It would be good to see all the Generals again before the final fight, but like Y'shtola said in 'living on a prayer' she leaves your company in Limsa Lominsa to tell the allied councel the location of the 7th Legion presumably to get them ready on the final result.
I don't know what SE has planned but if it's something like, you meet the allied council for "one last charge into the breach"
go to Mor Dhona fight VIIth legion soldiers for a set time period so that Lousioix can complete the summoning and then fight the abomination created by the twelves presence would be great. That way you could see everyone one last time and participate in fighting the Legion, it'd be good if the monstrosity was soloable that way people could do it at their leisure if SE makes it like you said, ends game play until 2.0.
about the Divine Chronicles i don't know much about it but with the PLD relic sword Curtana is mentioned to be one of 3 Divine Blades from the Sultan Sworn so many Daybreak is another of the three.
though Daybreak sounds very familiar as well to Dawnbreaker ( ? ) The sword in FFXI storyline that completely destroyed the Tavnazia Archipelago and sunk it to the sea.

I'm not certain. The meteor is almost here. We saw the cutscenes. Not don't there will be a final battle before shut down.
Hopefully thye have different leveled ones that all peopel can take part in. THose that got as far as Livign on a prayer can partake in the upper levels and get a closing cutscene.
Probably will be area battles in waves. OF group fights since there is a limit with the engines ability to display large amounts of characters on screen.
