Taking your characters along to the sequel would mean what exactly? If you kept all your skills and gear, well then they couldn't change up the game now could they? The whole point of the sequel seems to be to make it a new game, not an expansion for Destiny. So that means abandoning old things. Maybe they could just have a tool to import the appearance of your character and call it a day.
This news makes me very hopeful.
Yeah, the idea of leaving behind our characters doesn't make me sad in the least. Our characters are completely meaningless. I don't even remember what my Guardians' voices sound like. They have no personality, no development, no arch. Really, our characters are nothing more than collections of gear, and I certainly hope gear won't be carried forward into D2.
If Destiny were closer to Mass Effect in terms of the style of game it is, then perhaps losing my characters would upset me. But as it is, I'm happy about the idea of a clean break. Let's start again from scratch, hopefully with better results in the storytelling realm this time :)
