What do we take with us to version 2.0?

Hi,

I'm sure this has been stated somewhere before - but - what will carry over to v2.0?
Characters? Names? Job levels? Skills? Anything?
Do we get reserved character names?
Will we get to have our names go down in history or anything?

Anyone know or have any read anything to suggest what's going to happen?
Also, feel free to speculate - but it'd be best if you make it clear by marking it with SPECULATE.

we get to take Grade 5 Dark Matter!

we take everything with us the storyline is the only thing that would be change.

Everything except the character look. Even if you don't change, the look would still be bit different.

Almost everything comes with us. It's more about what we don't get to keep or changes, which we so far know to be:

- Our current character's race/gender/appearance (we get a redesign opportunity).
- The current inventory space/inventory structure. Exact storage space will possibly reduced, but this would be offset by other alleviations, such as a mannequin system for different sets of gear.
- Anything specific to version 1.0 that you may have forgotten to pick up, so don't forget to get your gobbue horn for example, as the ability to obtain this will disappear.

Hopefully SE bring out a list what quest and content don't make it to 2.0

There is a great forum post on what is going on in 2.0. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...in-Version-2.0 Here's the link for ya. This includes a lot of other information, but has a lot of information on what we're taking with us.

With a little over two months until beta (supposedly) officialy starts, as a returning player it would be appreciated if SE pulled a list of content that will no longer be available after the severs go down.

On a limited play schedule, it would be nice to experience as much as possible of the old world before it succumbs to the aether.

hopes and dreams

Since the 90 day payments stop at the end June, I'd say there's at least a little over 3 months until the Beta starts.

Roadmap indicates:
"Radical Changes in the game world" in August
"Version 2.0 Software Distribution" on October
"PS3 Beta Test" on what I wildly guess is the second week of november

I'd set PC beta on October, however I do not remember wether they mentioned if the PC beta was coming before the PS3 one but supposedly they will both be running together at some point.

So more like 3 months, yes

Pretty Much Everything that isn't branded dated will follow into 2.0, as much as i hate it. my green mail set that i was one day going to place on a mannequin will never happen.

as for current NM drops and other unique gear like the buccaneers/Templar set may no longer be obtainable come 2.0.

...I'm curious as to how they're going to transition class quests and such into 2.0. They'd all have to be very heavily remodeled and scripted

lol they already did all that work and it's also the reason that when 2.0 does come around any quest not completed will be rolled back to the start because of how much the quest changed and such.

Alpha starts in September, which is basically a stress test.

We keep our dated gears. Only the old recipes would be gone.

In Gamerescape's E3 Interview, Yoshi-P says that having such a list is a great idea, so he'll look into having one made up for release around 1.23. We should have at least 1.5 months to play 1.23, so hopefully that's enough time.
