[snip but quoted several of my questions, one question in each post]
you probably could have got this in one post

The thread has very clear rules. One question per post. Then people can like that post for their support for the question to be asked. If you ask more than one question in your post, there's no telling how many like which question so that post is automatically disqualified, as are all the votes associated with it.

Will there be wildlife (critters) in the world? Such as birds flying, butterflies, etc.


I haven't noticed any such things in the videos as of yet, but always enjoyed the small details in FFXI.

While this has not yet officially been answered, it is very likely that these things will exist in 2.0 as they already exist in large amounts in 1.xx already. If you look around Grid and the forest, there are butterflies everywhere. Limsa has heaps of birds. I'm not sure what Uldah has but it probably has it's own wildlife too. I've still not seen the owl in the Shroud though, wish I had... Maybe that's what I'll be looking at when Dalamud finally hits ^_^

When FFXIV:ARR launches will we keep our current lvls. or will we have to creat a new character and start over?

We will have our previous levels. You will also have the option of creating new characters but any old characters will remain (with very few changes: primarily the new gil redenomination and removal of no longer existing items and changing of some items and changing inventory systems/limits) with all of their experience and achievements in tact. The only things you might have to start over are certain quests (NOT the relic quest) which will be reset to the start of the quest; partial progress in those won't be saved apparently.
