Ehh, people always want to be special snowflakes ;)
As far as story goes, new players will probably be treated the same as us, there will be no huge differences post 2.0.

Maybe everyone will have their memories of that time mysteriously erased.
It will be simplier to treat every player the same way, but I think it'd be a little...unfair for all of us.
I think Legacy Players should be rewarded for supporting the game all this time.
In fact, It'd be fair to give us lots of things that new players can't have. For example, job quests are issued by certain NPC that will teach you some abilities and reward you with Artifact Armor (Although some of them are crap). Imagine if these NPCs dies at the fall of Dalamud, who will be there to pass the "ancient art of <insert_job_name>" to the newbies ?
Of course, there will be another version of warrior, white mage, etc..., but an artificial one, giving them a little less power. Not enough to create a balance issue, but enough to say "Thanks to all the players who believe in the dev team"
Or...WE can be the one to teach the lore of ancient jobs, through a mentor system.
