Couple of things... They have explained that due to the graphic intensive textures they had to lower graphic performance from 1.0 to 2.0. New tech is now available so maybe we will get upgraded graphics later on. Second it has been stablished that our current primals aren't the real ones but "Dark Summons" that look tile the originals. So our 2.0 primals are actually evil and bad to Eorzea.
