And that changes how? The game doesn't "exist" (I'd say even then, 2.0 is a version upgrade of 1.0, just a very big one) but the items still do. So comparisons are just as valid. Same goes for 2.0 items like the Dalamud minion which is now locked out to people who buy Before Meteor right now. I wanted that item, but tough luck for me: I missed out. I'm not going to whine and make the billionth forum post begging SE.

You are arbitrary putting lines down when they are the same thing: Exclusive items that you got if you were playing at the time and did the requirement. If you didn't you missed out.

Tough luck, please stop acting like children who didn't get their candy.
