Why would this content be done only once if you can do it after 2.0? Only things they are keeping are the primal battles and a couple other things from what I've read. The Echo might still be there, but the missions won't.

I'm sorry, but you've been provided with misinformation. The content we are talking about are the main storyline missions that you get from the Order of the Twelve and Ashcroft Consortium, etc. They never said we could only do it once, they said it will be available after 2.0 and they will build on it.

Think of it like a normal RPG from the PS1 era. The main storyline missions are like Disc 1. After 2.0 they will be adding Disc 2. They wouldn't try and sell you a copy of Final Fantasy VIII with the first disc missing! Of course we'll still be able to do the main storyline quests. Would you play a game of FFXI with all the expansion packs, but without the original content? (The Shadow Lord fight, etc.)

The Seventh Umbral Era quests (which include the Primal battles) WILL be getting erased. Have you fought Ifrit? The whole reason you fight him is because his actions are causing the destruction of the world. After 2.0 the destruction of the world HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, so you have no reason to fight him from a lore perspective.

When they announced "Exclusive story that will be gone after 2.0!" they were talking about the Primal Battles and the Grand Company quest-line. Just look at the 2.0 roadmap, it shows the "exclusive features" starting in patch 1.19. We all know the main story missions have been in the game since launch, not since 1.19 lol.

To bring this into my Final Fantasy VIII analogy: If the main storyline is Disc 1, and the story after 2.0 is Disc 2, the Seventh Umbral Era quests are kind of like the Chocobo's World mini-games. They are a part of the story, but it isn't the MAIN story, and they aren't available to everyone. (The Chocobo's World mini-games were only in the JP version of the game.)

Hope this helps explain some things.
