Oh my god you mean to tell me that SUMMONERS ARE COMING ? REALLY ? AS IN ARE YOU SERIOUS ? Wow.... that actually never crossed my mind.... Oh wait.... Is there lore for it ? Yes!! Has the producer himself said is coming ? Yes! ..... Hmmm So the surprise is in where ?

The fact that it's probably coming at launch or soon after and not in an expansion.

Why would you assume an expansion ? There has been no talks of an expansion, only of 2.0...... You know logic dictates that if they are hinting towards 2 classes being released "Soon" or that they are in the "Works" that they would be for the upcoming tittle/patch/update/upgrade/ w/e you call 2.0..... But sure yeah expansion lol

Actually before 1.0 was released Tanaka said they were already developing an expansion so there has in fact been talks of an expansion. I assume it was either put on hold or became what is now A Realm Reborn.

Those where given to us as updates pre/after yoshida..... Do you think all this content was created out of thin air ? Also some of it or a vast majority could have ended up in what is going to be 2.0.....

That is basically what I said that the expansion they were working on became 2.0 instead. They wouldn't have released a new expansion without a story to go with it which is likely where this story originated from. And everything they have been adding to the game is stuff they would have been doing regardless maybe not the same stuff but stuff nonetheless. And yes pretty much all the content is created out of "thin air" its not like they have a warehouse full of content they can go through, take what they want and implement it to the game.

Not fully, i am sure they used some of the concepts and ideas, and even content to update 1.0 while the new team worked on 2.0, but as far as content from the expansion being used for 2.0, i seriously doubt it, for 2.0 is an entirely 180 from Tanaka's vision, and since FFXIV is taking content and ideas from other tittles of the main series(Wish is more in line with Yoshidas vision) i doubt that was the case, and yes they do have a werehouse full of content, FF1-13/spin offs, thats where they will draw their ideas and content.

Unless you don't recognize certain aspects of the game, that have been directly stolen from the main series.
