Not everyone knows the meaning of every three letter acronym.

On-topic, I'm sure if they don't include the current NMs in 2.0 they will have replacements, which will (likely) have the same drops. I don't think they want to make every pre-2.0 item exclusive to the "old" players.

Well the fact that the faction nm gear is in the achievement list its promising that they will include it post 2.0.

Thanks for the response.

All of them are most likely to remain, including the Primals. What made you think the Primal will disappear in 2.0? After all, we are promised to be able to summon Primal, and a new character created would have never had any interaction in the first place with them.

I am talking about access to the gear.

Most likely depends on what they do between now and then in terms of NM and open world content. Hopefully they adapt the ZNM system from FFXI with changes.

This way even while it's open world they can instance it Leve style (monsters claimed to you/party) and allow point based acquisition of better gear to keep it on par at minimum with materia gear.

Primal Gears will stay, can you cite whichever source that they are exclusive pre 2.0? The only exclusivity for 2.0 is the Grand Company storyline and the mounts.

It was said that primals would be done differently for 2.0 so the current battles most likely would not exist. Weather or not that means the weapons from them wont be available any more was never said.
As for finding the source; It was a dev. response from quite a while ago and I don't feel like searching it xD

ZNMs were fun, sleeping a mob for a couple of hours to kake pics wasnt. If they could remove the need to take pics of the mob they yay for ZNMs.

Also they should keep open world NMs after 2.0, infact how about FFXIV Fafnir or Behemoth that pops right outside Ul'dah every now and then, *poor noob walks out of uldah en route to Black Brush "Ahhhh the open...WTF"* *Fafnir's Spike Flail hits Poor Noob for 9999 damage* LMAO
