I don't believe this to be the case. 1.0 characters have the option of considering themselves to be time-skipped (optional meaning they get the tattoo marking, but have the option to turn it on or off as they choose to fit their personal story's circumstances). I believe the opening new sequence is the beginning of your current ARR story, being chosen by the big blue crystal and whatnot
