 1.0 was still a thing.
Thank you for showing us this
Don't Forget Legacy Characters have a tattoo also.
I think the cave in the beginning may have been the cave you started in with 1.0. My memory is a bit hazy but I believe that is where you started and met Y’shtola.
I'm crying just thinking that there are these lost warriors of light among us and we don't know who they are until we get to cutscenes or they come out saying, hey I'm a legacy player! 😭
Bah! 95% of players will never get to see this.
More like 99.95%
If everyone's special then no one's special and the MMORPG loses its guiding force. You want to stand out of the crowd because there's a crowd to stand out from.
Y'all would be surprised how many people made it through. Look at the Meteor Survivor list later in ARR 2.0's ending.
0:59 jfc, to that jump-scare I would've reacted but the WoL just continued walking forward and stood there emotionless. wtf.
Because he has seen worse. You remember even if they don't.
If that's a jumpscare to you then I sincerely hope you have a healthy heart.
Hydaelyn didn't tell them to think yet
Geez I kinda wished I could play it during 1.0 just to have stuff like this but sadly I was 8-10 during the time of it and my parents weren’t going to let me spend their money every month to play a game I would quit soon after playing it
Nobody sad about how those guys are truly trapped in another realm? No Family or friends close by anymore? House gone, Maybe Children?
Till sea swallows all! Maelstrom ftw
Question though, do you get this opening for just the character you had during 1.0, or every character on your account? It also feels like this one is specifically tailored for a Limsa starting class and that there'd be Ul'dah and Gridania ones, too.
its just for the 1.0 characters.
i feel like that last line was not suppose to sound so... foreboding.
Legacy intros are shut down now.
Hello dragons dogma dragon voice actor I love you in every fantasy game your in
Wait, that's the same guy that voiced Grigori? I knew he sounded familiar.
@@biggles982 jirya sensai!!
Legacy players had ENORMOUS mouse cursors.
and we have our mark o the twelve!
Dang, I should have recorded the intro. I recently got my account back after having it locked for years and I got to experience it first hand.
The worst part of this is I would have been 'legacy' if the employee who knew how bad 1.0 was didn't try to rescue me from it.
legacy player intro
pros: don't have to meet alphinaud
cons: don't get to meet alisaie
That was so cool put you in the cut
My big brother adamantly refused to let me get 1.0 and now I get to just sit back and see all the players from back then get all this cool stuff like a free special chocobo . I love him so very much
That’s really great!
Wish I could have been, but my PC couldn't play it. Had to wait until the console drop with ARR beta. But, still a great game that I'm glad to have been around so long for.
Ah Legacy Players, I wonder how many still exist in game? But they got some neat stuff for being legacy players though, a nice tattoo on their back and a different intro.
Im still around :D
I actually transferred my legacy character into the beta for ARR...but then I deleted her because I wanted to start fresh when ARR got released...I had no idea legacy characters would get so many perks and I regretted it so much T^T..... Oh well.
I did something similar where i started a new character instead of using my old one, i still have the ring but not the tattoo
Still doin it! Been subbed from the beginning. Well, excluding when they suspended the monthly payments and allowed free play temporarily while they were trying to fix things, of course.
I'm still around also :)
Oh that’s cool. I have a legacy account but I didn’t bring over my old character so I never saw this lol
wowperson26 same here
imagine losing the war and the world, couldn't be me.
Aw man this intro looks awesome
So THAT'S why they're called warriors of light
"haven for bandits and brigands" and catgirls
Oh cool I didn't know this was a thing
Are you alive?
So... Draven got pulled into FF and became a scholar. Interesting character development.
damn i wish i had stuck it out lol. of course i stopped before going to basic in 2010 and didnt pick it back up until 2015
I played 1.0 however I have no clue how to get my veteran tattooed character back and sadly it’s character bonded and not account bonded ...
Not gonna lie, the thumbnail had me legit thinking your character had just gone Ultra Instint
That is so cool
The Legacy Character intro is rather lackluster. But I’m still glad that the dedicated 1.0 fans got this much love and attention.
Yeah am I insane or is this just the regular intro except you portal back instead of it being a "dream" before you get the scene with the peddler? (which apparently you don't get)
While this is 5 years old. I'd like to note that I can still play my Legacy Intro and all Legacy cutscenes from 2.0, so its still a thing for us. Only thing we can't do anymore is watch our 1.0 cutscenes, as they pulled that out due to having some type of problem on the back end.
their intro is so much more awesome!
Lol imagine if Legacy characters got to canonically kill an Ascian in the intro
I guess this shows how long ago I started playing this game because I thought I actually had a beginning like this but I did not play during 1.0. I actually started mid-way through Heavensward.
Is much of this the same as non-legacy with just a few little extras thrown in? That might explain why it seems familiar even though I didn't have it. :)
Non legacy starts in a wagon being taken to their starting city, only Legacy players get teleported through time into a forest.
@@pixelapocrypha To clarify, only legacy players who played at the end of 1.0 got teleported into the forest. I'm a legacy player who stopped playing before YoshiP took over; I got the tattoo but had the wagon cart intro.
It's kinda a bummer I was never able to play 1.0; because despite account creation, I couldn't instal/play the game because it was too big for my PC at the time. Whomp whomp.
Also have our Back Brand
Wait my characters are legacy. Everyone's intros aren't like this? What's the non-legacy intro? XD
u ride in on a cart lol
You have a much longer intro where you ride in a carridge being introduced to the city you're going to and what to expect, or in the case of Limsa Lominsa, a ship. This is also where you first see Alphinaud and Alisaie
@@Justinwa0309 your either in a boat sailing to Limsa or in a cart going to Gridania specifically. I'm new to the game so I didn't even know there were different with whichever job you chose to start off as. Not sure about Ul'dah though but probably the cart again.
***** You had to be log when the worlds was going to be shutdown for 1.0. That how i got it and my gf did not she just got the normal into.
You.didn't have to be logged in to get the intro. I stopped playing 1.0 well before it ended and still got the intro, neck tat and other things.
Cool
Eventually we'll have a legacy intro as well in FF24 a realm reborn from ashes anew in the darkness of light, part 2 the VR-mmo 07 ;) :p
And this will forever remind me that i forgot to claim my neck tattoo when arr came out and i didn't know that was a thing 😂
There was no process required to claim the tattoo. If you carried your 1.0 character through you just type /legacymark to make it appear.
@@oOSereneAuroraOo then its even worse because I deleted a character the very 1st character I made months ago and if I recall it's character bound not account bound right? 😂 I wonder why the ff support team told me otherwise but maybe I misread the email 🤔
Nooooo! Oh I'm so sorry. Yes it is character based not account based. :(@@xmixaplix
Sounds like the narrator for Hunter X Hunter
Can you view the intro again at the inn? Which tab was it in?
QQKachu they removed it from inn viewing
So legacy player walk to city while none legacy take chocobo carriage lol cool I guess
I really should have played FFXIV 1.0. I had the game. But I never had the time for it :(
It was awful, you really didn't miss anything.
Good god, your PC's boots sound so SQUEAKY lol!
PumpkinLicorice yes omg lol 😵
Well, how else would you know he's one of the finest fry cooks in the world lol?
The fuck I'm a legacy player and I never got this intro
Then you played a character that was not originally made in 1.0.
nah you're wrong. I had 3 characters that I made in 1.0, two of them I took through the storyline and the other one I left at lvl1 and did nothing with that character. when I started in ARR, two got the legacy intro and the lvl1 one got the new intro. You would probably would have had to finish the 1.23b storyline to get the legacy intro. so in short, 1.0 characters can have the non-legacy intro.
1.0 players also have a tattoo on their characters upper back, just below the neck.
I played the 1.0 beta. It sucked and my computer couldn't handle it so I didn't stick around. Alas, hindsight...
Summoner FTW boiii
I chose a legacy server even though I never played OG so I saw this.
*Edit I was mistaken, I thought the first part was the Legacy intro.
This is a special opening for players who played through 1.0....there's no way to get it otherwise.
@@ericaw528 The part with the blue dream area and the man on the mask is the legacy intro right?
@@neonrelmsproductions4224 no, that happens for everyone. the lagecy intro is when the character gets teleported (2:00), any characters made after the launch of ARR shows the character riding in a carriage (or being in a ship if your starting city is Limsa) after the dream sequence.
@@amiralijx5327 Oh ok thank you
DAD mousecursor
So, do the scions remember you if you're a legacy character?
Based on some old comments, only Minfillia. After the Ultima fight, everyone else remembers.
huh funny i got this opening lol
Yeah? Well I come from Vana'diel! How-bou-da?!
Move that damn mouse cursor
im legacy and i dont have this opening >:o
I believe you had to finish all the MSQ of 1.0 to see it
I'm legacy and also didn't get it. I just got the regular one?
Seems unfair.
Drew I only got to ifrit in 1.0 due to toaster laptop. I did pay several months sub before 1.0 went free. I got the intro, chocobo, and tattoo. Missing the Ultimate weapon Scions remember you cutscene.
What intro do non legacies get?
You're in the back of a caravan heading to whatever starting city you choose with a sleeping Alisae and Alphinaud, and some random NPC. You get some small dialogue and a bit of world building, the caravan is attacked by local beast men and you then arrive in the city.
@@PillsHere69oh, okay. That also happens after this intro. All these years and I never knew we, legacy players, had a bit longer intro. Thanks.
Is the forest bit the same regardless of starting city?
Yes
The beginning was awful in general...
Glad the game becomes great later.
So mad that there is no way to earn a Legacy Status, only to witness cool things like the intro and chances in dialogue and such
Haha, well it's only fair. Personnaly, as a non legacy (i did play a bit of the original FF XIV but gave up) it's pretty damn awesome because it feels that the world is actually a bit more alive and unique and gives you a unique perspective on it depending if you were legacy or not :) When i started to understand the concept, I thought it was pretty cool that my character and myself was probably seeing the world completely differently, at least initially, than a legacy player
I’m not a legacy player but it’s fair. And I don’t think there should be a way to earn that kind of status. It awesome they did this kind of stuff for the people who returned to the game. I only recently got into mmos when I started playing ffxiv. So I can only hope that when the next final fantasy mmo comes out I’ll be lucky enough to take part from the beginning. Tho I don’t see that happening anytime soon so I’ll just play on and eventually I’ll have things that new players aren’t able to get. I believe I already do. Or at least have things that are really hard for new players to get. It’s really not a good reason to get mad. Lol you could probly buy a legacy account tho if you tried hard enough and had enough real life money to pay for it.
Did you get anything else on your legacy account?
discount on sub, tatoo on your back and a special chocobo
@@Khankra90 are you still playing?
@@MMOPH4U from time to time, yes
@@Khankra90 if your planning on selling your account let me know 😁
Those things, plus slightly altered dialogue, a slightly altered ending for 2.0 and a tattoo on your back
Very jealous that i was to poor to play the first one
