Not sure this has been asked yet, but I'd like to have something cleared up.
As far as I understand characters from 1.0 are transported five years into the future where ARR starts. However, this doesn't seem to apply to newly created characters in ARR or even many of the NPCs around the world.
Since it's only been five years since the calamity, it's pretty obvious that all new characters were alive before that event as I doubt any of them are just five years old.
So how do you plan to handle this RP wise? I guess the question is what makes those that were transported different or special to those that weren't? I guess the assumption is that they were at that final battle even if they actually weren't in-game.
I'm trying to create a story for a new character and I was kinda stumped by this as she would have been alive during the calamity, yet my old character would have been transported, I assume. It's likely that my new character would have seen the world change while my old one would have no idea what happened in those five years.
Do I have this all wrong? What are your plans/thoughts?
