I am Legacy, and see my recent post if you're curious as to how I feel about the Legacy community. Legacy players aren't just rpers, and they're not just rpers who played the old version of this game. They are rpers who stuck together and stuck it out through the WORST mainline Final Fantasy game in the franchise.
I wish I was exaggerating, but as bad as your favorite FF chewtoy is, it was at least PLAYABLE, had CONTENT, and had a STORY. 1.0 was very, very grim at launch.
These are people who are good enough that they all stayed together, solely to stay with each other. Even the ones who disagree, and argue with each other, chose to stick with the community. I think that speaks volumes.
Now, that being said, that's EXACTLY why I can understand people wanting to go to Gilgamesh too. Because there is a certain fun in starting out together, struggling through the hardships, and having to build things from scratch. You'll definitely have an easier time of it, not having to contend with an utterly broken game.
Basically... I don't think there is a wrong choice here. Creating on both servers isn't a bad idea. There's sure to be a big rp event shortly after launch, and that should give you a good idea of which community suits you best.
