Hopefully that will be what happens.

YES... YES and MORE YES!!!!!

I do enjoy more dynamic lighting. Many areas in the game now are either too bright or there is some unnatural lighting emanating from walls and such...

Any news on the walking animations/system? Would like to know if they reuse the code from 1.0 or do a new one from scratch.

I cant wait!!! NEWS!!

Like everyone else, I can't wait for all the technological improvements and game mechanics improvements, however.....

Above all else I can't wait to see if 2.0 will immerse and suck me into the world like FFXI did. For those who dislike any FFXI referencing, quell your flames please. I just want FFXIV 2.0 to feel like a world and an adventure, not a game. This is akin to how some people get immersed into a book, movie, music, etc.

Yeah... I'm getting the feeling that XI was a one time deal

Seeing another thread recently has made me realize there must have been a place to store all of my 2.0 excitement, so here it is!

*puts it in a time capsule to be revisited many moons from now*

I do want to come back to these threads in 2013 and enjoy how much anticipation was in the air

It is pretty neat! Even a document I made around launch with my "grounded" wishlist, seeing more than half the things on that list crossed off.

i.e. NPC repairing accessories, manually selecting home points, actions do not reset when switching classes, invite to party from a distance, claim multiple enemies, item search through wards, etc.

some things still on my list that I'll plant here that will probably make me giggle post 2.0:

mailbox,
remove linkshell members while offline or from a distance,
linked market wards,
item search by name (1.22),
buyback,
static level-range selection on local leves,
ability to right click on a person's name during chat to send a whisper/party invite/blacklist,
ability to right click on an item to buy or sell,
drag-and-drop action bars
