Been playing on and off for a few months again...

I've been playing on and off and reading/talking on the forums... Lately I've seen a lot of "2.0" will make things better and I was wondering how much "better" is it going to make the game and why? I can't seem to find any notes on what "great changes" 2.0 will have.

Well for starters... this:

So 2.0 is coming out near January 2013? Why are people so high about this patch if it's so far away? That's another whole year haha.

probly because theres a TON of stuff going in in between now and that specific patch

each patch has been pretty damn big

It's not so much the patch that people are "high on"(?) it is the road map.

Sounds like a troll.

That being said....none of us really know for sure how its going to end up. But I like the direction so far.

I don't think time is the issue with excitement. Overall many things that makes the game clumsy now is being addressed in 2.0 with additional content like PvP so there's a lot to be excited about. It'll be a rebirth and hopefully a successful one and one year for that isn't too distant. Plus we get preview in Q4, it's the ps3 folks that gets it in Q1 2013.

Well I hope it's worth it because I love the graphics in this game, have everything cranked to max but the game feels bland, granted I'm only level 22 on my main but my server is DEAD and playing alone sucks.

its only about 9-10 months away and there is alot of content on the way. I understand that someone who doesn't play the game may not be impressed by it, but many people have been playing the game for a long time and are excited to see the finished version.

Actually subscribers get the ver 2.0 client in October and "early" acess in Novmber. During that time FFXIV reverts back to free to play until SE relaunches XIV in January.
And like TheVedis said. Ver 2.0 type systems will be patched into the ver 1.x client between now and November. So essentially with each patch we are getting a piece of ver 2.0 until the "BIG PATCH" which is the new graphics engine, new maps and new story.
