Hard Mode dungeons, the new dungeon, CT(although it is disappointing that you can't enter as a 24 man FC) and all the gear from them sound great for an alt class though. Combined with the existing endgame content, it does feel a little like 2.1 is how endgame should have been to start with.
What's nice is that these updates add more options to new players who will buy the game later, level up to 50, and drop their jaws in awe at the many, many options. Add in some more dungeons, story segments, house updates, new storylines, and miscellaneous stuff and events... not to mention the golden saucer for nonstop gambling fun... And I'll be more than tided over while I prepare to join the Ala Mhigan resistance and free the peoples of Gyr Abania from the clutches of the Garlean Empire. And finally enter Ishgard. And finally explore Sharlayan.
