As most of us certainly do, there are questions that do need to be asked. I have a few myself.

Will I have to upgrade to fully experience FFXIV 2.0?
Will the current Eorzea story still be present in 2.0?
If so, will it merely be an archive of events past, and our characters thrown into the future?

I've invested my character into this game as any character in any Final Fantasy game. I have started small and discovered the world around me, and its lore. I hope this has been taken into account for Eorzeas future.

I'll be gladly paying my dues to make sure 2.0 becomes all that it should be. I believe a subscription model to be superior to micro-transaction, it creates a superior experience for the consumer. I'd have started paying for this game at release, because well... I have never stopped playing, in hopes that this game would be all that I had hoped for in a new MMORG Final Fantasy. I'm proud to get to play content that no one else will get to play. It makes us unique.
