The thing about it is, the stuff for 2.0 looks a little more on par with XI content then now, Tanaka gave us a crap game now that we're paying can I say that without getting flamed by his fanboys? When Tanaka decided to lose his ingenuity while creating FFXIV, the team of FFXI gave the population whatever they shat for content, it was awful, there WAS NO COMMUNICATION, and it ruined the game for a lot of us. So we're stuck, with XIV has tons of potential, and a XI that sucks.

Another point, content will be easier to make when we only have one engine for the game to make it for. When FFXIV is 3-4 years old, we should then start judging it on FFXI standards of content, right now, we had Tanaka to Yoshi-P change, tsunami and earthquake that caused power outages, and a new engine being developed. Its just understandable at least in my opinion that we won't have content comparable to even other mmos (not just XI) for a bit. Its hard to wait, but I've been playing since CE, and still this is the game with the most potential for me, if I wanted WoW clones I'd play SWTOR am I right? We wanted a FFXI clone a bit, but not exactly cause XI still pissed us off. I think they know that, they know we're all ex XI players (for the most part), and that in a way they'll cater to us while still trying to make this game playable to new players who didn't play xi.

Also goobue mounts, moogle content, that is called fanservice, I think it is demographic, Japanese people (and me i'm a 21 year old girl so its ok for me but w/e) love Kawaii culture, so I think the moogles were part of that (my thm weapon spins KAWAIIIII! yeah they got me) and I believe since we got the goobues, we'll get ahrimans and drakes, since those are the others they showed with movement and such, so hopefully if someone doesn't like the goobue they'll like the drake or the ahriman, I want the last personally the most.
