There's just too much they've had to scrap completely and completely redo and then create brand new content on top of that to call ARR the same game that FFXIV was the first ~2 years.
This is a two month old game.


People are complaining about what happens to every MMO that's ever launched. ARR was never promised to be a ground-breaking game when it launched. From the very beginning Yoshi said 2.0 will just be a baseline to put FFXIV on the same level with other modern MMO's, and that's exactly what they did. Anyone expecting more than that from ARR's launch period, hell for ANY MMO's launch period for that matter, either have terrible memory or must be new to MMO's in general.
Again this isnt a NEW game it is a RE-RELEASE of a failed game. They used the majority of the 1.0 content for 2.0 and didnt add very much new content. If this was a completely new game everything content wise would be brand spanking new but it is not it is rehashed content from 1.0. Regardless of who is the lead dev or not they are useing designs from 1.0 as well as content that had not been released in 1.0.
