After receiving confirmation from Naoki Yoshida, some servers will be open with the arrival of the 2.0 version, and it will only be possible to join these servers with a new character. That means new players will have the choice of starting equal to everyone, or pick an "old" server.

(the following part isn't very clear) To prevent inflation, it is planned that future player housing will cost some gil. Same thing for some high level content. That doesn't mean that housing and specific content will only be accessible to rich players !

Everything is still under development, so I can't give you more details.
What isn't clear about the last part? It sounds like it's kind of how they handled things in XI -- Dynamis used to cost 500k - 1 million, Einherjar costs 60k - 120k (been awhile so not sure), Limbus costs 15k, Legion costs 360k -- To fully decorate yourself excluding crafting costs of items you can't buy anymore it would take quite a few million to do so, so this is likely what it means by a cost attached to prevent inflation of some kind.
