I see you have not taken off your nostalgia glasses. The base game of 3.0 can easily count for 30% of the full content if we want to be stingy, assuming we get five more patches down the road which consist of 3 new dungeons every patch. If you only do ONE thing, yes this game feels light since you probably farm one dungeon over and over? But for general audience who wants to try every thing, there are tons of stuffs to do. 2.0 does not suddenly disappear overnight. If you are leveling new classes, 2.0 still valid. Even if you are ALL level 50s, getting all those jobs to 60 could take quite a bit. Three months is rather conservative estimate. Assuming you are quite normal and play the game at most 4 hours a day - and not 15 hours a day?

FF14 is best to be experienced in a smaller chunk of 3-4 hours a day, you get a lot stuffs done, can try a few different things and not just doing the same N.Thanalan FATE over and over, or farming Fractal for your tomes. Heck you do not even need to play every single day for 8 hours.... 3-5 days a week, 4 hours (6 hours on weekend if you must) is more than plenty.
