There should be exclusive items in all versions of the game that you just can't get again, even 3.0 should have something because it's a reward for those players who've played and stuck with the game.

Really at the end of the day I want the company to stand by what it says.

When it comes to video games, "exclusive" has (for better or worse) come to mean "this is the only way to get this item at this particular moment". All across gaming, we've seen it with exclusive CE rewards, veteran rewards, DLC that eventually goes free, etc. Anyone who is expecting otherwise is setting themselves up for disappointment.

I've seen developers go as far as making statements like "..this item will never be available again outside this offer so long as I'm lead on this project..", which even then is only a guarantee until that particular developer moves on and another lead with different ideas takes their place. Very little remains exclusive forever, especially if it wasn't paid for through a micro-transaction.

Says that the the Legacy Campaign stuff will remain exclusive, never anything about other 1.0 items

Asuran Armguard (FF XIII promotion code item) remain also exclusive. And all the dated gears.

Hermes Shoes were also 1.0 exclusive too (could only gain them by having a concurrent FFXI account as well as a FFXIV 1.0 account and linking them together). Onion Helm and Garlond Goggles were bonus items vouchers that as far as I understand are still available to be redeemed, as long as you can track down an unused code (which is becoming increasingly difficult to find).
