That being the case, I think the game is geared to make you think that you are a hero from Carteneau and before it. Otherwise, it's left open to interpretation.For the most part that has been what I've concluded from in game evidence and seen a few other threads say. The other side I have seen people saying the opposite because of the different openings that 1.0 legacy players get of just appearing and walking into your starting zone as opposed to 2.0 players getting carted in on the chocobo cart and giving the set up that the 2.0 carters are just adventurers from somewhere else just traveling to that zone at the time while the legacy intro seems to indicate the character finally reappearing from the time warp spell cast by Louisoix on those at Carteneau. That seems to be the main point of I contention have found in regards to this.
For RPers I think no one really minds if someone new to ARR claims to have been involved at the battle so long as they've got their lore straight and in reverse, many people who carried over from 1.0 didn't go anywhere near the battle.
 OH ho! I did not realize this, since I'm not a Legacy player; I've only known about the one opening and it seemed to denote as much.
 I guess in that case the opening for new players in ARR is much like the opening for FFXIV 1.0 so my point is retracted on the matter of new players -likely- having been from the battle.
 RP wise it doesn't matter. Roegadyn women were everywhere, they were just hiding in the shadows, biding their time! Really BIG shadows! *shakes Lost because she enjoys shaking her* If you want to be from the Battle, then you can look up the lore and go with it! If you don't want to have been there, no sweat~ No one's judging you.
Except me.
And probably Bahamut.
