My thinking is that whatever transpires by the end of the 7th Umbral Era story leads to the dramatic area destruction that we've seen in the concept art. It's likely being used to explain why the entire game will look different after 2.0. It's kind of interesting that those playing up until that point get the "Prologue" as it were.
This is one of the reasons I'm thinking about staying. If I go the "I'll come back at 2.0" I get the feeling that once 2.0 I'm going to be thinking of how all the changes affected the game, how the game evolved. I don't know about you guys, but at least saying that I was part of the evolution of FFXIV (if it does end up being a good game in the eyes of the industry) is kinda exciting.
